Sooo Much to be Thankful For!!!!

Hey you guys! Just wanted to remind us all how much we have to be Thankful for as a family. I think these pictures help us all remember why we are so blessed. Thanks for all you have done for us Mom and Dad. I think we all understand it better now that we are parents.

Don't let your worries get the best of you; Remember, Moses started out as a basket case. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited Until you try to sit in their pews.. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Many folks want to serve God, But only as advisers. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* It is easier to preach ten sermons Than it is to live one. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, But mosquitoes come close. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* When you get to your wit's end, You'll find God lives there. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* People are funny; they want the front of the bus, Middle of the road, And back of the church. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Opportunity may knock once, But temptation bangs on the front door forever. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Quit griping about your church; If it was perfect, you couldn't belong. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* If a church wants a better pastor, It only needs to pray for the one it has. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* God Himself doesn't propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you? *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Some minds are like concrete Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Peace starts with a smile. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* I don't know why some people change churches; What difference does it make which one you stay home from? *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* A lot of church members singing 'Standing on the Promises' Are just sitting on the premises. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Be ye fishers of men. You catch 'em - He'll clean 'em. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Stop, Drop, and Roll won't work in Hell. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Don't put a question mark where God put a period. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Forbidden fruits create many jams. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* God grades on the cross, not the curve. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* God loves everyone, But probably prefers 'fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts!' *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* He who angers you, controls you! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* If God is your Co-pilot, swap seats! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Prayer: Don't give God instructions, just report for duty! *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We don't change the message, The message changes us. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* You can tell how big a person is By what it takes to discourage him. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

I just found out that my Mom broke her leg just above the ankle. It hurts to even think about it. I guess we know know who I got all my grace from!

A New School Year

School has begun again. I am still teaching 2nd grade but have a lot higher class than I had last year. The teachers who got last year's kids are none to happy because they're still low. It's sad when you have to pass a child who is way low because he/she has already been held back. My kids this year are a handful but because they are higher they're easier.

Here's a little food for thought.... "Why do you keep reading the Bible everyday?" the teenage girl asked her grandfather. "Well, it's a bit like cramming for your final exam," said Granddad.

Why I am Thankful!

• I am thankful for the mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
• I am thankful for the taxes I have to pay because it means I have a job and I am employed.
• I am thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have had enough to eat.
• I am thankful for the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
• I am thankful for all the complaining I do about the government because it means we have freedom of speech.
• I am thankful for the parking spot I find at the far end of the lot because it means I am capable of walking.
• I am thankful for my big heating bill because it means I am warm.
• (I love this one. Don’t look around. Don’t turn. Just listen.) I am thankful for the lady behind me in Church who sings off-key because it means I can hear.
• I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
• I am thankful for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
• And finally, I am thankful for the alarm that goes off early in the morning because it means that I am still alive.
