Divine Sense of Humor

Today is drizzly, dreary and the type of cold that cuts to the bones. But out in force around here are the heralds of spring, bunches of bright yellow daffodils letting us know that the dismal month of February will soon pass, and that the season of rebirth is on its way.

I have recently received some email forwards that tell how certain vegetables are healing for the parts of the body they resemble. How clever! This may be a better explanation.

"A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today's investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called 'The Doctrine of Signatures' was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater."

To find more info and a list of the foods, go to this web address:


As in the case of the healing foods, sometimes we humans figure out some of God's creatively humorous side. (Why not? After all, we are created in his image.) I think happy daffodils, their trumpets clothed in bright yellow raiments, also show his divine wit - dare I hint prankish? - as they announce the upcoming season. Tada!! They are not just a mirthful late winter accident.
