San Bernardino County is a county in the U.S. state of California. As of the 2010 census, the population was 2,035,210, up from 1,709,434 as of the 2000 census. With an area of 20,105 square miles, San Bernardino County is the largest county in the contiguous United States by area, larger than any of the nine smallest states, and larger than the four smallest states combined; and larger than the closest-sized countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Costa Rica.[3]
Located in the southeast California, the thinly populated deserts and mountains of this vast county stretch from the outskirts of the densely populated Riverside-San Bernardino Area to the Nevada border and the Colorado River.
The county seat is San Bernardino. The county is considered part of the Inland Empire region.
HISTORY
Father Francisco Dumetz named San Bernardino on May 20, 1810, feast day of St. Bernardino of Siena.
San Bernardino County was formed from parts of Los Angeles County in 1853. Parts of the county's territory were given to Riverside County in 1893.
The Franciscans gave the name San Bernardino to the snowcapped peak in Southern
California, in honor of the saint and it is from him that the county derives its name.[2]

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Thank You Lord for another beautiful day! As we see the rain fall, the sun shine, the snow melt and breathe in the air You provided, we can't help but say, oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name! We thank You for Your power, we thank You for Your peace, we thank You for Your love, we thank You for Your joy, we thank You for Your protection, we thank You for our family, we thank You for our friends, we thank You for our jobs, we thank You for our homes, we thank You for food to eat and clothes to wear; Lord we praise You for Your goodness, for You have taken good care of us every day of our life. We pray that You will strengthen us to be all that You created us to be this day and that we realize You are there today, just as You have been all the days of our life. This is the day that you have made and we will do our best to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Lord, we thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for another beautiful day to live. Great is Your mercy towards us. You keep doing great things for us. You keep looking beyond our faults, our mess and mishaps and You continue to see the best in us. We pray each one will purpose in our heart to stay focused, give us the wisdom to recognize distractions and be determined not to be distracted. There are just a couple more weeks in this year, we pray each one will be determined to finish strong and begin today. Help us to see what we need to complete and the courage to just do it. We give You praise in advance for the great things we shall experience before 2015, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
I WISH
Have you ever said:
I wish I could sing like her?
I wish I could write like him?
I wish I was a poet?
I wish I was funny?
I wish I had big lips?
I wish I was an athlete?
I wish I was famous?
I wish I was rich?
I wish I had swagger like him, he has all the women?
I wish my behind was a little bigger?
I wish I was popular?
I wish I had a man/woman like her/ him?
I wish, I wish, I wish! Knock it off!
How ‘bout you just be happy being you?
How ‘bout being thankful for what you have?
You will never be happy “wishing”. We wish because we’re looking elsewhere, when the truth is, if we take the time to know “who we are” we’ll find we’re interesting ourselves. Stop wishing on a star and be happy that you are the star. In fact, you are the apple of God’s eye just the way He made you.
Wishing has destroyed relationships. Wishing has brought on great debt. Wishing has caused people to give up on who they are in search for who they wish they could be. Then, after all the wishing you end up wishing you never did, which means you’re still wishing.
The antidote for wishing is, believe God knew what He was doing when He made you (just the way you are). Embrace who you are, appreciate what you have and instead of wishing, be thankful! You are the best you God made and no one can beat you being you.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
How great is our God! Your Name is above all names and You’re absolutely worthy of our praise. We praise You because mighty are the works of Your hands. We thank You for continuing to be God no matter what we say or do. We thank You for being our refuge and strength, a very present help in our time of need. There is none like You! Thank You for loving us with all of You. We pray each one will dismiss all excuses today and just do “IT”! Whatever our “IT” is, today is the day to do it. Today is the day to make the first step. Today is the day to take the next step. Today is the day to finish what we started. We expect You to move mightily in the steps we take today. We pray a special prayer for Kim Maddox, praying for Your mighty healing touch to clear her body of all cancer. We’re also praying for Carl DuBois and family as they mourn the sudden passing of daughter, Lumika DuBois. Father, draw each one closer to You, comfort and grant them peace. Lord we thank You for today, so thankful we will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. In Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We praise the Name of Jesus! We thank You Lord for waking us to see another perfect day. We thank You for the gift of life. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We pray one for another, praying each one will take the time to enjoy the air You’ve given us to breathe. Take the time to admire the greenery You’ve given us to appreciate. Take the time to show love one to another, say thank you and I love you. Take the time to say uplifting words to our children. We have so much we should take the time to do and so much we should stop wasting time doing. Let us view today as a blessing and privilege to be alive and purpose in our heart to allow You to get glory out of our life today. We pray a special prayer for Norma Galvez, the doctors have spoken the word cancer, we pray You speak the word healing. Continue to strengthen her as she and her family look to You for an expedient mighty move of healing from You. We love You Lord and we shall go forth today showing Your love everywhere we go, in Jesus Name, Amen.
