Tip of the Day 7/12/12

99 Days of Summer:  It has been so dry in most of the country that your car is probably covered with a nice layer of dust. Today would be a great time to enjoy washing your vehicles. Get the hose and some buckets, everyone put on their bathing suits and get cool while accomplishing a needed task. Your car and the kids will thank you.

 Word for Today, Companion: As Richard and I are about to celebrate of 32nd wedding anniversary I was reminded of weddings he has performed over the years. One has always stood out to me as really special. It was a ceremony he did with a Spanish Pastor named Ricardo. One of the parts of the ceremony included a beautiful hand beaded lasso that was placed around the bride and groom. It was two loops that held the bride and groom together and the pastors explained to them the concept of holding each other up or causing the other to stumble. It was a beautiful picture of what marriage could and should be. This is a concept that should be a part of all of our relationships. Do we support those around us, or do we cause them to stumble and sometimes fall because of our actions? "Two are better than one... For if they fall, one will lift up his companion." "Let us not put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way."
