Joy In All The Heat

Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.

And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as

A bit of humor

During all the heat and humidity
we must bear.

~~~~~~

Joy today must be shared in the humor we find in life itself.  It is miserable outside.  It's been that way for weeks...I have to laugh, because  there is nothing I can do about it.  I have not control of it.  Then today a friend, Father Tim Tenbarge sent the following!  Please enjoy!

"IT'S SO HOT!!!  REALLY?.....HOW HOT IS  IT?....."

 ......the birds have to use potholders to  pull the worms out of the ground.
 .....the trees are  whistling for the dogs.
 .....the best parking place is  determined by shade instead of distance
 .....hot  water comes from both taps.
 .....you can make sun tea  instantly.
 .....you learn that a seat belt  buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
 .....the  temperature drops below 90 F and you feel a little  chilly.
 .....you discover that in July it only takes  two fingers to steer your car.
 .....you discover that you can  get sunburned through your car window.
 .....you  actually burn your hand opening the car door.
 .....you break  into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30  A.M.
.....your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I  get knocked out  and  end up lying on the pavement and cook to  death"?
 .....you realize that asphalt has a liquid  stage.
 .....the potatoes cook underground, so  all you have to do is pull one out and add  butter.
.....the cows are giving evaporated  milk.
 .....farmers are feeding their  chickenscrushed ice to keep them from laying boiled  eggs.
 IT'S SO DRY!!! HOW DRY ???
 .....that  the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling
 .....the  Methodists are using wet-wipes
 .....the Presbyterians are  giving rain checks
 ..... and the Catholics are  praying for the wine to turn back into water!
 TRY TO  KEEP COOL !!!
