THE SENIOR TIMES
A publication of The Senior Network
May 2023
Golden Nuggets:
The month of May is full of hope and promise. Its very name means asking permission to do something. May I go to the park? May I pet your dog? May we go to the movies? May we get ice cream? Throughout our lives we ask for permission to fulfill numerous promises and dreams. It is not what we are able to do, but what we desire or would like to do. We ask because we believe that our lives will be better if our requests are granted.
In the Bible we find many verses that mention the word “may”. Romans 15:13 states, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Here we find a wonderful blessing and comfort to know we have a Heavenly Father who cares so much for His children that He readily answers our wants and desires according to His perfect plan.
So in this month it is our hope that many of your greatest wishes and desires MAY be granted
Humor Me….
A group of senior citizens were exchanging notes about their ailments. “My arm is so weak, I can hardly hold this coffee cup.” “Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can’t see to pour the coffee.” “I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck.” “My blood pressure pills make me dizzy.” “I guess that is the price we pay for getting old.” “Well, it’s not all bad. We should be thankful that we can still drive.”
Who’d A Thunk....
In 1885 Atlanta banned the selling of alcohol so pharmacist John Pemberton had to change his Pemberton’s French Wine Coca, which was touted as a cure for headaches and nervous disorders. Because of the ban, instead of using a wine and coca syrup extract, he used just a pure coca base mixed with carbonated water. This perfect beverage was a “brain tonic” called Coca Cola.
Remember When....
In 1967 a first-class stamp cost five cents; a dozen eggs were $.49, and a movie ticket was $1.25
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
