  TODAY'S SMILE

  Laundry Delivery  

It was 6 p.m., and an employee was about to leave the local coin laundry. Her boss called her over and asked if she would mind dropping off someone's laundry on her way home.

"It's for my cousin," she apologized, "who's eight months pregnant and can't get out much anymore."

She cheerfully agreed and, driving to the address, knocked at the door. Little Johnny, the brother-to-be, answered.

"Hi, there," the lady said with a big smile. "Is your mommy home?" Holding up the white bundle of clothes, she explained, "I have a delivery for her."

Little Johnny's mouth dropped, and his eyes went wide. "Mom!" he shrieked,

Come quick!  It's the stork

TODAY'S WORD  

mé·lange noun

 A mixture: French, from Old French meslance, from mesler, to mix  

 

TODAY'S REFLECTION  

Some of you accuse others of doing wrong. But there is no excuse for what you do. When you judge others, you condemn yourselves, because you are guilty of doing the very same things.   Romans 2:1  

God's Word does not shrink from the truth. It is easy to blame or criticize others.  When you avoid criticizing, you fulfill Jesus' command to love your neighbor as yourself.
