HAPPY TUESDAY!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DN (nephew)#3
May the dear Lord Bless you today and always !
Back to work once again.
The good Lord gave me a nice long weekend but now I’ve got to return to reality.! It was so hot yesterday that all I wanted to wear was shorts and a light top, I suppose I should wear more than that to work, but I don’t really have to…they really don’t care what anyone wears. Very few people come in our office and most of the time I’m the only one there.
The front porch is cleaned off and I got to sit a little while in my porch swing, but then I went back in the house where it was cooler. The sudden rise in temps to the 90’s is hard to take.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way!
TODAY IS…BIKINI DAY
In 1946, Paris designer Louis Reard was ready to introduce a skimpy, two-piece swimsuit that didn't have a name. At the same time, the US began peacetime nuclear bomb testing on a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean known as the Bikini Atoll. Wanting media attention for his new design, Reard decided to use the same name. Four days after the first bomb was dropped, the first model walked down the runway wearing a bikini.

TODAY’S SMILE
A rabbi and a soap maker went for a walk together. The soap maker said, “what good is religion? Look at all the trouble and misery of the world! Still there, even after years thousands of years–of teaching about goodness and truth and peace. Still there, after all the prayers and sermons and teachings. If religion is good and true, why should this be?” The rabbi said nothing.
They continued walking until he noticed a child playing in the gutter. Then the rabbi said, “Look at that child. You say that soap makes people clean, but see the dirt on that youngster. Of what good is soap? With all the soap in the world, over all these years, the child is still filthy. I wonder how effective soap is, after all!”
The soap maker protested. “But, Rabbi, soap cannot do any good unless it is used!”
“Exactly!” replied the rabbi.

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually! Remember the wonderful works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.
Psalm 105:4, 5
Each time you pick a daffodil
Or gather violets on some hill
Or touch a leaf or see a tree,
It's all God whispering,
"This is Me."
Helen Steiner Rice
Today enjoy God's handiwork, His fingerprints, and loving touches which abound in nature.
