Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is World Food Day which celebrates the launch of the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. The main principle which World Food Day celebrates is the furtherance of food security all over the world, especially in times of crisis. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization has played a huge role in taking this worthy goal forward. Its annual celebration serves to raise awareness of the crucial need for successful agriculture policies to be implemented by governments across the world to ensure there is ample food available for everyone.

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

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a much merrier world. 

J.R.R.Tolkien

Food is one thing everyone has in common.  We all need to eat and eating a well balanced diet is important to good health.  Thankfully most of us don’t have to worry about having enough of the right things to eat, but there are those that don’t.

Our weather has warmed up here for a few days.  Another weather front has blown some warm winds out way along with some possible rain today.  

Since Saturday was such a busy day here, today is definitely going to be a day of rest here at my house.  Hopefully I’ll be off to church and then home to relax the rest of the day.  I’d like to say THANK YOU to everyone that helped.  I couldn’t have got so much done by myself.

I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Gratitude takes three forms: a feeling in the heart, an expression in words, and a giving in return.

John Wanamaker

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

4318. for a day to relax, I need it

4319. for food, I have plenty to spare

4320. for family and friends that help so much

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
