Down In The Mouth? Not Me!

 I was quite amused one morning this week when the first clue in my daily crossword had the answer "Down in the mouth". I started thinking about "teeth" verses in the Bible. Repeatedly we read of distressed folk gnashing their teeth - but did you know that the early English translations say in Psalm 72 "his enemies shall bite/lick the dust"? And I discovered in Lamentations 3 "He has broken my teeth with gravel"
But here we are, with the family in Manchester and my face is on the mend I think. So here's my "lips" verse for this Sunday from Psalm 63...

    Glad to hear you are recovering and hopefully you will see your own dentist soon. We met our new dentist on Friday and as expected it is going to be painful on the bank balance. Catriona

      I am so concerned about the way our government is destroying the dental services of the NHS. The fabulous guys in Dundee were really sad that children particularly are missing out on good dentistry now that private dentists are charging so much.

    High costs of dentistry is the same here. One dentist we went to once even had a monthly payment plan you could use to affodr services from him. No thanks!
    I love your new photo - you look so happy and pretty!

    Hugs!

      Our dentist has a "spread the cost" scheme too. I may need it very soon! 😬🪥🤪

    So perfectly YOU to find a bible verse about Lips!
    I was always told that the mouth heals fast, so I hope there will be a huge improvement day by day. JanF

      The dental surgeon said the mouth has an excellent blood supply which aids healing. But it also means profuse bleeding when injured (tell me about it!!)

      Manchester is rapidly becoming one of my favourite cities too - not just because of my family there
