Food for Thought...

 

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.

Tried and true 

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Love ever gives - forgives - outlives. 

  I am only one - but I am one.  I cannot do everything but I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Thin as a rail ( just skin and bones)

God will give you double for your trouble  .

.  ..a hard pill to swallow

The long and the short of it is...

The best way to tackle trouble is to face it with courage and determination.

She's doing good for the shape she's in.   

a hard row to hoe. 

  The more one judges,     the less one loves. 

  I've got a hankering to (do this or so.) 

The real YOU comes forth in an unguarded moment  .

  The sooner -- the quicker

Out of the frying pan and into the fire           (out of one relationship & into another.)

Don't be a 'pushover'.  .

  It will bless your socks off!

   There is good in the worst of us     and bad in the best of us.

 

Let me be a little kinder, 
 

 

 let me be a little blinder    to the faults of those around me,.
let me praise a little more

 You reap what you sow. 

And the gist of it all is... Someone said it, and I believe it, "If you talk on the phone for more than 10 minutes, you will say something that you wish you hadn't said."

 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: 

bullet

Psalm 46:1  God is our refuge and strength, a present help in time of trouble.

bullet

Another favorite:  He that is within me (Holy Spirit) is greater than he (Satan) which is in the world.

bullet

Another favorite:  I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.

bullet

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.)

bullet

Another favorite:  Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.

 

Praise the Lord!
