ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SEPTEMBER 26TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's WEDNESDAY!  

JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY

Johnny Appleseed Day honors one of America's great legends. Johnny Appleseed was born on September 26th, 1774.  He was a real person. John Chapman was among the American settlers who were captivated by the movement west across the continent. As Johnny Appleseed travelled west, he planted apple trees along the way, and sold trees to settlers. With every apple tree that was planted, the legend grew.

Celebrate today by eating an apple. Include fresh apples for snacks, and some applesauce or apple pie for dessert. And, make plans to plant an apple tree.

Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.

NEWS FROM HOME

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. 

Proverbs 25:11

You've heard, an apple a day will keep the doctor away. While it will certainly take more than a daily apple to keep you healthy, it is a step in the right direction. Apples are delicious, easy to carry for snacking, low in calories, a natural mouth freshener, and they are still very inexpensive.

On average, Americans consume around 20 pounds of apples a year, which comes to around 1 apple a week. Unfortunately, while an apple a week is better than nothing, it is nowhere close to being able to extract all the advantages apples have to offer. Eating apples is part of balanced and healthy diet than will increase your longevity, so why limit yourself to only 1 per week?

Anyway you slice it, apples are good for you!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!
