SCRABBLE

Today, April 13th is ... 

~ NATIONAL SCRABBLE DAY ~

I am not a competitive person, but in everything I definitely strive for my personal best. So for me, playing Scrabble is wonderful regardless of who wins! I am just thrilled with words and formations!!🤔💕

NATIONAL SCRABBLE DAY HISTORY

National Scrabble Day commemorates the birth of American, Alfred Mosher Butts, born on April 13, 1899. 

Scrabble is sold in 121 countries with 29 different language versions.

Each year on National Scrabble Day April 13th recognizes a game played around the world. 

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. 

Alfred, an amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of The Depression. 

Finally, in 1948, with a final name change, some redesign and a trademark Butts finally began to produce the game.

Scrabble truly is the 'only' board game that doesn't bore me. 

Words are very enjoyable to and for me and I love learning and understanding new things by reading, writing and singing. Most importantly, in my life though, is the Word of our LORD ... 💞📖

Recently I found out that there is a version called, 'Bible Scrabble' ...

Played like normal Scrabble but every word placed on the board must be found in the version of the Bible you determine at the beginning. A concordance (online or otherwise) is a very useful tool for this game. An additional rule, if the person can name a book of the Bible the word appears in they get a bonus 10 pts. And an additional 10 pts for the verse also.

I might try look this one up.

Spring

~ Spring ~

Spring is our gentle reminder that Yahweh is still making things new. Every day! Every morning! Just makes my heart sing! I hope it does for you as well, my friends!

"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22-23

His Word is faithful and true and the seasons are just one of the myriad ways He proves this to us. One way is with the gorgeous displays of spring bulbs such as crocuses, tulips and hyacinths. No doubt some of your gardens are coming along this way.

"See! The winter is past ... Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come...". Song of Solomon 2:11-13

Those first blooms never cease to amaze me!

“The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom."

Isaiah 35:1-2a
