TODAY'S SMILE
All I Ever Need To Know: I Learned on the Ark
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Don't forget that we're all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you do something REALLY big.
5. Don't listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
8. Two heads are better than one.
9. Speed isn't always an advantage; the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
10. When you're stressed, float awhile.
11. Remember the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic was built by professionals.
12. Remember that woodpeckers inside are a larger threat than the storm outside.
13. No matter the storm, when you're on with God, there's a rainbow waiting.

Then the LORD said to Noah, Enter the ark, you and all your household; for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time. Genesis 7:1
A Sunday School teacher asked her class to draw a picture illustrating a Bible story. One paper handed in contained a picture of a big car. An old man with long whiskers flying in the breeze was driving. A man and woman were in the backseat.
Puzzled, the teacher asked little Jimmy to explain his drawing. That's God. He's driving Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden

TODAY'S REFLECTION
I kept my faith, even when I said, I am greatly afflicted.
Psalm 116:10
God, help me in my own small way
To somehow do something each day
To show You that I love
You best And that my faith
will stand each test
Helen Steiner Rice
