Prayer

Why is my prayer not answered?
If my request is wrong, God says, "No".
If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow".
If I am wrong, God says, "Grow".
But if my request is right, the timing is right and
I am right, God says, "GO"!!!

Some answers are: direct....we see it and know that God has answered.
Some answers are: delayed...we have to wait.
Some answers are: disguised..we don't know he answered but he did and we don't notice until later.
Some answers are: denied...God sees the big picture and the future and knows what is best for me!

So don't forget....
The Father Does Know Best!

Let them soar into adulthood! (Family Life)

With these hands, I gently cradled this child, held him close to my heart, nursed his wounds and calmed her fears; held the books that I would read and rocked this child fast asleep. With these hands, I made his lunches and drove the car that carried her to school, snapped endless pictures, wrapped countless gifts, then did my best to assemble those gifts. Combed his hair and wiped her tear, let her know that I was near; to nurse his wounds and heal her heart when it would break. With these hands, I made mistakes, and with these hands, I prayed and prayed and prayed. These hands are feeble, these hands are worn; these hands can no longer calm the storms. These hands have done all they can do; these hands now release this child, my child, to You. For Your hands are able, Your hands are strong, Your hands alone can calm the storms. Your hands will continue to do what they are so gifted to do – to shape his life and make her new. Into Your hands receive this child, for my child I now give back to You. In the strong name of Jesus and with all my heart I pray, amen."

Honesty

Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children!

Over the past several months I have had a little "skin tag" by the corner of my left eye.It was very bothersome because I could see it sometimes as it stuck straight out! Uggg!

Anyway....my 2 year old daycare girl, Evelyn, kept wanting to pick at it and it bugged her, so last week she was trying to pull on it and said... "You're yukey!" Needless to say the next day I froze it with a ice cube for several minutes...disinfected and burned the scissors annnnd....yep! Cut it off! It bled but didn't hurt a bit! Should of did it a long time ago!

Now I'm not "yukey" anymore! :-D

Time

Do not squander time, for it is the stuff life is made of. (Benjamin Franklin)

Time cannot be bought, only invested!

Priorities are what I do, not what I say. What are we doing with our time?
Time is precious and we can't get it back.

How are we investing our time...in things that fade away or in the eternal things like, God, family, friends and all the other people around us. These are the things that are eternal!

Time: Treasure it. Invest it!
( From church by Pastor Skattum)

sanctity of Human Life

Precious from the moment of conception!!!
