Happy St. Patricks Day!

My favorite Irish blessing:


Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

Christ is RISEN from the Dead!

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Chorus:
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He's alive! He's alive!

Christ is Risen!

My Favorite Things...for Seniors :)

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

          Maalox and nosedrops and needles for knittin',
          Walkers and handrails and new dental fittin's,
          Bundles of magazines tied up with string,
          These are a few of my favorite things.

          Cadillacs, cataracts, hearing aids, glasses,
          Polident, Fixodent, false teeth in glasses,
          Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
          These are a few of my favorite things.

          When the pipes leak,
          When the bones creak,
          When the knees go bad,
           I simply remember my favorite things
          And then I don't feel so bad.

          Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions,
          No spicy hot food nor food cook'd with onions,
          Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
          These are a few of my favorite things.

          Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',
          Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin'.
          And we won't mention our short shrunken frames
          When we remember our favorite things.

          When the joints ache, when the hips break,
          When the eyes grow dim,
           I simply remember the great life I've had,
          And then I don't feel so bad.

           I SIMPLY REMEMBER THE GREAT LIFE I'VE HAD
          AND THEN I DON'T FEEL SOOOO BAAAAD!

Start the Day with a Song!

I noticed that  the birds start their day with a song.  Music.  Praise to their Creator.  What an example for us!  I find so many times that I start my day with a mad dash for the bathroom and then spend the rest of the day zipping from task to task...

 Maybe like the birds, I should start my day with a song....praise to my Creator....

 ♫ For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!  ♫

♫ When the Moon Hits Your Eye ♫

...like a big pizza pie....THAT'S AMORE! 

So you all will think all I do is look at the sun and moon but:

 

It was SO pretty tonight.  God is the best artist ever.

 

Money or Love?

Would we do for money what we won't do for love?  This question was presented to me  yesterday and my first thought was NO.  But then it was presented this way:  What is a man offered you $1,000 for every soul you brought to Christ?  What if you were offered $100 for every visitor to church you brought?


I think we would make it our life work to spread the Gospel.  I think our churches would be packed.  I think that Christianity would spread like wildfire.

Why is it that, in my mind, I would do for money what I don't do enough of for love?
