Psalm 119: 2-3
Joyful are those who obey his laws
And search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
And they walk only in his paths.

Message on my Facebook......
A true friend doesn't care if you're broke,when your home is a mess,about your past,or if your family is filled with crazies...they love you for who you are. A true friend can go long periods of time without speaking and never question the friendship.
THANKS (((((CEEDIE)))))) FOR SHARING THIS!

BEDTIME.....

Bedtime
========
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's
lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the
freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box
levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the
table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes into the dryer, put a load of
clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose
button. She picked up the newspapers strewn on the floor,
picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the
telephone book back into the drawer. She watered the plants,
emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned, stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted
out some cash for the field trip and pulled a textbook out from
hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a
friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick
note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then creamed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and
flossed her teeth and trimmed her nails.
Hubby called, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's
dish and put the cat outside then made sure the doors were
locked. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out a
bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the
hamper and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing
homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the
next day and straightened up the shoe rack. She added three
things to her list of things to do for tomorrow.
About that time, the hubby turned off the TV and announced to no
one in particular "I'm going to bed,"
. . .and he did.

Labor day? Already?
Where did the summer go????? Wrapped up with the Day-Care,my Grandchildren and all the other blessings the Lord has sent me made the time just fly by.
The second summer without my Mom.I miss here dreadfully and still go to the phone to call her :(
My close friend Denise is battling a very agressive form of cancer and that has kept me busy as well.Helping out as needed as well as caring for her eight year old son when she's at chemo or just feels lousey.Her next treament is Tuesday.The Dr. warned her that her hair will start to fall out shortly after this treatment.She took it like a real trooper and went and bought a really funky wig....lol.....It is what it is and we have have to make the best of it.God is in control and He never makes mistakes.
My son,his wife and baby Trey are coming for Labor Day week-end.I can't wait.....what a blessing that baby is!All children are of course.....but most people take getting pregnant for granted .But when it takes so very long to concieve,test after test and no real answers as to why conception just is'nt happening when it does happen it's truly a miracle from God.A testimony of His faithful to His children As we are faithful to Him,He will be faithful to His children!
May you all have a bless ed week!.......

If I Had My Life to Live Over
==============================
I would have gone to bed when I was sick
instead of pretending the earth would go into
a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose
before it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner
even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room
and worried much less about the dirt
when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen
to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up
on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and
sprayed.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children
and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television
and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a
lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy,
I'd have cherished every moment and realized
that the wonderment growing inside me
was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously,
I would never have said, "Later.
Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's."
More "I'm sorry's"...But mostly, given another shot at life,
I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it...
live it...and never give it back.
Stop sweating the small stuff.
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more,
or who's doing what.
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have
with those who Do love us.
Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with...
and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves
mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.
Life is too short to let it pass you by.
We only have one shot at this and then it's gone.
I hope you all have a blessed day.

BLESSINGS
Blessings
He gives me beauty for ashes
The oil of joy for mourning.
He drives all my fears away
He turns my morning into dancing.
He's the apple of my eye
My soul He will keep
He always makes me smile
He watches over me as I sleep.
He gives me peace in times of trouble
He loves me unconditionally
He fills my life with greater joy
He blessed me with life abundantly.
A new way He has shown me
His love I will make known
He planted my feet on a rock to stay
He found me and called me His own!
