42 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 We have learned so much while studying the 12 minor prophets in the Old Testament for the past several months. Even though the main thread weaving through each of these books is repentance and return to worship of God, there are many other messages for us today as well. We will study Malachi as the last of the 12 prophets on June 1. I'm grateful for the opportunity we have had to learn and grow together. On June 8 we will begin a new series called "Blessing Blockers," discovering what they are and how to avoid them. We will hold our lesson at 10:30 am in the second section of the Ballroom that day only, as we will dismiss and go to the first section of the Ballroom for our bi-yearly potluck party after the lesson. There will be a beach theme this year, and prizes will be handed out for the game winners! Ladies, if you have been wondering about "Believe…," please come and join this amazing group of Godly women who love learning more about the Word of God. We meet every Friday morning at 10:30 to 11:45 am in the Lodge Game Room. This is a non-denominational study, and any translation of the Bible is acceptable. C'mon and join us! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine "Believe…" Women's Bible Study Life Guide Bible Study Life Guide Bible Study will be taking a break for the summer.

Do you awake in the morning with a song in your heart, just because your heart is filled with joy? To answer my question, I don't believe many people wake up in the morning whistling a happy tune or singing a happy song. What does joy mean? Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. The next question is why is it so important to have joy or important to be joyful? Here is the answer. Joy, laughter, and play stimulate the release of feel-good hormones in our body. It shuts down cortisol, adrenaline, and other health deteriorating processes in the body. Our body can't heal when it's in a state of stress. Now pause and think about that. When you watch your grandchildren play, or when you walk your dog, or play sports, it's because you find pleasure in doing these things. Take a few minutes to listen to the birds sing in the morning while sitting in your back yard having your morning coffee while reading a book or just resting. Look at our beautiful blue sky, count your blessings, and be thankful because you have been given another day. Hope to see you Monday, June 4, at 9 am, in the Lodge Game Room. ~ Cookie Bonner
