New Friendship and Mifflin Community News

Hello to all from this little corner of the world.
The temperature was down on Saturday. What wonderful weather! This next week is going to be in the 90s without much chance of rain. I hope the humidity will stay down. Many, including us, are mowing. The rain, humidity and heat made the grass grow like it was fertilized. The cotton across from us is very pretty with blooms. The birds continue to come, but this year, we have seen fewer yellow finches and only a couple of indigo bluebirds. We were out working in the yard during the nice weather, and there was an occasional breeze. I did not think it was that hot, and I do not do well in heat. Well, I started feeling odd all of a sudden and decided I needed to go in for a while. I asked James to walk with me as I was very weak. I made it into the house and turned on the ceiling fan, lay down on the bed and got a cold, wet cloth on my forehead. I also was nauseous. We think I had heat exhaustion. This is just a piece of advice in case you or someone has this problem. I lay there for probably two hours. It was that bad.
Friendship Baptist Church enjoyed another good sermon from Bro. Iran Smith this morning. The sermon was Sin of Lying from Acts 5:1-11. Stay true to a vow to God. Prayers go out to Bro. Glenn and Judy during their sick spell. We look forward to seeing you both soon. 
The descendants of John Andrew Davis will have their reunion beginning at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 27, with potluck at noon at New Friendship Community Center.
Condolences to the families of Lynn Connor, Charles Malone and others who have lost loved ones.

“You came naked, You will go naked. You arrived weak, You will leave weak. You came without money and things, You will leave without money and things. Your first bath? Someone washed you, Your last bath? Someone will wash you. This is life!!! So why so much malice, so much envy, so much hate, so much resentment and so much selfishness? BE KIND to everyone and do good deeds. We have limited time on Earth, don’t waste it in uselessness.” – unknown
I pray you all have a wonderful week and may it be filled with love, joy, peace and blessings. Remember if you have news, please email me at mimmiepots@gmail.com. I would truly appreciate any news. People from here and those who have moved from our area but still want to keep in touch through the newspaper are hungry for news from home.
Until next week, Happy Trails to You.
