A Life Uncommon

Friday, November 6, 2009

Great reminder you know Steve and I were just talking about this a couple nights ago to forgo movie night and play board games so that we look eye to eye with each other and the children.
This is a good goal to set for the day.
I will try to come up with a treat or beverage to go with it.
Maybe I can have the table ready when he gets home.
Dash has a play date that Dove is not invited too. Maybe she and I could make a time of it to get it ready.

Annette said...: what a neat idea..I enjoyed your other entries about the blogger retreat, loved the pictures and the stories that went it. Hope your feeling better tonight. Amanda goes to the gym just about every other night and I have "thought" about going with her, at least this way 2 good things can happen, 1) I'll get some exercise, 2) we can spend time together, I've learned so much this pass week, and that family time is very important and good for our souls.

I LOVE you!
Love & Hugs~

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"
