TODAY IS…SMILE POWER DAY

Just in case you've ever doubted the power of smiling... It takes twice as many muscles to frown as it does to smile. Smiling is the most recognized form of beauty, friendship, acceptance. and goodwill. A smile can lower the blood pressure of everyone who sees it. And smiling can even lengthen your life. That's a lot of payback for something that's so easy to do - and free!

TODAY’S SMILE

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair.

and wished I was as fair.

When suddenly she rose to leave,

I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and wore a crutch.

But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.

The lad who sold it had such charm.

I talked with him, he seemed so glad.

If I were late, it'd do no harm.

And as I left, he said to me,

I thank you, you've been so kind.

It's nice to talk with folks like you.

You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,

I saw a child with eyes of blue.

He stood and watched the others play.

He did not know what to do.

I stopped a moment and then I said,

Why don't you join the others, dear?"

He looked ahead without a word.

And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.

With eyes to see the sunset's glow.

With ears to hear what I'd know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

Give your best to the world, And the best will come back to you.

Sorrow looks back,

worry looks around,

Faith looks up.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.

Proverbs 3:25-26

The Psalmist reminds us of how fortunate we are to have the Lord in our lives. Instead of panicking, we can take time to pray and look to God for guidance. He will give us the courage and stamina to keep going.

On the wings of prayer

Our burdens take flight—

Our load of care

Becomes bearably light.

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

Marrying for love is risky, but God smiles on it.

Today is the Full Buck Moon

Some Native American tribes referred to July’s full moon as the Full Buck Moon, indicating the time when the bucks began growing new antlers.

This full Moon was also known as the Full Thunder Moon, because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month.
