  TODAY IS...MAPLE SYRUP DAY  

Making maple syrup is the oldest agricultural enterprise in the U.S. A maple tree needs to be about 45 years old and 12 inches in diameter before it is tapped. A single tap will produce about 10 gallons of sap, and it takes 30-50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. Wow  

 NO BAKE MAPLE SYRUP COOKIES  

3 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
1. Put the peanut butter and maple syrup in a small sauce pan. Cook over low heat and stir until mixed. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

2. Dump the oatmeal, raisins and sesame seeds into a mixing bowl. Add the liquid mixture from your saucepan. Stir until well combined.

3. Form into cookies using your hands. Make balls or flatten them out. Place cookies on waxed paper until they are dry enough to hold together.

   TODAY'S SMILE

  A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be
liable for the cost of the meat?"

The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?"

"$7.98."

A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read:

 Legal Consultation Service: $150    

TODAY'S WORD  

in·vei·gle transitive verb  

1. To win over by coaxing, flattery, or artful talk. Synonym lure.  2. To obtain by cajolery: inveigle a free pass to the screening of the new film  

TODAY'S REFLECTION  

 ... but even when I am afraid, I keep on trusting you.   Psalm 56:3  

Bible experts agree that this is part of a Psalm written by David, when the Philistines captured him. Surely that must have been a terrifying time for David, as the Philistines were barbaric people. David had faced the giant Philistine warrior and had slain him, when David was only a teenager. David continued in his faith and God brought him out of his troubles  

Fear imprisons; faith liberates; fear paralyzes; faith empowers; fear disheartens; faith encourages; fear sickens; faith heals; fear makes useless; faith makes serviceable — and, most of all, fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in its God

Harry Emerson Fosdick

 I Love You All !!!  

 Be Blessed !!!
