Word for the day

Good Morning!
This is a big day here. I have the open house tomorrow. Thanks to my dear Michelle over at "Life in the midst of writing" . She called last night and the kids will be enjoying time with their playmates today. We home schooled together (she still is) so the kids don't get to spend much time together.
I will be taking them over there soon and then coming back to work on the house for tomorrow.
I was laying in bed this morning (I slept in an hour :) and praying I heard the word for the day "the 5th commandment"
I looked it up and here it is in a few different translations. Dash remembered what it was.
We all want to see it "go well for us and for our children"
Well I gotta to get on the road with my kids.
I hope you enjoy your morning.
The zoo trip was wonderful I'll post when I can about it. Truly a precious time.
Be Embraced!

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"
