Connections “The Pinnacle of Senior Living”

The month of June ushers in the much-anticipated beginning of summer weather. For the farmer wanting to plant his crops or the vacationer anxious for some outdoor fun, tomorrow’s weather might mean the difference between success and failure. Perhaps this is the reason that we seem to be so preoccupied with tomorrow. Founded in 1818, the Farmers’ Almanac has been a trusted source for long-range weather predictions. Last summer, the Farmers’ Almanac was spot on with its forecast for the summer months. But long before the Almanac began predicting the weather, people made forecasts based on their observations of the sky, animals, and nature. Some of these sayings are still recited today. Have you heard the weather sayings listed below? Do you believe they are accurate? Of course we will never be 100% certain of what tomorrow will bring. Matthew 6:34 says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” The great thing about being a part of a community like Mt. Carmel is that whatever the weather, we’ll weather it together!
