Sunday, 25th, The Fruit. “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him, will bear much fruit..” John 15:5
In the fairy tale, “The Sleeping Beauty”, the heroine is saved from seemingly endless sleep by a kiss from the handsome prince, who whisks her away to his palace where they live happily ever after. This same idea is portrayed in “Snow White” and in countless other stories. Even in our modern times, many films and novels continue to follow a similar plot concept.The majority of us grow up believing the false information given to us by television, radio, film and the printed word that something or someone can rescue us from our mundane lives and turn us into all that we want to be. Even our parents give us the impression that the right person will make everything just fine. Young women dress up like fairy princesses in white lacy dresses on their wedding day, propagating this myth even further.
National Social Security Month is celebrated in April and is dedicated to educating you about Social Security programs and services. From programs that help support you through life’s journey, to services that help put you in control, to systems that help protect what’s important to you, Social Security is committed to helping secure today and tomorrow for you and your family.
During National Social Security Month, we encourage people to take control of their future with my Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Create a my Social Security account to check your earnings history, confirm you have enough credits to retire, see an estimate of future benefits while still working, or manage your monthly benefits once you begin receiving them. You can also check the status of your claim or appeal, request a replacement Social Security card, and get an instant benefit verification letter. Continue reading
