Please pray for me. I am feeling very low and deprerssed, my caregiving job is causing it.; May 4, 2009 at 8:05 AM
Denise said...: Beautiful list and it tells a lot about you...... I am a Navel Orange person and eat them all the time... I hate hair spray and just will not use it! You have to keep a Pecan Pie out of my reach or you will NOT get a bit of it! AND Gardening is such a wonderful thing to take your mind off of all the stressors in life..... A great hobby!

Great list girl..... Not sure how I missed this post........; May 4, 2009 at 8:23 PM
A happy heart at home said...: I enjoyed reading your list. I like pecan pie, Merrels (I have two pair, and they feel great!), I don't use hair spray, and I'd love some satin and lace panties - maybe when I lose some weight and get rid of the granny panties LOL!

'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"
