Weird Thoughts to Make Your Day
One
Q. Why is a dentist like a far north adventurer on a polar expedition?
A. One goes on a polar expedition and the other expedites your molar.
Two
The invention of the shovel was ground-breaking, but the invention of the broom swept the nation!
Three
One moment you are twenty in the seventies and the next, you are seventy in the twenties!
Yes these are definitely silly groaners. I fully admit it, but sometimes a little laughing cheers up someone who has the right to be groaning.
My groans are many and my heart is faint.”(Lamentations 1:22 b, NIV)
And in the midst of that, along comes the Holy Spirit who groans on our behalf. Praise God!
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (Romans 8:26, NIV)
Rest in the knowledge that no matter what, God’s got this!
Prayer- Lord, whatever our groans today, we thank you that you hear us. Amen.

Never Too Late For Thanks
EVERYDAY CHRISTIAN
|
Yes it is the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and we thrive on that long weekend we enjoy here. We concentrate on our three days off as though it were the end-all and be-all of life. Sometimes we fill it with family, but ofttimes folks make that one last trip up a crowded highway to the cottage. Does a day off make us pay more attention to a holiday? I don’t think so. To many, it is just another day to get away from work. Here are some thoughts on God’s idea of Thanksgiving.

You? Sleeping Beauty
|
Sleeping Beauty slept undisturbed for years and all you want to do is get one good night’s rest! Do you ever envy her? Are you plagued with insomnia, a snoring partner, or a sleep apnea problem? What about leg cramps or restless leg syndrome? Do you have nightmares or maybe even walk in your sleep?
God says he gives us sleep; so how do we get it? A few simple things include going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. That means no sleeping in, even on weekends, and no napping during the day. Avoid screen time before bed—no not the window netting but all those electronic gadgets we are addicted to. Exercise early in the day. Avoid caffeine and don’t drink too much liquid. Your mother was right when she limited your milk intake by 8 pm! Some people need a light snack; others find that causes indigestion. Do what works for you.

Measuring Up

In Acts 13:13, John Mark left the group for some reason.
Thank God for folks and God who both give second chances. |
How do You Know?
|
When I deliver a message and no one responds to the Gospel, I feel quite let down. My friend sent me this letter in response to my woes. Not everybody shares what is going on in their mind after a meeting – you don’t know this side of heaven. |

Can you guess What this is?
‘The white man wore a woman’s skirt made of funny colors. He grew whiskers out of his belt and carried a black swan with lots of legs and ribbons on it. He held the swan upside down, put the swan’s head in his mouth and bit hard. He also pinched its neck and squeezed its body until it screeched. (Unknown)
celebrate life
I was delighted to get the call with my friend’s chipper voice on the other end of the line. She didn’t even say hello. She just cried out, “It’s time for cheesecake!” And my answer was quick and to the point. “Time and place please!”
It started years ago over lunch. We’d shared a nice sandwich and we weren’t truly hungry, but as women often do, we discussed the possibility of dessert. Then she began to tell me the story of her breast cancer scare.
“That does it,” I exclaimed. “It’s time for cheesecake!” I rushed to the counter and brought back two large pieces. (People should never share a slice of cheesecake; but enjoy a full slice each!) Her story ended well, but still, every now and again, we eat cheesecake together.
What do you do to celebrate life?
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10, NIV)
I am convinced that Jesus loves cheesecake.
Prayer- Thanks, God, for special treats that celebrate your goodness. Amen
