Evening at the park. Fall is in the air.

"Can we go tho the park.....?"
Well no, its hot.
Please, please, please.........x oh abut 50+ please. Dad worked 10 hours I had a draining day.....
Please into infinity...
Mommy fit over kids watering the clean porch and dog prints...
Mommy apology.
Daddy O.K. (although tired to the bone) who wants to go to the park?

How could I not but join my family remorseful of my ill temper. So off to the park. That was Wednesday night. We arrived to find kids that were friends at our children's school and they played with abandon!
Thursday 6:30, YES 6:30 "mom can you set a timer 6:30 we were once again off to the park last night. This time with a misquotes cloth for a quick wipe down (Dash even had a bite in his arm pit! from the night before).

Can you say no way it's too hot! Well that has been the quote for the last several weeks and even spoken about Wednesday night, but surprisingly 90* on moist grass is about a 85* pleasure. Not too bad really. We must remember our lawn chairs however for the benches under the Ramada feel more like 95+. It was nice to see all the families out and about.

'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"
