Thank you Mr. Mom:) (\o/) (\o/) "A Woman" This is written in the Hebrew Talmud, the book where all of the sayings and preaching of Rabbis are conserved over time. It says: "Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved." Thank you Sherry M:) (\o/) (\o/) Keeping the Sabbath day holy is much more than just physical rest. It involves spiritual renewal and worship. . . .This need for physical, mental, and spiritual regeneration is met in large measure by faithful observance of the Sabbath day. -James E. Faust (\o/) (\o/) Native American prayer: "O Great Spirit.....whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all the world - Hear me! I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek the strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame." Thank you DoniB:) (\o/) (\o/) "Stand in the ways and see and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, then you will find rest for your souls" You see God sees the best in us. Learn to be happy with who God made you to be. Don't let other people, systems, or circumtances influence your estimation of your value. The Bible tells us that God accepts us even if everybody else in this world rejects us. God knows our value. He sees our potential. I look back to a time in my life and I had so many material things but inside I was so unhappy and so lonely. My only desire was to think what material thing I could get next. Suddenly one day God showed to me I was really missing him in my life. I am so thankful that day I humbled myself on my knees and asked him to come back into my life. That is the one of the biggest blessings I could have ever received, along with my children. I just praise God every day He gave me my children. I learned truly what it was to love, and I mean really really love someone. I thank God for letting me know that. He has been so very good to me. Thank you Kay:) (\o/) (\o/) Two Wolves One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." Thank you to my Big Sister DoniB:) (\o/) (\o/) "We are God's children, and if we ever got that through our heads thoroughly and understood that completely, we would never do a small thing, we could never say a cross word. We would not use bad language. We would not criticize anybody. We would love everyone the way the Savior loves us." -Marjorie Pay Hinckley (\o/) (\o/) Top 10 predictions for 2006 1. The Bible will still have the answers. 2. Prayer will still work. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. 5. There will still be God anointed preaching. 6. There will still be singing of praise. 7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people. 8. There will still be room at the Cross. 9. Jesus will still love you. 10. Jesus will still save the lost. And Remember...God is still on the Throne ! Thank you Roy M:) (\o/) (\o/) CRABBY OLD WOMAN When an old lady died in the geriatric ward of a small hospital near Dundee, Scotland, it was believed that she had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through her meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Ireland. The old lady's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the North Ireland Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on her simple, but eloquent, poem. And this little old Scottish lady, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this "anonymous" poem winging across the Internet: CRABBY OLD WOMAN What do you see, nurses? What do you see? What are you thinking When you're looking at me? A crabby old woman, Not very wise, Uncertain of habit, With faraway eyes? Who dribbles her food And makes no reply When you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try!" Who seems not to notice The things that you do, And forever is losing A stocking or shoe? Who, resisting or not, Lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding, The long day to fill? Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse, You're not looking at me. I'll tell you who I am As I sit here so still, As I do at your bidding, As I eat at your will. I'm a small child of ten With a father and mother, Brothers and sisters, Who love one another. A young girl of sixteen With wings on her feet Dreaming that soon now A lover she'll meet. A bride soon at twenty, My heart gives a leap, Remembering the vows That I promised to keep. At twenty-five now, I have young of my own, Who need me to guide And a secure happy home. A woman of thirty, My young now grown fast, Bound to each other With ties that should last. At forty, my young sons Have grown and are gone, But my man's beside me To see I don't mourn. At fifty once more, Babies play round my knee, Again we know children, My loved one and me. Dark days are upon me, My husband is dead, I look at the future, I shudder with dread. For my young are all rearing Young of their own, And I think of the years And the love that I've known. I'm now an old woman And nature is cruel; 'Tis jest to make old age Look like a fool. The body, it crumbles, Grace and vigor depart, There is now a stone Where I once had a heart. But inside this old carcass A young girl still dwells, And now and again, My battered heart swells. I remember the joys, I remember the pain, And I'm loving and living Life over again. I think of the years All too few, gone too fast, And accept the stark fact That nothing can last. So open your eyes, people, Open and see, Not a crabby old woman; Look closer . . see ME!! Remember this poem when you next meet an old person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within .. we will all, one day, be there, too! Thank you Sherry M:) (\o/) (\o/) We must not lose hope. Hope is an anchor to the souls of men. Satan would have us cast away that anchor. In this way he can bring discouragement and surrender. But we must not lose hope. The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him. Though we may see that we have far to go on the road to perfection, we must not give up hope. -Ezra Taft Benson (\o/) (\o/) To all of you from me:) A Story for Valentine's Day By Jo Ann Larsen Larry and Jo Ann were an ordinary couple. They lived in an ordinary house on an ordinary street. Like any other ordinary couple, they struggled to make ends meet and to do the right things for their children. They were ordinary in yet another way ??” they had their squabbles. Much of their conversation concerned what was wrong in their marriage and who was to blame. Until one day when a most extraordinary event took place. "You know, Jo Ann, I've got a magic chest of drawers. Every time I open them, they're full of socks and underwear," Larry said. "I want to thank you for filling them all these years." Jo Ann stared at her husband over the top of her glasses. "What do you want, Larry?" "Nothing. I just want you to know I appreciate those magic drawers." This wasn't the first time Larry had done something odd, so Jo Ann pushed the incident out of her mind until a few days later. "Jo Ann, thank you for recording so many correct check numbers in the ledger this month. You put down the right numbers 15 out of 16 times. That's a record." Disbelieving what she had heard, Jo Ann looked up from her mending. "Larry, you're always complaining about my recording the wrong check numbers. Why stop now?" "No reason. I just wanted you to know I appreciate the effort you're making." Jo Ann shook her head and went back to her mending. "What's got into him?" she mumbled to herself. Nevertheless, the next day when Jo Ann wrote a check at the grocery store, she glanced at her checkbook to confirm that she had put down the right check number. "Why do I suddenly care about those dumb check numbers?" she asked herself. She tried to disregard the incident, but Larry's strange behavior intensified. "Jo Ann, that was a great dinner," he said one evening. "I appreciate all your effort. Why, in the past 15 years I'll bet you've fixed over 14,000 meals for me and the kids." Then "Gee, Jo Ann, the house looks spiffy. You've really worked hard to get it looking so good." And even "Thanks, Jo Ann, for just being you. I really enjoy your company." Jo Ann was growing worried. "Where's the sarcasm, the criticism?" she wondered. Her fears that something peculiar was happening to her husband were confirmed by 16-year-old Shelly, who complained, "Dad's gone bonkers, Mom. He just told me I looked nice. With all this makeup and these sloppy clothes, he still said it. That's not Dad, Mom. What's wrong with him?" Whatever was wrong, Larry didn't get over it. Day in and day out he continued focusing on the positive. Over the weeks, Jo Ann grew more accustomed to her mate's unusual behavior and occasionally even gave him a grudging "Thank you." She prided herself on taking it all in stride, until one day something so peculiar happened, she became completely discombobulated: "I want you to take a break," Larry said. "I am going to do the dishes. So please take your hands off that frying pan and leave the kitchen." (Long, long pause.) "Thank you, Larry. Thank you very much!" Jo Ann's step was now a little lighter, her self-confidence higher and once in a while she hummed. She didn't seem to have as many blue moods anymore. "I rather like Larry's new behavior," she thought. That would be the end of the story except one day another most extraordinary event took place. This time it was Jo Ann who spoke. "Larry," she said, "I want to thank you for going to work and providing for us all these years. I don't think I've ever told you how much I appreciate it." Larry has never revealed the reason for his dramatic change of behavior no matter how hard Jo Ann has pushed for an answer, and so it will likely remain one of life's mysteries. But it's one I'm thankful to live with. You see, I am Jo Ann. Thank you Kay:) I can't add more, except...let's all give this a try with our significant other, or ANYONE that we appreciate, for the things they do or say to make our days more pleasant.
