Written in Stone....

Stone

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT

DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY,

THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND

SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE

IN THE FACE .....

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT,

BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING,

WROTE IN THE SAND...

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE!

~~~

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,

WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE!

AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.

AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING,

HE WROTE ON A STONE:

"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"

~~~~~~~~

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND

ASKED HIM,

"AFTER I HURT YOU,YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,

YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?"

THE FRIEND REPLIED......

"WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND,

WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.

BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,

WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT"

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND

AND TO

CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

Bon Voyage....

I took my husband to the airport at about 5am this morning. He's flying back to Indianapolis to spend the day with Sharayah. IBC is having a Pastor's Banquet Tuesday Evening. So, he will be able to go to class with Sharayah on Tuesday and spend some "quality" time with her. It's 7:30am and I've already had my hour walk, cooked breakfast and I'm getting ready to take the boys to school.

Happy Birthday to my sister Priscilla...

**Priscilla is the little blond at the end.....
Today is my sister Priscilla's 51st birthday. I love my "little" sister. She may be 7 years older...but she is the official baby of the family. I took her place after she was already well set in the baby position for 7 years. So, I acknowledge the baby position is hers. lol Love you Priscilla....

I love this picture!

This is my great nephew Cade. I smile everytime I see this shot. He's very busy and inquisitive....he dressed himself up. Only a kid could do this great of a job dressing up.....lol

Election Day!

I got up to day at 5:30am to do my hour walk....(in the rain)...so that I could be at the voting polls when they opened at 7am. This year they used our church gym at Spirit and Truth Worship Center. I met the people in line around me and I invited the HS Coach to church....he said he'd be there Sunday!

Vote this Tuesday

Don't forget to support your country and vote on Tues. Our church is a voting center. So, I will be casting my vote in the house of God that I attend weekly! Sharayah already voted...so she is an official adult. lol She has a job, pays taxes and she votes....got one out of the nest...two more to go. lol



~~~~~~~~~~~~~I will vote for the future President...Mr. JT Copple...lol~~~~

Winter is coming....I love this time of year!

I talk to Sharayah daily and get the news on what is new in her world. And I have her send me cell pictures of her and her friends to keep up on her day. We get to talk live on Skype and you feel like you are with each other each day for a little bit. She says it's getting very cold in Indiana and she's having to bundle up in Winter jacket, scarf, tights...warm clothes and boots. New for her...because here in Cali...we rarely use wool coats. I never do. It's hard to imagine when our days are still up in the 80s here in Cali. I haven't had a fire in the fireplace yet so far. :-( Loving the cool morning air to walk in. Today I walked an hour in mist/rain and it felt awesome.

~~The picture above is of her while out shopping for her uniform at work. She has to wear black and white. :-)~~

Sharayah has been going to nursing home ministry on Sunday Mornings in Indy and she made a new friend...Mignon Taylor...they call her Sis. Taylor. She's up in her 90s and Sharayah said she's dressed up beautiful each Sunday morning...always has a song and a testimony. Sharayah said she's under 5 ft. and a doll....she is planning to go visit her this week....I hope she finds out more about her story...I'm sure she was a piller saint in her home church. She enjoys the college students bringing church to them in the nursing home.
