Sunday Smiles

This year a little nativity set filled the last few boxes of the advent. Tomorrow the Lamb and the Baby arrive.

I awoke to this. Beloved cleaned it while I sewed and packaged all the cookies last night!

Please pray for the Head of our home ...He has entered the ...Little Dove MANIA ROOM!
He came out momentarily ,rubbing his neck...
"man I feel like yelling at some one..."
Gotta tell ya, I REALLY FEEL HEARD :) .
I told Him I just walk by because I just get so exhausted and don't want to lose my temper.
Little dove needs to have all the school supplies out of her room and have very few things to care for. I need to let go of school stuff. It is so hard to discard such valuable things. He is just not willing to go through it. I have a real hard time with Hubby just tossing things I worked so hard to provide for the kids education.
I need to stay away from the task and let him do it.

'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"
