Vitallity returns to the young!

WOW! What a night that was. Moments before I was going to take our daughter to the ER she was able to hold down fluids. She had a 17 hour run of food poison. She is tired but eating and drinking constantly now popcycles in and staying!

We had a wonderful family weekend. On a budget we used what we had.
We had the tires rotated on our truck, when I went to get my husband there was free lunch at the tire store. Hot dogs soda and chips. We used our memebership to the Science museum and then had supper at home. We played with the kids alot.
We only used the gas money it took to drive to the city.
I thought it was so sweet to be able to watch God provide family moments.
Thinking on what we can do is a wonderful thing to see my husband bend into.

The children were home today only two more days of school and then we have a week off till summer school for my nine year old math and reading. I want ot give her a strong foundation. It will give my son a "little" boy time. He missed out on so many months of infancy so I want to set him a foundation of "its ok to be little" he regresses under stress. I also want to work on his writing and phonics. He may need surgery this summer too.

Do you know if there is an end of the year party in the boys' class?
Josh did the reading last year in summer school, and he's doing an awesome job of reading becasue of it,so it'll be really good for Becca.
Popcycles are the best when you're not feeling well.
I'll probably see you some time this week.

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
