The un-answerable question !

Have you ever thought about how to answer these...

"How do snow plow drivers get to work?"

"Why is there only one monopolies commission?"

"Why do kamikaze pilots wear crash helmets?"

"Why is abbreviation such a long word?"

Maybe it's just the way my mind works, but I like these .......

For times of Trouble.....

"God is our refuge and strength
always ready to help in times of trouble."
Psalm 46 v1

Today

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new titbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honoured because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Wings of Prayer

Coming to the end of another day, I thought I would post this poem I came across. It is a lovely reminder that what ever we are worried about, care about infact whatever is on our hearts all we have to do is give it all over to God (Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37 v 4).

Wings Of A Prayer
Just close your eyes
and open your heart
And feel your worries
and cares depart...
Just yield yourself
to the Father above
And let Him hold you
secure in His love,
For He hears every prayer
and answers each one
When we pray in His name,"
Thy will be done" --
And the burdens that seemed
too heavy to bear
are lifted away
on the wings of prayer

BARNEY


THIS IS JUST FUN!!
I found this while I was suffing the net the other night and thought I would share it. Just waiting for Dan Brown to discover this truth and it will be a bestseller next year!!!!!

Here's what I discovered....

1. Start with the given: CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

2. Change all U's to V's: CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR (proper Latin)

3. Extract all Roman Numerals: C V V L D I V

4. Convert into Arabic values: 100 5 5 50 500 1 5

5. Add all the numbers: 666

Thus, Barney is the Anti-Christ.

Note to Giant ....

Somebody has written a note to Giant
it is not signed
it only says
"I've know you since the beginning."
Giant doesn't know what it means
but it makes him feel,
Almost contented.

Baby Birds


Teetering on the edges of our nests, we baby birds shouldn't be surprised to learn the following fact:

Learning to fly is an anagram of one falling try.

Just came across this and thought it was worth posting.

One of those (!) days ....

After coming home from work having had "one of those days", I came across the following and thought I would post it here for anyone else who might of had "one of those days". Maybe if I had come across it at the start of the day rather than the end the day might of been better .... (Hindsight is a wonderful thing!)

The gift of today can not be saved and opened tomorrow.
Celebrate today with an expectation of seeing
how God hand-picked your circumstances to bring out HIS best in you!
Must remember this for tomorrow!

Only a Prayer Away

Came across this and thought I would share it will you all...

Rainbows appear after mighty storms
When things look their very worst
Just when the skies are darkest grey
Look for the Rainbow first.

The Rainbow is a sign of God's promise
That HE will guide us through any storm
That HE will see us through all our troubles
No matter what their form.

When you feel battered by life's storms
And you are filled with boubt and dismay,
Just remember, a Rainbow is coming -
It's only a prayer away.

Love

Fi
