From the Mouth of a Babe

"Daddy Man" is out in the garage having a temper fit over a day under the sink when Dash comes into the garage and approaches him...and said "Dad your not the only one having a bad day, There are lots of people all over the world having a worse day than you"...
Hubby tells me he just had to laugh. This has been a very frustrating day for hubs his head hurts from all of yesterdays dust and well he has just been a challenge to be around to be kind.
We are able to laugh about it, but I'll tell you it was wearing very thin.
It is three o.k. and after four trips to the stores (three different stores) and less than $15. we have a new R.O. lines and the facet is repaired (if hired over $400. easy).

La Tea Dah said...: My husband could totally relate to this post! I think the most frustrating job in the entire house is working on the water purifier! He's not an engineer, but I think he's redesigned (in his head) the system the RO company uses about a dozen times! I hope all is working properly and that no leaks erupt!

'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"
