Beautiful Tuesday

Really, it's nor a beautiful day because it's dreary and raining but I'm feeling so great as if it's a beautiful day because my mother's estate is now completed. Yestrday I spent another day at the lawyer's office wrapping up the final materials and now that my siblings and I have agreed to her will, all that's left is that we all sign it and my mother can rest in peace finally. Thanks to the Lord. 
Tuesday and means pool with Gerry, coffee and goodies. Christmas is coming up quickly ( 2 day to go ) and means my cruise is also coming soon. All the gifts are finished. I finally was able to get my wife a gift that she wanted. Now it's just wrapping it up and place it under the tree.

Christmas Quote of the Day

              ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today a found a beautiful story that I thought you would like to read.

 

My husband and I had been happily married (most of the time) for five years but hadn't been blessed with a baby.

 

I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if he would give us a child, I would be a perfect mother, love it with all my heart and raise it with His word as my guide.

 

God answered my prayers and blessed us with a son. The next year God blessed us with another son. The following year, He blessed us with yet another son. The year after that we were blessed with a daughter.

 

My husband thought we'd been blessed right into poverty. We now had four children, and the oldest was only four years old.

 

I learned never to ask God for anything unless I meant it As a minister once told me, "If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella."

 

I began reading a few verses of the Bible to the children each day as they lay in their cribs.

 

I was off to a good start. God had entrusted me with four children and I didn't want to disappoint Him.

 

I tried to be patient the day the children smashed two dozen eggs on the kitchen floor searching
for baby chicks. I tried to be understanding...

 

When they started a hotel for homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours to catch all twenty-three frogs.

When my daughter poured ketchup all over herself and  rolled up in a blanket to see how it felt to be a hot dog, I tried to see the humor rather than the mess. In spite of changing over twenty-five thousand diapers, never eating a hot meal  and never sleeping for more than thirty minutes at a time, I still thank God daily for my children.

 

While I couldn't keep my promise  to be a perfect mother - I didn't even come close...I did keep my promise to raise them in the Word of God.

 

I knew I was missing the mark just a little when I told my daughter we were going to church to worship God, and she wanted to bring a bar of soap along to "wash up" Jesus, too.

 

Something was lost in the translation when I explained that God gave us everlasting life, and my son thought it was generous of God to give us his "last wife."

 

My proudest moment came during the children's Christmas pageant.

 

My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds and my youngest son was a wise man. This was their moment to shine.

 

My five-year-old shepherd had practiced his line, "We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes."

 

But he was nervous and said,  "The baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes."

 

My four-year-old "Mary" said, "That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly. 

That's dirty, rotten clothes."

A wrestling match broke out between Mary and the shepherd and was stopped by an angel, who  bent her halo and lost her left wing.

I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying,  "Mama-mama."

 

Mary grabbed the doll, wrapped it back up and held it tightly as the wise men arrived.

 

My other son stepped forward wearing a bathrobe and a paper crown, knelt at the manger and announced, "We are the three wise men, and we are bringing gifts of gold,  common sense and fur."

 

The congregation dissolved into laughter, and the pageant got a standing ovation.

"I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one," laughed the pastor, wiping tears from his eyes

 

"For the rest of my life, I'll never hear the Christmas story without thinking of gold, common sense  and fur."

 

"My children are my pride and my joy and my greatest blessing," I said as I dug through my purse for an aspirin.

 

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

 

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

 

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.

 

Had no army, yet kings feared Him.

 

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.

 

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

 

Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.

 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL YOU and have a very Merry Christmas!

                                                                                                                                                       

Christmas Tuesday's Funnies

Ever wonder how blondes remember their Passwords?

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy

When asked why such a big password, she said, "It had to be at least 8 characters long.

 

---

One day a blonde office worker comes out to the warehouse to walk around. As she is walking she looks up and sees a co-worker hanging upside down from an I-Beam in the ceiling.

She asks "What ARE you doing"?

The co-worker says "I need a few days off but the boss won't let me have them so I'm hanging upside down from this I-Beam acting crazy.

The boss will see me, think I need rest and send me home for a few days".

The blonde says "That won't work...uh ohh...here comes the boss now, you're in for it".

The boss spots the blode looking up and sees the man hanging up there and asks him "Just WHAT do you think you are DOING?!!"

The man says (in a "crazy" voice) I'm a light bulb...I'm a light bulb"

The boss says "Buddy, you need some rest..take the rest of today and tomorrow off and get some sleep".

As he is climbing down he winks at the blonde showing her it worked.

The blonde thinks about this for a moment and starts to follow the man out the door.

The boss asks her "WHERE do you think YOU'RE going?"

The blonde says "I can't work in the dark".
