~~~~~~~ WITandWISDOM™ - April 2, 1999 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. - Paulo Coelho (E-zine: THIS AND THAT Mailto:milady@mediaone.net) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us. Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us - and we cannot measure that at all. - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: YOU KNOW YOU'RE A PARENT WHEN . . . (12 sure-fire signs) You eat dinner on dinosaur-decorated placemats You catch yourself singing the "Barney" theme song - in public. You stop the tears by taping broken crayons back together. You long for nothing more than a good night's sleep You buy jelly according to the characters on the jar. You know the best way to scrape dried Cheerios off the floor You find out you never have to buy another Christmas ornament You share the storage closet with a miniature broom and vacuum cleaner. You take phone messages in crayon. You always buy the big pack of batteries - but you can never find one when you need one. You find action figures in your washing machine You find yourself cutting your spouse's meat into bite-sized pieces (E-zine: WEEKLY PARENTING MAGAZINE Mailto:parentinghumor-subscribe@egroups.com) ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: A man and his wife were making their first doctor visit prior to the birth of their first child. After everything checked out, the doctor took a small stamp and stamped the wife's stomach with indelible ink. The couple was curious about what the stamp was for so when they got home, he dug out his magnifying glass to try to see what it was. In very tiny letters the stamp said, "When you can read this, come back and see me." (Daily Smile ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: One laugh burns 6 calories . . . Laughing is jogging for your insides . . . Laughing heartily 100 times a day has the same benefit as 10 minutes on a rowing machine . . . If you want to know someone, just watch her laugh . . . Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to a car...It doesn't take the potholes out of the road , but it sure makes the ride easier." - from "Joy Breaks" (E-zine: TIDBITS DAILY DEVOTIONAL http://members.aol.com/champ7/Tidbits.htm) |
