Nativity Scene

A man was passing through a small southern town where there was a
nativity scene on exhibit that showed great skill and talent had 
gone into creating it. One small feature bothered the man though.  
The three wise men were all wearing fireman’s helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, the man 
left.  At the “Quik Stop” at the edge of town, the man asked the 
lady behind the counter about the helmets.  She exploded into a 
rage, yelling at the man, “You damn Yankees never do read the Bible!”

The man assured the lady that he read the Bible regularly but 
simply could not recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through 
some pages and finally jabbed her finger on the passage.  
Sticking it into the man’s face she said, “See, it says right 
here, “The three wise men came from afar.””

Frankincense-Did You Know?

Frankincense-Did You KnowDid you know Frankincense is the oil of truth? Frankincense helps uncover false truths, and deceptions. It invites people to let go of lower vibrational energy, along with lies, deceptions, and negativity. Frankincense also helps support in creating a healthy attachment with one’s father, and Heavenly Father. It also reminds us we our loved, and protected.

This Arabian tree has been as famous as it has been elusive since long before the birth of Christ, when the three wise men from the East brought it as a gift to that humble stable in Bethlehem. We do not know how far the use of Frankincense goes back in time, but we do know that it scented the Egyptian Temples to honor Ra the ancient solar deity and it is said that Queen Sheba brought a great number of Frankincense trees as a special gift for King Solomon. Unfortunately those trees were destined to die as Frankincense trees only grow in a very limited geographic range and very arid conditions. Nevertheless, it’s the thought that counts and bringing all these trees was indeed a very strong sign of honor and respect. In the ancient world incense trees fueled the economy of the Arab world as oil does today.

Frankincense oil may help with aging, allergies, insect and snake bites, bronchitis, colds, diarrhea, headaches, healing, hemorrhaging, herpes, high blood prerssure, Jaundice and many other health issues. It contains sesquiterpenes, enabling it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier. Frankincense may also help a person have a better attitude, which may help strengthen the immune system.
