“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” Revelation 1:3 (NIV)
For all of you prank-pullers out there…I found this funny list of pranks on Pinterest. Some of the pranks are not so funny; others I would love to try! Several of my college friends and I used to play lots of pranks on each other. We would have loved to have tried some of these!
“If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason” Proverbs 1:11 (ESV)
Funny Friday: Little Bunny Foo FooThat darn Little Bunny Foo Foo! All those innocent field mice and he just bopped them on their heads!
“…I am so upset and distressed, I am beside myself.” Psalm 55:2 (NET)
Our family recently adopted/rescued a new puppy. She is obviously a very good fit for me because she is a very spiritual puppy! 😉 See…even at the shelter she was ministering to other puppies.
“Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.” Acts 8:17 (ESV)
Her name is Lucy. I think our Cinders would have approved. 🙂
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn’t want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest, if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn’t notice her.
Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed. The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy’s little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?
Timmy nonchalantly replied, ‘Yeah, I know who she is”. The little girl said, “Well, who is she?” “That’s just Shirley Goodnest”, Timmy replied, “and her daughter Marcy”. “Shirley Goodnest? Who is she and why is she following us?” “Well”, Timmy explained, “every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, ‘cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, ‘Shirley Goodnest and Marcy’ shall follow me all the days of my life’, so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it”!
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalm 23:6 (AKJV)
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy follow YOU all the days of your life too! Happy Friday!
Many of you may have seen this awesome Dover Police dashcam video that recently went viral. (Click here for an alternative link to view the video.) This officer knows how to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake…shake it off, shake it off! I thought this was a fitting Funny Friday post this week to accompany our Shake That Dirt Off Your Sandal post–who knew Jesus, Jay-Z and Taylor Swift had such wisdom in common. 🙂
