five finger prayer

1) your thumb: so begin your prayers by praying for those closet to you they are the easiest to remember to pray for our loved ones as C. S. Lewis once said a sweet duty.

2) The next finger: is the pointing finger pray for those who teach instruct and heal this includes Teachers Doctors and Ministers they need support wisdom in pointing others in the right direction keep them in your prayers.

3) The next finger : is the tallest finger it reminds us of our leaders pray for the president leaders in bussiness and in industery and administration thease people shape our nation and guide public opinion they need gods guidance

4) Fourth finger: is our ring finger suprising to many it is our weakest finger as any piano teacher would testify . it should remind us to pray for those who are weak in trouble of pain they need your prayers day and night you can not pray to much for them

5) Last finger : and lastly comes our fith finger the smallest finger of all is where we should place our selves in relation to god and others as the bible says the least shall be the greatest among your pinkie should remind you to pray for your self by the time you pray for the other groups your own needs will be put in proper prospective you will be able to pray for your self effectivly

Oh what fun that was. he made a house for it out of my flower pots witch he colored all over . nice :) he carried the house every where he went . when he had lunch it stayed by the screen door thats as far as i would let it stay. every now and then he would take it out and take it for a walk or just sit and talk too it . by 4 a clock i think the taod had it . Courtney was home she want it back . Oh by the way did i metion they named it asperilla . yes a pretty name . When Courtney wanted it back Ryan cried he did not want to give it up. so they both took it to the creek with Courtneys older sister and let it go . then they both came back crying because they miss asperilla.

before you complain about the didstance you drive - think of some one who walks the same distance wth their feet

and when your tierd and complain about your job - think of the unemployed disabled and those who wish they had your job

but before you point your finger or condeming another - remember not one of us without sin and we all answer the same maker

when depressing thoughts get you down -put a smile on your face and thank god your alive and still around

enjoy everything about your life and be thankful every moment for life is more than a gift

a mayonaise jar and 2 cups of coffee

when things in your life seem

almost to much to handle ,

when 24 hours in a day is not enough

remember the mayonaise jar and 2 cups of coffee

a professer stood before his philosphy class

and had some items in front of him

when the class began wordlessly

he picked up a very large

and empty mayonaise jar

and proceeded to fill it with golf balls

then he asked the students

if the jar was full

they agreed it was

the professer then picked up a jar of pebbles

and poured them into the jar

he shook the jar lightly

the pebbles rolled into the open

areas between the golf balls

then he asked

the students again

if the jar was full

they agreed it was

the students responded with

a unanimous yes

the proffesser then prodused 2 cups of coffee

from under the table

and poured the entire contents

into the jar effectivly

filling the empty spaces between the sand

the students laughed

now said the professer

as the laughter sudsided

i want you to reconize that

this jar represents your life

the golf balls are impotant things

god , family, children , health,

friends and favorite passions

things that if evey thing else was lost

and only they remained

your life would still be full

the pebbles are other things matter

like your job , house , and car

if you put the sand into the jar first

he continued

there is no room for

the pebbles or golf balls

same goes for life

if you spend all your time on the small stuff

you will never have room for

the things that are important to you

so ..........

pay attention to the things

that are crictical to your happiness

play with your children

take time to get medical check ups

take your partner out to dinner

play another 18

there always be time to clean the house

and fix the disposal

take care of the golf balls

the things that really matter first

set your priorities

the rest is just sand

one of the students raised her hand

and inquired what the coffee represented

the professer smiled

glad you asked that

it just goes to show you that

no matter how full

your life may seem theres always

room for

a couple of cups of coffee

with a friend

the boys

this is a picture of anthony in his standing frame and ryan who is so proud of him

very happy

I found my pass word im back in action wow im so happy i joined all my friends in the blogging world this is great im proud to call you ladys my friends
