Kids say the Kutest things ! Part ll

Kids say the " KUTEST " things : Part ll

A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

While we try to teach our children all about life,Our children teach us what life is all about.

Pink Saturday

Today is Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly, her link is on my sidebar, drop by to see other great pink posts ! Thanks so much to Beverly, for being such a gracious,sweet host !

Ribbons have been used to express solidarity on the part of the wearer with the identified cause since the early to late 20th Century. Pink Ribbons are used to express support for women (and men) who are diagnosed with breast cancer.

My pink post today is in memory of my precious mother, who lost her battle to breast cancer 3 yrs ago last month. I miss her dearly.It is also in honor of my dear Aunt Sue in IL who is now fighting this ugly disease, she was just recently diagnosed.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, after nonmelanoma skin cancer. Over the past 50 years, the number of women diagnosed with the disease has increased each year. Today, approximately 1 in almost every 8 women (13.4%) will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer -- and is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 35 to 54. To all precious ladies fighting this battle, I pray for a cure.

What a wonderful God we have...who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us. 2 Cor. 1:3-4

Kids say the "Kutest" things !

Kids say the "Kutest" things !

"My dad is the boss. . .until Grandma comes over. Then he’s just one of us."

A little child in church for the first time watched as the ushers passed the offering plates. When they neared the pew where he sat, the youngster piped up so that everyone could hear: "Don't pay for me Daddy, I'm under five."

A little boy was in preschool and one of the students became ill with chicken pox, the teacher asked if anyone else had ever had chicken pox. He raised his hand and said, "No, but I've had Cocoa Pops."

Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.
Pamela Glenconner

"Assuredly, I say to you,whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." Mark 10:15

Have a very blessed Monday !

After learning about the "blogging world", through my precious cousin Diane. I decided to have a go at it myself. I have found it to be very inspirational, , peaceful, and fun ! I love reading all that has to be said about the everyday lives of all you amazing ladies out there !

So I try each day, sometimes I miss a day here and there, to go into some of my favorite blogs to read and relax and be blessed. I look forward to logging onto my account to visit some of my very favorite places. I laugh, I cry and rejoice with you. I just wanted each of you to know how very special you are, thanks for sharing your faith, families, ideas, tips, recipes and lives with me, you are true blessings to me !

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:11-12).

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15

Please pray for :

Diane, our cousin @ http://auntdisexperimentallife.blogspot.com/ , as

she learns Gods will for her without her precious Terry.

Deena @ http://deenasstory.blogspot.com/ as she fights an ugly battle

with breast cancer.

Allyson, my nephews wife, the Dr. says she has either lime disease or

meningitis, they are doing more testing.

Ryan @http://patientinaffliction.blogspot.com/ as he begins chemo.

My family, Josh as he continues on his job hunt , he has a degree in wildlife biology and jobs are so few as everyone knows at this time. Matthew as he deals with soon becoming a teenager. Summer camp will begin soon and it brings much joy but also stress as we want everything to go wonderful for the children.

My sisterinlaw Susan and niece Jessica both expecting babies, we are so excited !

I continue to keep you in my prayers, May God bless you all, have a great weekend.

I hope to post some pictures of the camp soon, it is so beautiful, God is so good.

Ps 18:2 The Lord is my rock,and my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
