Dayton "Dirt" - December 25, 2015

Today as we celebrate the birth of Jesus along with the miracle of his ministry some 2,000 years ago, miracles are all around us today of which a few include...

▸    Water expands as it freezes so that it does not sink to the bottom of bodies of water killing fish and other wildlife.
▸    The process of photosynthesis in which green plants are able to make food from sunshine enables us to be fed.
▸    Persistent hanging fruits and nuts on trees and shrubs during winter feed the fowl of the air and other wildlife.
▸    Spiders that prey on harmful insects helps greatly guard our food supply.
▸    The by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen that we all must have to live.
▸    Some six inches of topsoil and the fact that it rains once in awhile is essential for all annual species to survive.
▸    The planting of small trees still goes on in which future generations will benefit long after the planter is gone.
▸    Pollinators such as birds, various bees, bats and even flies that through their actions place food on our tables.
▸    The miracle of flowers of every kind which even “King Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
▸    Family, true friends and good health are enough along with a few other essentials for a happy, long life.

Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!
