IT’S SATURDAY !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DDIL#6
May the dear Lord bless you today and always!

I had a really good dinner out with DD and hubby last night. Lobster, grilled shrimp on a bed of rice, baked potato with butter and sour cream and those nice cheesy biscuits and a salad. Red Lobster is having it’s Lobster Fest Dinners right now and it was delicious.

With all I ate, I shouldn’t be hungry again for a long time, but I will probably finish my good cup of coffee and go looking for something to eat. I always do.
It’s a good thing I don’t eat like that very often; I’m plump enough as it is.

Maybe my trips up and down the stairs today will help burn off some of those calories. On Saturday’s I usually make quite a few with laundry and cleaning.

I did get to see the full moon on my way into work yesterday. It was beautiful. Of course it probably wasn’t as dazzling as the day it first appeared, but still it’s really bright. Today should be warmer and hopefully sunny so I’m hoping to get outside a bit.

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

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Learn About Butterflies Day. It is fun day, because everyone likes butterflies. As we approach summer, we get outdoors and become busy with all of the activities of summer. It's far better to do a little learning in the winter, so we are prepared to better appreciate these colorful, winged creatures, as they re-appear in our backyards

Today is International Fanny Pack Day

Today is National Potato Chip Day

National Toad Hollow Week begins today, a time to encourage everyone to nourish their imaginations

Celebrate Scientists Day - On the birthday of Albert Einstein, we honor all scientists. Einstein discovered the Special Theory of Relativity he was born in 1879 in Ulm, Germany. He found that his studies of science led him closer to God, and he wrote:

The most beautiful thing that we can experience is the MYSTERIOUS.
It is the only source of true art and science. And those to whom this emotion is a stranger- those who can no longer pause in WONDER
or stand wrapt in AWE - they are already dead: their eyes are shut.

1794 - Eli Whitney patented his cotton gin, making it possible to clean 50 pounds of cotton a day, compared to a pound a day before Whitney’s invention

1912: Les Brown was born in Reinerton, Pennsylvania. His Band of Renown was a top draw in the 1940s and ‘50s. Their biggest hit was Sentimental Journey, featuring singer Doris Day

TODAY’S SMILE

Years ago, when Johnny Carson was the host of The Tonight Show, he interviewed an eight-year-old boy. The young man was asked to appear because he had rescued two friends in a coalmine outside his hometown in West Virginia.


As Johnny questioned the boy, it became apparent to him and the audience that the young man was a Christian. So Johnny asked him if he attended Sunday school. When the boy said he did Johnny inquired, "What are you learning in Sunday school?""Last week," came his reply, "our lesson was about when Jesus went to a wedding and turned water into wine."

The audience roared, but Johnny tried to keep a straight face. Then he said, "And what did you learn from that story?"The boy squirmed in his chair. It was apparent he hadn't thought about this. But then he lifted up his face and said,

If you're going to have a wedding, make sure you invite Jesus!

SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT

Pray for somebody. As you’re walking the streets, driving the highways, sitting in your cubicle at work, or going to a movie, pick out a person who appears to be in need, and pray for that person

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Let us eat and celebrate because this son of mine was dead

and has come back to life
Luke 15:23-24

Today I will pray for those who are far from the Father
