HAPPY THURSDAY

Yesterday morning started out very foggy, but by noon the sun was out and it warmed up nicely. It’s soooo good to be able to open up windows and doors and let some fresh air in the house. I took some pictures of everything blooming around here and put them on the journal page!

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

TODAY IS ORANGE JUICE DAY

Oranges were a popular food with Spanish settlers and native American Indians. They carried them when they traveled - and casually dropped orange seeds on the ground as they ate. This is the way so many orange trees were accidently planted across the southern part of North America. And how lucky! An 8-oz glass of orange juice provides 100% of your daily requirement for vitamin C.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

TODAY’S SMILE

Animal Trouble!

A distraught dog owner called a vet pleading for an immediate appointment. He explained that his dog had a large growth or swelling near the corner of its mouth that had appeared to grow overnight, so I told him to bring the animal over.

When the man came in with his dog, the vet examined the animal as the man stood by, anxiously waiting the vet's opinion. At last the doctor turned to him and asked, "Do you have any children?"

"Oh, good grief, is it contagious?" the man gasped.

"No," the doctor answered. "It's bubble gum."

TODAY’S WORD

be·lied, be·ly·ing. Transitive verb

1. To picture falsely; misrepresent: 2. To show to be false: Their laughter belied their ou tward grief. 3. To be counter to; contradict

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

Psalm 111:10

A good way to describe "the fear of the Lord" is to describe how a child feels toward good parents. The child loves and respects the parents and wants to please them. At the same time, that child comes to realize that obedience is a requirement, and fears the consequences of bad behavior.

God made it easy for us to know how to live by sending his only begotten Son to guide us through his life and his teaching. But when we allow our Bibles to gather dust on the shelf and try to face life's challenges by ourselves, we lack the high-quality understanding that brings peace and joy.

And we should never forget to thank him for his guidance.
