HAPPY FRIDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DINO BOY!

6 years old today !

May the dear Lord Bless you !

Today is a vacation day from work, but I’ll be doing lots here at home. The weather finally warmed up a bit yesterday and we made it to the high 50’s. Today we may get some rain.

I have a few bare spots in the grass in the backyard so I put some lawn patch down and it needs a good soaking so the grass will grow.

This evening I’ll be going over to have dinner with my sisters and my Dad. There is a little restaurant near to where he lives that has very good perch dinners so I’ll be picking them up to take over .

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS...HAM RADIO DAY

Amateur radio is a community of people that use radio transmitters and receivers to talk to each other. They are called ham radio operators or just "hams." (The origin of this nickname is lost, so nobody knows why.) But, it's more than just a high-tech hobby. Normal means of communication are often lost during floods, hurricanes or earthquakes. Hams are always ready to use their radios for emergency services and help

TODAY'S SMILE

Wrong Lesson Learned

A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor. So, he produced an experiment that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms. "Now class. Observe the worms closely," said the professor putting a worm first into the water.

The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. The second worm he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail.

"Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment?" the professor asked. Johnny raised his hand, and thinking himself very wise, responded:

Drink whiskey and you won't get worms

 

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack at once

TODAY'S WORD

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Where did you glean today?

Ruth 2:19.

To glean is to accumulate something – small amounts over a period of time or to gather after harvest any useable parts of the crop that remain.

What have we gleaned? Will it give our spirit strength and hope and commitment or will our gleanings produce discouragement?

Jesus chose twelve unlearned men to start His revolution of love and not the learned of His day. It is Jesus we go to for true knowledge

Blessed are the meek, the gentle, the nurturers, for they will reap the earth!

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

Drinking sassafras tea will thin your blood in the spring

75 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart

Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
