A.A. Milne went to school in London where one of his teachers was H.G. Wells. They shared a love of books and became close friends in later years when they were both authors.

TODAY'S SMILE

All I Need To Know About Birthdays, I Learned From My Cat!

Be finicky - they'll try harder to please you.
Give attitude - get attention.
If you don't like your presents, SULK.
If you get bored at your party - just curl up for a nap.
Don't stress out over your first grey whisker
Act completely unimpressed by the presents you receive.
Remember, this is your day, so if anyone bugs you, you're allowed to hiss and spit.
Take the day off and lie in the sun.
Stay out on the prowl all night long.
Demand only the most expensive fresh fish for dinner.
It's a good day to shed your inhibitions.
Act catty - toy with your presents before you tear them open.
Don't overdo it with the catnip or you'll regret it in the morning.
If you aren't getting enough attention, sharpen your claws on somebody's leg.
Don't let anything or anyone PUT YOU OUT!

And remember...curiosity might kill you, but birthdays won't

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgment and His ways past finding out.

Romans 11:33

Today's scripture reminds us that we can feel secure, knowing that God is guiding our lives, even though prayers seem to be unanswered.
You can never understand his ways, but you can have the faith and patience to Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
