TODAY'S QUOTE

There's a thread that binds all of us together, pull one end of the thread and the strain is felt all down line.

Rosamund Marshall

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Today is our family Easter celebration. Yes, I do realize that Easter is next weekend, but I always have our family get together one week early so that the babes can all go to visit their ‘other side’ of the family too. My daughter used to try and enjoy two big dinners in one day and that’s not much fun. Sooooo today we’ll be celebrating Easter.

Not everyone in my family is able to come because of either being too far away or because they have to work etc. but those of us here will have a good time and we’ll also be praying for those that can’t be here.

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

TODAY IS...ZOO LOVERS DAY

 It was about 1500 B.C. when Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt built the first zoo. Many private zoos were kept by rulers in Africa, India, and China between 1,000 and 400 B.C. - and a "school" zoo was built by the Greeks to study animal and plant life. But, modern zoos weren't deleveoped until the 1400's when European explorers came to the New World. When they took strange animals back home with them, public display zoos were born

TODAY'S SMILE

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

The two thousand member church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. The preacher was ready to start the sermon when two men, dressed in long black coats and black hats entered thru the rear of the church.

One of the two men walked to the middle of the church while the other stayed at the back of the church. They both then reached under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons. The one in the middle announced, "Everyone willing to take a bullet for Jesus stay in your seats!"

Naturally, the pews emptied, followed by the choir. The deacons ran out the door, followed by the choir director and the assistant pastor. After a few moments, there were about twenty people left sitting in the church. The preacher was holding steady in the pulpit.

The men put their weapons away and said, gently, to the preacher, "All right, pastor, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin the service."

TODAY'S WORD

Mendacious

Pronunciation: /men-DA-shus/ adj : untruthful

TODAY'S REFLECTION

They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.

Psalm 69:21

Jesus came into the world to bring living water to humankind (John 4:10). Yet he was offered vinegar for his thirst If we study how Jesus handled the tough situations, we see that he completely trusted the Father, and did not allow circumstances to defeat him..

Jesus perfectly demonstrated self-control, even when treated with the greatest contempt We can also return good for evil, each and every day

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC

If kites fly high, fair weather is coming

74 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 !!!
