August 3: National Watermelon Day

I hope you like seed spitting contests, because August 3 is National Watermelon Day. Actually, I’ve always been horrible at seed spitting, but that’s never stopped me from trying!

Watermelons are perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot summer day, so go ahead and run to your local grocery store or farmers’ market and pick out a good one. You can enjoy it with a picnic dinner, for an afternoon snack, or even take it to work with you. Just make sure to wish your coworkers a happy National Watermelon Day!

“They will feed beside the roads
and find pasture on every barren hill.
They will neither hunger nor thirst,
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them
and lead them beside springs of water.”

Isaiah 49:9b-10
