The Silent Blogger.....

Well, I am very sorry to

have been so silent!!

Life has just being going
and going at a very steady
and sometimes very fast pace.

But all that is behind me

now and I will get back to

being a good blogger

beginning Monday. I promise!!

For now a quick note for today,

in the next couple of days

I will share my pictures

from the Birthday Tea

we just had on the front porch

and then I am off for a

relaxing weekend at camp! :)

As I was reading
Proverbs 15 today,
I was taken in by verse 30.

My Living Bible reads:

"Pleasant sights and

good reports give

happiness and health."

I read the living Bible in the

morning as I am not always wide

awake and it is easy to

understand at that point

in my day. :) But once in awhile,

if a verse really stands out

to me and I really like it,

I will check it with another

translation to be sure I

have the real/full meaning.

My King James reads:

"The light of the eyes

rejoiceth the heart; and

a good report makes

the bones fat."

Well, the first does not

exactly mean the same as

"light of the eyes". I

looked up "light" in

the Strong's that is in

the back of this

Bible and the Hebrew

there means "brightness"

or "cheerfulness".

I also looked

up "fat". In the Hebrew

it means "to satisfy".

I LOVE that!!

That is telling me that

my brightness and

cheerfulness

affects my heart right

down to my bones!!

AND

That same bright cheerfulness

shining through

my eyes

can be satisfying

to other people!!

So, what a good word to

take to camp with me

this weekend

(and, well, every day:)

Be happy, be cheerful,

it is good for our health

and those around us!!

Hope you are enjoying your Summer Days!!

Be back soon with some pics....
