For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Today’s tip of the hat goes to NATIONAL CAREER NURSE ASSISSTANTS’ DAY. Who would take all of the classes, get a CNA certification, then use it to work long hours caring for sick and/or elderly people which usually involves a lot of physical work and for so-so wages? These amazing people – that’s who. Talk about dedication and having a loving heart – we thank you for everything you do.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
In 1967, 16 states still had laws banning interracial marriages. NATIONAL LOVING DAY remembers the court case, Loving vs. Virginia, when the Supreme Court ruled that such laws are unconstitutional. After this ruling, Mildred and Richard Loving were allowed to return to their home in Virginia, where they were allowed to remain married without having to worry about being arrested (which they had been).
For Fun
RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY DAY takes us back to our childhood, as the iconic dolls are celebrated for their simplicity, memories they have made and their popularity after all of these years.
Our Flowering Friends
June is a month for blooms and NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY fits right in. The symbol of love can be found blooming everywhere right now, and it sure does make for a pretty sight.
On Today’s Menu…
Bring on the savory with NATIONAL JERKY DAY. I gotta say, there is nothing like the aroma of drying meat to fill the home with a smoke house smell. I have been making my own jerky for a while and it really is easy, just takes some time and a dehydrator. I cut some steak up, marinade it overnight in the cure and seasoning, then dehydrate for roughly 10 hours. The results are well worth the effort – especially that first chewy bite.
Our dessert of the day will fill the home with its own delicious aroma. NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY comes to us right out of the oven, onto the cooling racks and then straight into our mouths. You have to make the crisscross pattern with the fork, of course, but nobody knows why.
