It’s free to smile. You pay nothing. – anonymous

Mrs. Smartt was fumbling in her purse for her offering when a large television remote fell out and clattered into the aisle.

The curious usher bent over to retrieve it for her and whispered, “Do you always carry your TV remote to church?”

“No,” she replied, “but my husband refused to come with me this morning, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.”

Because he was picking his nose.

What’s it like to have the greatest daughter in the world?
Daughter: “Mom, what’s it like to have the greatest daughter in the world?”
Mom: “I don’t know ask your grandmother.”

Why didn’t the elephant buy a suitcase for his summer camp?
Because he already had a trunk!

*** Tidbit 2  Jesus loves you and me.

Parents love their kids, at least they’re supposed to. No matter what kind of adult that child turns out to be, a parent will still love him or her. Jesus loves us. There is absolutely nothing you or I can do to stop Him from loving us. He doesn’t love sin, but He loves the sinner. He wants to have a personal relationship with each of us. His desire is that we spend eternity with Him.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?  If you wait, it could be too late. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting live (John 3:16).

If you have already accepted Him, He wants you to get to know Him even better.

No matter how bad life gets, I have the promise that Jesus loves me, and all things are working together for my good. If you’re a born-again believer, you can say the same thing.

*** Tidbit 3   Flatulence

No matter what name you give it (passing gas, farting, breaking wind, cut the cheese or pooting) we all do it. It’s a natural product of digestion. Flatulence means that you have excessive gas in the stomach or intestine. As you digest food, your digestive system will cause intestinal gas, otherwise known as flatus.

Flatulence can result from being sedentary, swallowing air while chewing or having trouble digesting carbohydrates. There are certain foods in particular that cause gas, such as beans, high-fiber fruits and vegetables, protein shakes, sauerkraut, lentils, artificial sweeteners, and carbonated beverages. When the digestive system isn’t able to fully digest food, it will turn it into gas to escape the body.

Here are 6 tips that may help relieve flatulence and let you continue eating foods that are also good for you.

  1. Soak beans in water for at least twelve hours. Cooking them will help reduce their gas-producing properties.  Throw away the water that you soaked them in. Rinse them thoroughly and cook them thoroughly until they are completely tender.
  2. Nutritional seeds: flax, chia and/or fennel seeds. Be aware that flax seeds can cause constipation if you don’t drink enough water.
  3. Digestive Enzyme supplements help break down the food in your digestive tract especially foods that are hard to break down such as foods that high in fiber or fats.
  4. Ginger added to your dinner or smoothies may help reduce the amount of gas that is produced in your stomach.
  5. Baking soda and lemon may be fast and instant. Squeeze one lemon into a glass of water and then add a teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well and drink once the fizz has died down.
  6. Apple cider vinegar is a natural remedy for bloating, but it may also help stop gas fast. Add a teaspoon of ACV to a cup of hot boiling water and drink it slowly.

Heart-Warming Tidbits

Heart-Warming Tidbits: **Your body doesn’t know the difference between real & fake laughter. Right now – just laugh! **Who will remember you 100 years from now? Only Jesus Christ. **Reflexology does a body & mind good: Foot Massage & Roller Balls. YESSS!

Tidbit 1   Humor Time

A funeral service is being held in a church for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pallbearers carrying the casket accidentally bump into a wall jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive. She lives for 10 more years and then dies. A ceremony is again held at the same church and at the end the pallbearers are again carrying the casket out. As they are walking, the husband calls out, “Watch out for the wall!”

Did you hear about the man that got hit hard in the head with a can of Mountain Dew? Don’t worry. He’s alright. It was a soft drink.

Daddy reads some bedtime stories to make little Johnny fall asleep.  Half an hour later mommy opens the door quietly and asks: “And, is he asleep?”
Little Johnny answers, “Yes, finally.”

Tidbit 2  Only What You Do For Christ Will Last

How long do you think you’ll be remembered?  You may be remembered for a generation or three, for a few heroic things, but after that, it’s not likely that anybody will give a thought about you (unless you’re written about in a history book). Jesus Christ is the one and only person that will think about you far past your lifetime-once you have accepted Him as your Savior.  He will remember when you encouraged that person.  He will remember when you brightened someone’s day by giving them a compliment.  He’ll remember how you witnessed for Him.  He’ll remember that you were obedient to His word.

He’ll remember the things you did for Him. Just make sure you do what He directs you to do and not what you want to do. In other words did He direct you to build that cathedral or did you direct you to build that cathedral? Only what you do for Him is going to last.

Tidbit 3 Reflexology

How are you doing with managing your stress?  It is said that a large percentage of disease is stress related. We know that massage can help manage stress.  Did you know that reflexology can also help you manage stress and provide other benefits as well?

Reflexology is a therapeutic form of foot massage and of course, hand reflexology is a therapeutic form of hand massage. Reflexology is based on the belief that each part of each foot is a mirror site for a part of the body.  For example, the low back and intestines are towards the heel.  The heart and chest are around the ball of the foot, & so on.

I like to use a roller ball to massage my feet.  As you can see, I have several.  I love using them, especially this yellow porcupine ball.  It is said that using a roller ball for 10 min. every day, can relieve some tension, increase energy levels and enhance feelings of well-being. I want to share 6 benefits of foot massage with you.

A foot massage may:

  1. Improve circulation.
  2. Help lower blood pressure.
  3. Support sleep.
  4. Prevent injury by improving the mobility of your feet.
  5. Reduce the effects of depression and anxiety.
  6. Provide pain relief, not only for your feet. 

Here’s my testimony #1: One time I had a pain in my neck.  The pain was there for more than a week.  I took aspirin, used a heating pad, but neither of them worked.  The Holy Spirit brought to my attention, my porcupine massage ball.  I began to roll one foot and then the other over the ball and immediately the pain began to ease.  I did it the next day and the day after, then the pain in my neck was totally gone.  Hallelujah!

Testimony #2: I had a pain in my chest. The pain would come and go. Once again the Lord reminded me of the massage ball.  He told me to use it for a certain amount of days.  I followed His prescription and the pain went away. 

God has all kinds of ways to help us, if we let Him.  You don’t have to have a massage ball to reap the benefits of foot massage.  You can use your hands to massage them.  You can roll each foot over a golf ball, tennis ball, or a rolling pin.  I’m not getting paid to endorse these products.  I just want to share how I have benefited from using them.  To God be the glory!

If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, now is the time to get to know Him even better.  If you don’t know Him, accepting Him as your Savior will be the wisest decision you will ever make.
