2 Corinthians chapter 4 "So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day." We love our young lives when all we think about is our future and what we will do, who we will marry, where we will go and if we are smart- where we will praise God for all we have. As we get older all those previous things become further back on the list and our connection with God becomes more in the forefront. By the grace of God, usually, for a lot of us, our faith grows deeper and more meaningful to us. So, we do not lose heart, whether our lives have been full, happy, bounteous, and healthy we have reached that time when our future is more about God - serving, praising and loving our Savior. And, it is ok, as a matter of fact it is perfect.
On this day
2015 This was the day before we left for Scotland. Mom was secure in Beechwood Senior living. Andy was coming down to sit with the cat for the week. Nicole and I picked up Olga's and took them to Mom's to have lunch with her. I finished up packing and cleaning while Nicole and Craig went to the baseball game. We were all set for a great 9 days. Pam, Don, Nicole and I, what a great trip!! It was my birthday gift to Nicole for her 30th birthday.
1866 - The National Labor Union in the U.S. advocated an eight-hour workday. We should thank them.
Australia
Fruit[edit]
There are many species of Australian native fruits, such as Quandong (native peach), Wattleseed, Muntries / Munthari berry, Illawarra plums, Riberry, Native Raspberries and Lilli pillies.[30] These usually fall under the category of "bush tucker", (bush foods), which are used more commonly in restaurants and used in commercial preserves and pickles but are not generally well known to Australians due to low availability.
Australia also has large fruit growing regions in most states for tropical fruits in the north, stone fruits and temperate fruits in the south which has a mediterranean or temperate climate. The Granny Smith variety of apples first originated in Sydney, Australia in 1868.[31] Another well-known Australian apple variety is the Cripps Pink, known locally and internationally as "Pink Lady" apples, which was first cultivated in 1973.
Fruits cultivated and consumed in Australia include: apples, banana, kiwi fruit, oranges and other citrus, mangoes (seasonally), mandarin, stonefruit, avocado, watermelons, rockmelons, lychees, pears, nectarines, plums, apricots, grapes, melons, papaya (also called pawpaw), pineapple, passionfruit and berries (strawberries, raspberries etc.).[32] Good choices!!!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy birthday to Lana and Rebekah C!!
