~ Words for life's journey ~

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”

—Nora Roberts (b. 1950), fiction author

I’M GRATEFUL!

I’m grateful God for loving Care,

I’m grateful too, for Something more,

I’m grateful God that I can bear,

The things I’m not grateful For!

"One of the hardest things in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn."

Have a good day!

1/4 cup borax
Vegetable-oil based liquid soap

Take a large kettle, pot or roasting pan and fill with water. Bring to a boil.

Using tongs place the drip pans and rings in the pot of hot water.
Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat, cover with lid and let sit overnight.

I'm missing this.........

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world." ~Virgil A. Kraft

“Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.”

Doug Larson

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime.

Never make a negative decision in the low time.

Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.

Wait. Be patient.The storm will pass.

The spring will come.”

Unknown

How about you?...

Show me what you're missing.

Happy first day of spring !!!!!

Here's the truth....

This is Abraham Lincoln's quote:

"You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The Government cannot give to anybody anything that the Government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is surely the end of any nation's future."

Abraham Lincoln
