🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Searching for Allergy Relief?

by

The Right House Plants Will Help

Researchers found that rooms with plants have less dust and mold than rooms without any foliage. Leaves and other parts of the plants act as natural filters to catch allergens and other airborne particles. Common low-light houseplants like Chinese evergreen or the peace lily can do the job. Violets and other plants with textured leaves might be even better trappers. Avoid plants with pollen or spores.

Don’t answer the door when drama knocks. Step back, it’ll turn back down the walk. Let the moment pass, and focus on what to do to resolve the problem.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Wonder

by

Wonder

Robert William Service

For failure I was well equipped
And should have come to grief,
By atavism grimly gripped,
A fool beyond belief.
But lo! the Lord was good to me,
And with a heart to sing,
He gave me to a rare degree
The Gift of Wondering.

I could not play a stalwart part
My shoddy soul to save,
And should have gone with broken heart
A begger to the grave;
But praise to my anointed sight
As wandering I went,
I sang of living with delight
In terms of Wonderment.

Aye, starry-eyed did I rejoice
With marvel of a child,
And there were those who heard my voice
Although my words were wild:
So as I go my wistful way,
With worship let me sing,
A treasure to my farewell day
God’s Gift of Wondering.

💡 Something to Think About

If we let the doubters, naysayers, and the fearful ones, decide our day, we’d never get out of bed. Shut the window to their noise, get up, fan the fires within, and take the day on. No quit. No fear.
