 TODAY'S TRIVIA

1863 Lincoln delivers his address in Gettysburg; 4 score & 7 years…

1895 - Frederick E. Blaisdell of Philadelphia, PA patented what he called the paper pencil -- a paper-wrapped pencil with a string for revealing more lead, like those china markers you buy these days

1959 - The last Edsel rolled off the assembly line. Ford Motor Company stopped production of the big flop after two years and a total of 110,847 cars

1961 - A year after Chubby Checker reached the #1 spot with The Twist, the singer appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show to sing the song again. The Twist became the first record to reach #1 a second time around -- on January 13, 1962

1965: Kellogg introduced a new pastry called Pop Tarts

TODAY'S SMILE

 Bob took his 4 year old son, Josh, out to McDonald's for dinner one evening for a "guy night". As they were eating hamburgers, Josh asked "Daddy, what are these little things on the hamburger buns?"

He responded that they were tiny seeds and were ok to eat. His son was quiet for a couple of minutes and obviously in deep thought.

Finally, Josh looked up and said: Dad, if we go home and plant these seeds in our backyard, we will have enough hamburgers to last forever

TODAY'S WORD

alleviate  a\uh-LEE-vee-ayt\ verb :

relieve, lessen: as a : to make (as suffering) more bearable

b : to partially remove or correct

 Mom suggested that ibuprofen and tea would perhaps alleviate some of the misery of my cold

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Galatians 6:7-8

One cannot plant the seeds of onions and expect petunias to come up. God's word is painfully clear. Many are living as though there are no consequences to their behavior. There will be a payday, someday. Our actions will produce results.

These words are also true of the positive as well as the negative. If we plant to please God we will also reap a harvest.

We will harvest the crop of joy and everlasting life.

 TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

When foxes bark at night, a storm is on the way

32 DAYS UNTIL WINTER

Delight yourself in the Lord and

He will give you the desires of your Heart

Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
