Kids?
There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it.
Chinese Proverb: Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like clearing your driveway in the middle of a snowstorm.
Mothers of teens are the only ones that KNOW why animals eat their young.
I asked Mom if I was a gifted child...she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.
Children are natural mimics, who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school clothes.
The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children out there more awful than your own.
We childproofed our home 3 years ago and they're still getting in!
Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool a Mom.
I love to give homemade gifts...which one of my kids do you want?
Anyone who says 'Easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried it.
Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up!

The Little Things In Life...,
Too often we don't realize
what we have until it's gone.
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts.
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds.
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you.
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got.
And be thankful for the
Little things in life...that mean a lot.

The Faithful Few
After the usual greeting, every Sunday in his home
When the elder starts the meeting, in a small or larger room,
You are sure to see the faces, of the Christians who are true,
They are always in their places, for they are the Faithful Few.
No matter if it's hot or cold, or if it's stormy weather,
Or whether they are young or old, they're sure to meet together.
They know a world of sin and strife is what they're passing through,
And need the fellowship through life, of those the Faithful Few.
At the appointed time and place, they've come to meet with God,
They too like others run their race, then sleep beneath the sod.
They're there on time, in tune, in place, and all they say and do,
Assures us by God's help and grace, they are the Faithful Few.
They speak of Jesus' power to save, of those who've gone before,
And of the journey to the grave, of life on the other shore.
They pray that others whom they know, could see the things they view,
And then with heart and soul would go, with them the Faithful Few.
They meet, they speak, they pray, they sing, they glory in Christ's name,
By breaking bread and taking wine, His life and death proclaim.
Their hearts are fed from heaven above, their strength again renewed,
Through life they keep this trust of love, they are the Faithful Few.
And when the meeting's over, they are ready to go home,
For it's with a single motive that together they have come.
They go with prayerful hearts and minds, they purpose to be true,
So glad, so thankful and resigned, to be the Faithful Few.
Will you while yet they live, just drift, through life without a care,
Be with them in the meeting, if convenient to be there?
Or do you go elsewhere instead, have something else to do,
Then miss all that the Lord has said, through these the Faithful Few?
When they are dead and gone will you just miss them from their place,
Forgetting what you ought to do, and all their works of Grace?
Or will you fill the vacant place, with you feet in their shoes,
Appreciate God's love and grace, be of the Faithful Few?

Why
Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is a boxing ring square?
Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips?
Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?
Why is it that to stop Windows 95, you have to click on "Start"?
Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
How come we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
How come sheep don't shrink when it rains but a wool sweater does when you wash it?

A Friend..,
A friend is someone to whom you can talk
forever and still find things to say,
but who doesn't always need words to know
how you feel. I count YOU as my friend!

If We Could...
If we could plan the way of life,
There'd be no tears, no loss,
But then how should we ever learn
The meaning of the Cross?
How to learn to bear our burdens
With courage and good cheer?
No need to do a kindly deed
If all were perfect here.
If everyone had everything.
What need of sacrifice?
Would things have any value
If they did not have a price?
If troubles never came our way,
How peaceful life would be,
But then perhaps we'd never learn
To face reality.
If nothing ever interfered
With life's calm easy flow,
How should we learn to brave the storm?
How would the Spirit grow?
If all were well, what need to serve,
To love and sympathize?
The things that make us humble
Are the things that make us wise.

An Inspiration
For half a century, the world has applauded John Glenn as a heart-stirring American hero. He lifted the nation's spirits when, as one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, he was blasted alone into orbit around the Earth; the enduring affection for him is so powerful that even now people find themselves misting up at the sight of his face or the sound of his voice. But for all these years, Glenn has had a hero of his own, someone who he has seen display endless courage of a different kind: Annie Glenn.
They have been married for 68 years. He is 90; she turned 92 on Friday. This weekend there has been news coverage of the 50th anniversary of Glenn's flight into orbit. We are being reminded that, half a century down the line, he remains America 's unforgettable hero. He has never really bought that. Because the heroism he most cherishes is of a sort that is seldom cheered. It belongs to the person he has known longer than he has known anyone else in the world. John Glenn and Annie Castor first knew each other when -- literally -- they shared a playpen.
In New Concord, Ohio, his parents and hers were friends. When the families got together, their children played. John -- the future Marine fighter pilot, the future test-pilot ace, the future astronaut -- was pure gold from the start. He would end up having what it took to rise to the absolute pinnacle of American regard during the space race; imagine what it meant to be the young John Glenn in the small confines of New Concord. Three-sport varsity athlete, most admired boy in town, Mr. Everything. Annie Castor was bright, was caring, was talented, was generous of spirit. But she could talk only with the most excruciating of difficulty. It haunted her. Her stuttering was so severe that it was categorized as an "85%" disability -- 85% of the time, she could not manage to make words come out.
When she tried to recite a poem in elementary school, she was laughed at. She was not able to speak on the telephone. She could not have a regular conversation with a friend. And John Glenn loved her. Even as a boy he was wise enough to understand that people who could not see past her stutter were missing out on knowing a rare and wonderful girl.
They married on April 6, 1943. As a military wife, she found that life as she and John moved around the country could be quite hurtful. She has written: "I can remember some very painful experiences -- especially the ridicule." In department stores, she would wander unfamiliar aisles trying to find the right section, embarrassed to attempt to ask the salesclerks for help. In taxis, she would have to write requests to the driver, because she couldn't speak the destination out loud. In restaurants, she would point to the items on the menu.
A fine musician, Annie, in every community where she and John moved, would play the organ in church as a way to make new friends. She and John had two children; she has written: "Can you imagine living in the modern world and being afraid to use the telephone? 'Hello' used to be so hard for me to say. I worried that my children would be injured and need a doctor. Could I somehow find the words to get the information across on the phone?" John, as a Marine aviator, flew 59 combat missions in World War II and 90 during the Korean War. Every time he was deployed, he and Annie said goodbye the same way. His last words to her before leaving were: "I'm just going down to the corner store to get a pack of gum." And, with just the two of them there, she was able to always reply: "Don't be long."
On that February day in 1962 when the world held its breath and the Atlas rocket was about to propel him toward space, those were their words, once again. And in 1998, when, at 77, he went back to space aboard the shuttle Discovery, it was an understandably tense time for them. What if something happened to end their life together? She knew what he would say to her before boarding the shuttle. He did -- and this time he gave her a present to hold onto: A pack of gum. She carried it in a pocket next to her heart until he was safely home. Many times in her life she attempted various treatments to cure her stutter. None worked.
But in 1973, she found a doctor in Virginia who ran an intensive program she and John hoped would help her. She traveled there to enroll and to give it her best effort. The miracle she and John had always waited for at last, as miracles will do, arrived. At age 53, she was able to talk fluidly, and not in brief, anxiety-ridden, agonizing bursts. John has said that on the first day he heard her speak to him with confidence and clarity, he dropped to his knees to offer a prayer of gratitude. He has written: "I saw Annie's perseverance and strength through the years and it just made me admire her and love her even more." He has heard roaring ovations in countries around the globe for his own valor, but his awe is reserved for Annie, and what she accomplished: "I don't know if I would have had the courage." Her voice is so clear and steady now that she regularly gives public talks. If you are lucky enough to know the Glenn's, the sight and sound of them bantering and joking with each other and playfully finishing each others' sentences is something that warms you and makes you thankful just to be in the same room.
Monday will be the anniversary of the Mercury space shot, and once again people will remember, and will speak of the heroism of Glenn the astronaut.
But if you ever find yourself at an event where the Glenn's are appearing, and you want to see someone so brimming with pride and love that you may feel your own tears start to well up, wait until the moment that Annie stands to say a few words to the audience. And as she begins, take a look at her husband's eyes.

Only You
Courage is the discovery that you may not win---and trying when you know you can lose.
Honor is standing for what you believe---not for what you know.
Life isn't about living without problems. Life is about solving problems.
If you plow the field every day---the only thing that grows is resentment.
Compassion is passion with a heart.
The only thing in the whole universe people need is to control their attitudes.
How a person wins and loses is much more important than how much a person wins or loses.
If you only do what you know you can do---you never do very much.
There are no failures---just experiences and your reactions to them.
Getting what you want is not nearly as important as giving what you have.
Going on a journey with a map requires following directions---going on a journey without one requires following your heart.
Talent without humility is wasted.
It is the desire of this website to give credit to those whose work is shared.

Happiness
Happiness is like a butterfly,
the more you chase it, the more it will allude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
The place to be happy is here.
The time to be happy is now.
Laugh when you can, apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
Life is too short to be anything but happy.
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
you grow old because you stop laughing.
Money never did buy happiness,
and credit cards aren't doing much better.
The heart is happiest when it beats for others.
For every minute you are angry,
you lose 60 seconds of happiness.
Someday everything will make perfect sense.
So for now, laugh at the confusion,
smile through the tears,
and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

Thought For The Day
Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children. ~ Ancient Indian Proverb
