Autumn Swap

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Christine over at "Are we there yet Mom" held an Autumn Swap
My good fortune was to receive from Kailani at "Island life" a wonderful assortment of All Natural Dry roasted Macadamias Nuts with Sea Salt, and Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts too. Yummy!!!!!
The Prettiest Stationary note cards with Plumeria flowers on them and Plumeria bath crystals. Time for a little luxury :)
The sweetest thing is a Calender of Beautiful Native flowers. I need a new calender (just yesterday I was contemplating ordering one) and this one is soooo...beautiful. Every month has the most amazing photographs of flowers that look like they grow in paradise.
Thank you Kailani for a taste of your home Land.
The kids loved the chocolate covered nuts (me too), they are a treat. Yummy

and thank you Christine for the Wonderful Autumn Swap.

By Maya Angelou

'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"
