*** Tidbit 1 Humor Time
Why did the storm cloud blow past New York on Thanksgiving?
It didn’t want to rain on the Macy’s Day parade.
A frog wanted to escape the coming winter by going south to the warm weather. So, the frog found two birds that were getting ready to fly south for the winter and asked if he could go with them. The birds said, “There’s no way we can fly you south with us.”
But the frog came up with a clever idea. “Why don’t we get a stick? One of you can hold one end and the other can hold the other end. I will hold on to the stick with my mouth and you two can fly me south.”
The birds thought about it and replied, “OK, we think we can do that.” So they got a stick and grabbed each end and the frog took hold with his mouth in the center of the stick and they flew off headed south.
As they were flying over a farmer’s field, the farmer looked up, saw this unusual sight, and remarked out loud, “That is the most ingenious thing I have ever seen in my life. I wonder whose idea it was.”
The frog was so flattered he said, “It was miiiiiine….” Bragging can cost you.
How did the toad die?
He croaked
Where do rabbits go out to dance?
A hip-hop club.
*** Tidbit 2 Got Mushrooms?
I use to hate mushrooms. If I had any food that had mushrooms on it or in it, I would take them out and throw them away. I hated them because they were ugly. I would take mushroom powders. I’d buy protein drinks that had mushrooms in them, but I would not eat them. One day while listening to a health segment on the news, a lady began explaining the benefits of including mushrooms into your diet. I decided to incorporate the fresh ones into my diet. When I buy them and slice them, I try not to concentrate on how they look but on their benefits.
There are many types of mushrooms, and they are all loaded with many health-boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are classified as vegetables but technically they are part of the kingdom called, fungi. You can find them in the produce section of any grocery or health food store. Don’t try to pick wild ones because you might pick the ones that are poisonous. Researchers have found a number of great reasons for adding them into your diet. Six reasons are listed below.
Mushrooms:
- Have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- May help prevent dementia, Alzheimer’s or reduce the symptoms (Lion’s mane).
- May boost your immune system against colds and the flu.
- Are rich in potassium and may help lower blood pressure.
- May help keep cholesterol levels low (Shiitake).
- Are a great low-calorie, low-fat alternative to meat.
Mushrooms can be:
- Chopped and sprinkled over your meals.
- Added into stir fry veggies, eggs, meat and other cooked foods.
- Included in soups and salads, pasta sauces.
These are only a few reasons and a few ways to include them into your diet. Do your own research and see how they may benefit you. They can be purchased fresh, dried, in certain drinks, or as powder supplements.
Remember no one food is a cure for anything. Include a rainbow of fruit and veggies into your diet.
*** Tidbit 3 Keep the Faith
Hebrews 11:13-16
All of these died in faith without having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth, 14 for people who speak in this way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; indeed, he has prepared a city for them.
The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is often referred to as the “Hall of Faith.” It tells of ordinary people who dared to believe the promises of God. The people in verse 13 waited and waited and then died. It seemed like God’s timing was off, but His timing is not our timing. He may not come when we think He should, but He is always right on time.
There have been times in my life when I didn’t agree with God’s timing. I came close to giving up. I had temper tantrums. I cried. I over shopped. I overate, but afterwards my situation was still the same. I haven’t arrived. I still sometimes want God to speed things up, but I’ve learned that His timing is perfect. He knows exactly what He’s doing.
Yes, these heroes died, but they died still believing God’s promises. They believed because they saw those promises in the distance. They believed that earth was not their home and that they had a heavenly country. They were living this life just to live again. God was pleased with them because of their faith.
As we experience the ups and downs of this life, let us take courage from these heroes in the “Hall of Faith” (especially those in verse 13). Don’t quit. Hold on. Keep the faith. God promises good things (in this land and/or after we’ve sailed to our new land) to those who please 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.
