Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Best Before vs Expiry DatesA couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was excited about buying a couple of companies. Well, the domains for those websites finally transferred into my hands yesterday, which means the purchase is officially complete and everything is now in my control.

There's still a bit of fix-up work to do on those sites before I make the full announcement — and when I do, I'll share the links here so you can have a look. The whole process has been a lot of fun, and I'm hoping this purchase works out as well as the one I made back in January of 2024.

Today's video share is almost a public service announcement — at least for those of us who get the heebie jeebies the moment we see anything in the fridge that's past the printed date. As it turns out, "best before" doesn't actually mean "throw it out," and a lot of things on our shelves are perfectly fine to eat for a good while after that little stamp.

In a Few Moments

A close-up of the face of a man asleep in bed.So far today, Lord, I've done all right; I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent.

I am thankful for that, Lord.

In a few moments, Lord, the alarm will ring and I am going to get out of bed. From that point on, I am probably going to need your help.

Amen.

Aging Gracefully

picture of an elderlyladyThe following letter was forwarded by someone who teaches at a junior high school in Memphis, Tennessee.  It was sent to the principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. This story is a credit to all humankind. Read it, soak it in, and bask in the warm feeling that it leaves you with.


Dear Reyer School:

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizen's luncheon.

I am 84 years old and live at the county home for the aged. All my people are gone. It's nice to know that someone thinks of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady.

My roommate is 95 and always had her own radio, but would never let me listen to it, no matter how often or politely I asked. The other day her radio fell and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful. She was very upset. She then asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to buzz off.

Sincerely,

Edna Johnston

A Firm Place to Stand

A swan attempting to get itself onto some ice, but the ice is too thin.We were nearing the end of a month when the sun had barely graced us with its presence, and the days had been long, damp, and gloomy. All this, combined with a virus I couldn’t shake and other circumstances, including my sister’s sudden passing, resulted in a period of grief and unsettledness that left me feeling insecure and anxious. Restrictions on my daily walks in the great outdoors did nothing to ease my sadness. Walking and talking with Jesus while hiking by the lake, camera in hand, has always been a way for me to decompress and be with God.

Finally, the day arrived when I could bundle up and head out to breathe the crisp air and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.
