Life is a Special Occasion!

Today, July 10th, is National Don’t Step On A Bee Day. Let’s take a moment today to think about bees and how they benefit our fragile ecosystem. We humans depend on these little buzzing pollinators for most of the fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables on this planet. Yet their populations are diminishing drastically, and without them, the food supply for humans would be devastated.
Bee careful today !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
It is not how busy you are, but why you are busy — the bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted.

While it feels good to go barefoot in the summer time, it isn’t always a wise thing to do. Running through the grass could result in a bee sting. It’s a good idea to bee careful.
Here at my house, we often see the bees buzzing around the flowers and they are busy creatures for sure. Rarely do you see one stop, they just keep flitting from flower to flower. They are hard workers and could teach us all a lot about life.
Honeybees live within their means. There are no banks, loans or credit cards in the bees' world; only the resources they themselves gather and store. Like us, bees need to eat every day, and they do everything in their power to ensure a constant food supply by storing it, not so much for themselves, but for bees yet to be born.
Honeybees achieve extraordinary things by working together. Fifty thousand workers can shift a lot of stuff. Cooperation is the key to their success.
Honeybees make honey while the sun shines. Bees are opportunists, taking advantage of available food as soon as conditions are right.
Honeybees understand that hard times happen, and they are always prepared for shortages as well as disasters.
Among all God's creatures, the honey bee is truly special, improving our environment while benefiting all mankind. It eats from what's wholesome, gives out something nutritious, and only good comes from its existence.
It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day here with temps in the upper 70’s. Hopefully it’ll be a day mixed with some sunshine and a few clouds. A great day to be out and about.
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2931. for bees, don’t step on one
2932. for honey, it’s good and good for you too
2933. for lessons to be learned from nature
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
No bees, no honey; no work, no money.

A bit of love from someone dear…

That is a cute picture with the bee coming to the flower :) Bees are so important for our lives; they do provide a lot of what flowers need, etc. I do admit now that we live in Arizona, I'm a bit afraid of the ones they call the African ones; several reports this spring and summer of attacks the bees have done on people and pets, several fatalities reported. Wise to be careful when one is out and about.

Love your thoughts on bees Pam. We try to encourage bees in our garden with all the flowers and fruit. We really need them and they are so very important to us. Thankfully we don't have killer bees from Africa here! That sounds frightening! xoxo
