Friday Funnies

Coming home from taking Dove to the dermatologist yesterday she pipes up..."donuts" as she waves the magic fingers over me as if to put me into a trance.
"ooo temptation" I tell her
Dash pops her on the head from the back seat with an empty water bottle

"donuts" she chants repeatedly

My mind envisions going into the store and getting some, well...I could get some other groceries too...

"donuts" chants she

"Don't temp me " say I

"Donuts...DONUTS"...she heightens her chant with fingers from both hands now in my face. All the while she is turning the radio on and off waiting for a song with inappropriate lyrics to get over. She repeated her chant over and over.

She reaches over and I kid you not!

She hits the radio button once again and out of the speaker comes...

"don't look fat in those jeans"

We laughed our fool heads off!
And No much to her chagrin we did not stop for donuts :)
I am down 13 pounds now in weight!

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"
