Snip-it from Sandy

Other Snip-its

Tip your head back as far as it will go, open your mouth, relax and try to laugh. You really just did that didn't you? It's 1:24 a.m. and as I sit here typing with Chi Chi snoring at my feet, listening to it rain, I am snickering just thinking of anybody reading this and tipping their head back! HaHa

I have two cousins that were traveling on the Parkway to Gatlinburg. They got close to a tunnel and there was the sign that said, "Remove Sunglasses", so my cousin in the passenger seat did just that! We have kidded her about that for years!

I have worked for an Orthodontist, Dr. MacAlpine for 15 years. Some patients have an incorrect jaw position. Dr. Mac will ask the patient to bite their normal bite, then slide their lower jaw forward to make their front teeth touch. As I sit there, making notes on their chart, I feel myself sliding my jaw forward almost every time! I glance over at the parent and they are doing it too! It cracks me up! It's kind of like Simon says, but no Simon! :)

I think as humans we want to do what we are told, it is a natural instinct. I think as Christians we want to do as Jesus tells us, because doing right becomes like second nature to us! Sadly, when we don't listen to our conscience or the good little angel sitting on our shoulder, we can really mess things up. We can destroy friendships, marriages, employment and more! Luckily for us, Jesus has given us all hope. Today, when you tip your head back, say Thanks be to God for his love and forgiveness!
Happy June! Sandy

If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him." Luke 17:3-4

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31
