Hey everybody. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Welcome to Fit 4 the Master’s Use – Episode 15: Upbeat Tidbits. 

Tidbit 1 –  Gotta Smile

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
** Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
** Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

As the pastor’s wife was checking on their eight-year-old son who was sick in bed, he asked to see his father, who was in his study working on an important sermon.

“He’s busy, honey, and can’t come right now,” his mother replied.
“But I REALLY REALLY want to see him,” the boy persisted.
“Sorry, but he’s tied up right now and can’t be disturbed.”
“Well then,” the boy said, “tell him I’m sick and want my pastor to visit me!”

Going Down!! – As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, “Anyone here know how to pray?” One man stepped forward. “Aye, Captain, I know how to pray.” “Good,” said the captain, “you pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets – we’re one short.”

Have you ever loved a human being or even a pet that you would do anything for; that you would even die for?

Just being honest, I’ve done some crazy things in the name of love or lust but I’ve never loved a human or a pet up to the point where I would die for them. I do have a Savior that I would be found trying to do anything that He requests of me.  I haven’t arrived. I’m a work in progress. I may respectfully question His requests.  I may not like or understand His requests and it may take me several attempts to fulfill His requests, but I’m getting better at it.

I’m getting better at it because I know that He loves me and He has my best interests at heart.  I’ve learned and am still learning to love Him more and more.  I never had a love for anybody or anything that made me want to do the things I do for Jesus.

Tidbit 3 –  Watermelon

Watermelon can be a super-healthy addition to your diet.  It contains important nutrients, including: vitamins C, B6, A, and magnesium. There are about 46 calories in a cup.  Although it’s more than 91% water and can help you stay hydrated; it is still no substitute for drinking fresh water.  Remember, like other fruits, it contains sugar.

Watermelon contains lycopene.  Lycopene is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant that gives fruits and veggies a pink or red color.  Lycopene is usually associated with tomatoes, but watermelon is a more concentrated source.

Here are 4 benefits of eating watermelon:

  1. It may help decrease your risk of having a stroke.
  2. It may help prevent heart attacks by reducing blood pressure.
  3. It contains substances similar to aspirin and ibuprofen, so it may help with pain and inflammation.
  4. It may protect against the risk of some cancers.

You can also consume watermelon rind and seeds.  The rind contains blood-building chlorophyll along with many other immune building nutrients.  The seeds contain protein, zinc, iron and fiber.

Wash that watermelon rind real well, put in a blender along with the seeds (experiment by adding some lime, the flesh of the watermelon, or another liquid) then drink and enjoy.

I am amazed by the fact that God has provided all of the wonderful tasting fruits and veggies that not only taste good, but are good for our bodies!

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.
