Keep in mind that this inspirational story come from a book called "especially for Moms".
WOMEN:
Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships, carry burdens, but they also hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. Women wait by the phone for a "safe-at-home-call" from a friend after a snowy drive home. Women have special qualities about them. They volunteer for good causes. They are

Ok, let me interject a little bit here. I strangely get some funny pictures in my mind's eye when reading the first few sentences. First off I can see seriously carrying children, and hardships, but the first picture that pops into my mind when we come to carrying burdens, is a "mule" no, not for the reason you think. I talking about being stubborn. Mules are known as "beasts of burdens", and they are stubborn. We have to stand our ground and learn to say no, or enough. I'm definitely not saying don't help, I'm saying know your limits, cause no one else does, and they will push until you feel like screaming. That's why whenever I start being a pest, I would prefer people tell me.

On a lighter note speaking of being nervous, now this girl has been married three different times, so you would think I would be an "old hand" at this wedding thing, right? WRONG!!!! This last time, I did fine until I walked down the isle tears of happiness streaming down my face, reaching the preacher, gazing into my beloved's eyes, and started giggling, loud. I was sooooo nervous, and I couldn't stop. My future husband looked at me like I had truly lost it. I'm surprised he didn't turn and run. I always tell my husband the third time's the charm or 3 strikes and I'm out, but I am NOT EVER getting married again. No matter what happens. I would not go through another wedding like the last one. Of course, that was 23 years ago this past July 4th. My giggle box has definitely been turned down some.
MEN:
Well...that's for another chapter and book. But in the meantime, men are good at lifting heavy stuff and killing bugs.
Inner Peace Attained
Inner Peace Attained
"To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life...bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live...then, and only then can you begin to find inner peace."
Peace Pilgrim
"Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates."
Proverbs 31:29-31
Good Night All! HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY GOD BLESS!
