One of these days you'll explode

And shout to all the kids,

"Why don't you just grow up and act your age!"

Or, "You guys get outside and find something to do-

Without hurting each other

And don't slam the door!"

And they don't.

You'll straighten their bedrooms

Until it's all neat and tidy,

Toys displayed on the shelf,

Hangers in the closet,........

Wet Oatmeal Kisses

Thank you for that flat tire on the highway yesterday. The weather was so humid, traffic zoomed by and it took me nearly three hours to change the tire by myself. Thank you, for the delay that kept me from the fatal accident that would have been in my path.

Thank you for my forgetfulness last week when I forgot my purse and had to go all the way home to retrieve I before stopping at my regular gas station, thank you so much for keeping me safe from the robbery that killed the clerk and four customers. Thank you Lord for those terrible headaches, the ones.........

Wednesday May 6

An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating picture of God's wings. After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree.

Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them,........

This is my prayer for you today …

I pray for you today a day of ordinary miracles.

A fresh pot of coffee you didn’t make yourself,

an unexpected phone call from an old friend.

I pray for you today green stop lights on your way to work or wherever you’re going.I pray for you today the little things to rejoice in, the fastest line at the grocery store or a good sing-a-long song that you’ll here on the radio today. Your keys right where you looked for them. I pray for you a day of happiness and perfection. Little bite size pieces of perfection that lets you know that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you tightly because ........

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?" The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side of which came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know...........

Thanks for visiting!

And have a great and blessed day!

The old man awoke just before sunrise, as he often did, to walk by the ocean's edge and greet the new day. As he moved through the morning dawn, he focused on a faint, far away motion.

He saw a youth, bending and reaching and flailing arms, dancing on the beach, no doubt in celebration of the perfect day soon to begin. As he approached, he realized that the youth was not dancing to the bay, but rather bending to sift through the debris left by the night's tide, stopping now and then to pick up starfish and then standing, to heave it back into the sea. He asked the youth the purpose of the effort. "The tide has...........

Angels In The Classroom

A pastor read a letter from an elementary school teacher who attends East Hill Church.

The gist of the letter was as follows: Last school year, her classroom was made up of little third graders, everyone of which came from either a single parent uncared for, lived in an abusive home, and was either beaten, bruised, or raped by other family members; one little girl's dad died of aids, and the list goes on. Her heart bled for these kids. Before the '99-2000 school year started, she and her husband went to her classroom and prayed over each desk in the room. They............

Repeat after me: God has kept me here for a reason. I survived because He has a plan for me. All my bad relationships, the addictions, the consequences, the bad credit, the repossessions, the death of my loved ones, the back stabbing from my friends, the negative thoughts, or the lack of support; I made it because I am blessed! I release and let go of all past hurts, misunderstandings and grudges because I am abundantly blessed! I recognize them as the illusions they are, and sent from the enemy to kill my spirit, steal my joy, and destroy my faith; For God is all there is....…...

God Has Kept Me Here For A Reason

Have you ever felt the urge to pray for someone and then just put it on a list and said, "I'll pray for them later?" Or has anyone ever called you and said, "I need you to pray for me, I have this need?" Read the following story that was sent to me and may it change the way that you may think about prayer and also the way you pray. You will be blessed by this one. A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church in Michigan... While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, every two weeks I traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point. ..........

Grandma's Apron

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath. Because she only had a few, it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less material, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms.............
