Football Season

Wendy was reading a newspaper, while James, her husband, was engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket to the stadium."

"Hmmm," James said, not looking up from his magazine. Teasing him, Wendy said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?" "Absolutely not," he said. "How sweet," Wendy said. "Tell me why not."

"Season's more than half over," he said.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Controlling your temper is better than being a hero who captures a city.

Proverbs 16:32

One doesn't think of a mild mannered person as being a hero or heroine, but the writer of Proverbs considers that person better than a hero. When you become known to remain calm under all circumstances, you are a blessing to everyone.

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9).

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

Before using candles, put them in the freezer; it will make them burn longer.

Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
