THINGS LEARNED

AT MOTHER'S KNEE

I share these truths -sayings- quotes as remembered from childhood - teen and adult life: I don't know who said them - or who to give credit to - but they have enriched my life! Many were taught at mother's knee to teach the value of a penny saved is a penny made or a stitch in time saves nine as examples remembered. Even today I pass them on to my children and grandchildren - and now to you the public.

	GOD BLESS.
	Ann Jones

Don't give up; tie a knot in the rope and hang on for dear life.

Success comes in cans NOT cant's.

They're like two peas in a pod.

I'll do it by hook or crook!

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

A smile is a frown turned upside down.

Busy as a bee.

Hungry as a bear

When children are young they trample your feet but when they get older, they trample your heart.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

There is no one who needs a smile so much as the one who has none left to give.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Spring cleaning should begin with the head and end in the heart.

Laugh and the world laughs with you -- cry and you cry alone.

A man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he gave away, the more he had.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

It's no use to grumble and complain. It's just as easy to rejoice when God sorts out the weather and sends rain. Rain's my choice.

Do what you can with what you have where you are.

A burden shared is a lighter load.

No man is an island.

Never give up. Never, never, never, never!

Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.

Whenever I have a dread, I think of Jesus and I'm glad.

And each must make ere life is flown, a stumbling block or a stepping stone.

Just grin and bear it.

Mister, could you spare a dime?

Keep a stiff upper lip!

I can read between the lines.

Drop it! Let it go! Let it leave your body!

Light as a feather

Don't be a 'know it all' (brag.)

Don't have sticky fingers (steal.)

Every mother's crow is the blackest (best.)

Now let's get to the point.

Turn about is fair play .

Sign the Prayerbook

January 2005

Note from Ann to all concerned: I do take your prayer requests seriously. I do pray believing and knowing that distance is no problem with God, no wall is too high or too thick, that the Holy Spirit cannot come to your aid. I also know that Jesus is our intercessor knowing what is good for us and when my special prayer partner and I pray, we are basing results on the scripture: “Where two or more are gathered in my Name and agree on one thing, I will be in the midst of them.”

Scripturally speaking, we will prosper as our soul prospers. Another scripture which means a lot to me and I offer for consideration, “If my people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear their voice and come to their rescue.”

Some of my memorized verses which I rely on:

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a present help in time of trouble.
Another favorite: He that is within me (Holy Spirit) is greater than he (Satan) which is in the world.
Another favorite: I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.
Another favorite: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. (Because there couldn’t be a shadow unless there was a light and Jesus is that light.)
Another favorite: Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.

Praise the Lord!
