A Life Uncommon: Sunday Smiles

Sunday Smiles

Willy Wonka found under Dash's fort. That wonderful instinct to den. The princess sat upon her throne.

Miss Fiction entered my room this morning with a china cup and saucer filled with brewed tea. "Good Morning Momma" she chimed as she set the tray upon my lap. She smiled and they both dance happily away. What a smile to awaken too.
I hope you all find wonderful moments in your day today to SMILE. Look for the beauty in the simple pleasures. :)

A Captured Reflection said...: Thanks for popping by, was lovely having you visit. I look forward to having a good look at your blogs. I see that you like "Les Miserables", did you know that Victor Hugo wrote that story when he lived in exile on the Island of my birth - Guernsey? There is a big statue of him on the Island and his house is a famous place to visit.; September 3, 2007 at 12:37 AM

Just delightful. I love the dog in the tent. Too fun.

Also, the cartoon about the scale made me giggle. Thank you for joining in the fun. One day it may all catch on out there. I appreciate you adding a little joy to our blog community. You bless me so much. Love and hugs, Lynn; September 4, 2007 at 4:09 PM

'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"
