New every morning...

This I recall to my mind,

therefore I have hope.

The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

for His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is Thy faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:21-23

As I was finishing up a Precept Bible study on Lamentations, I ran across these verses again.  The older I get, the more I appreciate and am so thankful for the fact that God's love and compassion for me won't ever stop and won't ever fail me.  I can realize the newness of them every morning, which tells me that He is there when I wake up, eager to show me how faithful He is.  I think I need to pay more attention to Him!  

Watermelon

 Did you know that watermelon is very good for you?  Look at these facts:

46 calories per cup

20% of daily vitamin C per serving

17% of daily vitamin A per serving

potassium - helps maintain blood pressure

lycopene - helps with heart disease and some cancers

Toasted watermelon seeds provide fiber, protein and magnesium.

So, how do you pick a good watermelon at the market?

Heavier melons mean juicier slices.

Pick a melon that is symmetrical in shape.

Look for a creamy yellow spot - that means the fruit ripened on the vine before it was picked.

I'm glad that small watermelons are available now.  My honey and I have a hard time eating all of a large melon before it goes bad.
