GRANDKIDS ARE SUCH A BLESSING

The best part is that they are all friends. They communicate by e-mail, telephone, visits, and the most recent is the Wii. They can be in different states and still play games with their cousins, uncles, and aunties.

Scriptures vs. Cell Phones

What would happen if we treated our Scriptures like our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we spent an hour or more using it every day?
What if we used it to reeive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you say:
"Hmmmm, where are my scriptures?"
Oh, a few more things?

Unlike our cell phones:
One plan fits all
Unlimited us usuage
No roaming charges
You always have reception
You don't have to buy batteries
No weak signals
AND we don't have to worry about it being disconnected;
Our Savior already paid the price!

The best Valentine You Can Give

Marv made up a thought this morning that I thought was worth sharing:

Valentines Day Is Coming...and a SMILE is the best decoration one can have and pass on to others!

Whose Angel Are You Suppose To Be?

Not all angels are from the otherside of the veil....always remember you may never know whose angel you're suppose to be

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Though shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." We are His hands here on earth!

Let us not think of service as a burden, but think of it as the opposite...to learn what love really is. Receive real
J - putting Jesus first
O - others next
Y - and yourself

RRRRRRING......Hello

Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear...Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear.

Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear....and he swished it and he swashed it 'till it flew away!

This is what I heard on the other end of the phone tonight....yes, little Annika was singing and wanted to sing Grandma a song. Then she continued to tell me about her day, playing with Aiden, her favorite dress up clothes that had butterflies, swimming, reading and coloring in her new book, soup in the cupboard, eating green beans, etc. etc. It is so much fun to hear these cute little voices.

Earlier in the morning we called Steven to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY for his 2nd birthday. He had pancakes with a candle on it for breakfast and watched his favorite "car" movie...and would celebrate later in the day as the family returned home from school, work, sports.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,
but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
