Jump! Jump! Jump! Frog Jumping Day is observed on May 13, 2014. Frog jumping was made famous in a short story by Mark Twain, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. There actually is a frog jumping contest in Calaveras County, California, every May. It started way back in 1893, less than thirty years after the story was published. Frog Jumping Day may not be the year's most famous holiday, but it's a day where frog loving friends of all ages can have a bit of fun and give some hopping good wishes to all of your friends and don't forget to ribbit like a frog.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
F.R.O.G.
Fully Rely On God
I for one love frogs! I love they way the sound in the summer evenings and as a kid I loved playing leap frog and Hop Scotch. There are lots of stories like the Princess and the Frog to read too. Anyway you look at it frogs are good.
F.R.O.G. is kind of a cute way to remember a good principle and I'm all for anything simple like that which can help us in our daily walk through life. He's in control and we need to learn to rely on Him and fully.
Jim Henson introduced the world to Kermit the Frog in 1955. The affable, kind, Muppet amphibian emulated Henson's spirit and led a gaggle of googly eyed crazies to come together to make the world a happier place.

Please do. Please do. Please do.
Rebbit, Rebbit, have a hopping good day!
Remember:
Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream. One didn't panic, he relaxed and drowned. The other kicked and struggled so much that the cream turned to butter and he walked out.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached over 1600 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1664. for frogs in the garden, they do a lot of good
1665. for One to rely on
1666. for hopping games, they are a lot of fun
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
Frogs have it easy, they can eat what bugs them

Frogs are cute and I too like to hear them croaking. I haven't heard them here where we live, but where we used to live I would hear them occasionally. I think it might be fun to go to that frog jumping contest one time; I'd have to see how close that is to where I live :)
Have a great day Ma!
