Oh my goodness, the chemicals we would ingest! Oh my, oh my. Does it surprise you to know that these are only a few of the ingredients in a cucumber? Yes; a cucumber.

What if we lived our lives in the same way, enjoying things but never overdoing any?

Prayer – Thanks God for all the good things you offer for our enjoyment! Amen
