The Fair



The Fair

a little humor



 
 
Gourds and pumpkins, apples too;
A fall  festivity.
Corn and stalks, hay bale blocks;
Displays of artistry.
 
All around are fairground sounds;
And everywhere you go.
There are people wandering;
Enjoying rides and shows.
 
Venders treats and meats galore;
 They're smells are in the air.
Not to mention cows and sheep;
You'll find the barnyard there.
 
Aunt Betty's blue ribbon pie;
It won again this year.
Children from the 4H group;
Are running here and there.
 
Pens and pencils, paper pads;
mints and fingernail files.
Commercial  booths,  handouts;
It seems they go for miles.
 
Gifts and gadgets are for sale;
But some things are for free.
Just  like the spinal screening;
That was offered to me.
 
Politicians shake your hand;
And give a pleasant grin.
Then you get a plastic bag;
To put your free stuff in.
 
High above the ground you see;
The giant ferris wheel .
And hear screaming from  the rides;
That give your heart a thrill.
 
Cotton candy is the best;
But I've had to say no.
Though I really love it;
I just don't need to grow.
 
When I was a little girl;
Around seven or so.
I was given a small book;
A yellow smile aglow.
 
Though it was a little thing;
A seed was planted here.
I remember to this day;
That someone really cared.
 
You get tired at the fair;
Exhausted from the fun.
But you have fond memories;
When all is said and done.

It's been a while since I've ridden any rides at the fair.  The majority of my time is giving out the gospel message along with my family. But one of theses days I'll go just for the rides and the
car derby. 
 
There is so much I could say about the fair.  I can say, the most exciting thing about the fair is when I get to witness to others about Jesus.  When you see the light come on in their eyes.  When they understand for the first time how much Jesus really does love them.  That's the best time ever.  Because your heart rejoices.
 
Question:
Someone told me the smile book  has been around for fifty years or so.  I just assumed they were right.
Does anyone know for sure how long Amazing Grace Missions has been giving out those little books?

The Prodigal Son Retold





THE PRODIGAL SON RETOLD

Feeling footloose, fancy-free and frisky, this feather-brained fellow finagled his fond father into forking over his fortune. Forthwith, he fled for foreign fields and frittered his farthings feasting fabulously with fair-weathered friends.

Finally, facing famine, and fleeced by his fellows in folly, he found himself a feed flinger in a filthy farmlot. He fain would have filled his frame with foraged food from the fodder fragments.

"Fooey! My father's flunkies fare far fancier" the frazzled fugitive fumed feverishly, frankly facing fact.

Frustrated from failure and filled with forebodings, he fled for his family. Falling at his father's feet, he floundered forlornly. "Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited further family favors."

But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching, frantically flagged his flunkies to set forth the finest fatling and fix a feast.

The fugitive's fault-finding frater, faithfully farming his father's fields for free, frowned at this fickle forgiveness of formal falderal. His fury flashed, but fussing was futile.

His foresighted father figured, "Such filial fidelity is fine, but what forbids fervent festivities? The fugitive is found! Unfurl the flags! With fanfare flaring, let fun, frolic and frivolity flow freely, former failures forgotten and folly forsaken. Forgiveness forms a firm foundation for future fortitude."

"It's So Hot That..." | HUMOR - Inspirational and Christian

"It's So Hot That..." | HUMOR - Inspirational and Christian






It's So Hot That...
Here in Arizona we've had something of a heat wave and a drought going since back in March. Several people have joked about July arriving in the Month of May this year. We've broken high temps on two days this week.

It's so hot that...

  1. ...the radiator on your car is boiling over and you haven't even started the engine yet.
  2. ...the birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.
  3. ...farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
  4. ...the cows are giving evaporated milk.
  5. ...you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
  6. ...the temperature drops below 100, you enjoy the cool spell.
  7. ...you discover that it takes only 2 fingers to drive a car.
  8. ...you discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window tinting.
  9. ...you notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
  10. ...hot water now comes out of both taps.
  11. ...it's noon, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out in the street.
  12. ...you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. to head for work.
  13. ...the local bakery hasn't had to turn on their ovens for a week.
  14. ...You can cook breakfast on your driveway instead of in the kitchen.
  15. ...You have no idea whey they call it "Dry Idea" Deodorant.
  16. ...You don't have to go to KFC to get Fried Chicken, just put it on the hood of your car on the way home form the supermarket.
  17. ...the temperature in your house is 105 degrees, but your H/VAC service guy says your air conditioner is functioning properly.
