It looks good and easy!!

Nice to see you tonight, Tulip. Hope you had a Happy Peanut Butter Lover's Day.

[tuliptree76]

I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch to celebrate peanut butter lover's day. :-)

I have to go early tonight, but I'll see you tomorrow. Good night, Amy.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Tulip. Have a nice evening.

See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

[OESY]

Children and peanut butter don't mix,
but who would have thought
their mouths were too small?

[JustAmy]

LOL

What a sweet picture. Thanks, OESY.

Little By Little!

Read:
Exodus 23:20-33

Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. -Exodus 23:30

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 7-9

When I was a little girl, my mother gave me her prized "reader" to help me learn, just as it had helped her years earlier. I loved one particular story, never dreaming how much it would affect me years later.

It was about a little boy with a small shovel. He was trying to clear a pathway through deep, new-fallen snow in front of his house. A man paused to observe the child's enormous task. "Little boy," he inquired, "how can someone as small as you expect to finish a task as big as this?" The boy looked up and replied confidently, "Little by little, that's how!" And he continued shoveling.

God awakened in me the seed of that story at a time when I was recovering from a breakdown. I remember how my "adult" self taunted the weak "child" within me: "How can someone as inadequate as you expect to surmount so great a mountain as this?" That little boy's reply became my reply: "Little by little, that's how!" And I did overcome-by depending on God. But it was one small victory after another.

The obstacles facing Israel as they considered claiming the land God had promised them must have seemed insurmountable. But He didn't ask them to do it all at once.

"Little by little" is the strategy for victory. -Joanie Yoder

He does not lead me year by year,
Nor even day by day;
But step by step my path unfolds-
My Lord directs my way. -Ryberg

Trust God to move your mountain, but keep on climbing.

If everyone had listened to me after I interviewed him, (3 of us interview techs), we would never have hired him.

Be Kind

we are always asked

to understand the other person's

viewpoint

no matter how

out-dated

foolish or

obnoxious.

one is asked

to view

their total error

their life-waste

with

kindliness,

especially if they are

aged.

but age is the total of

our doing.

they have aged

badly

because they have

lived

out of focus,

they have refused to

see.

not their fault?

whose fault?

mine?

I am asked to hide

my viewpoint

from them

for fear of their

fear.

age is no crime

but the shame

of a deliberately

wasted

life
among so many

deliberately

wasted

lives
is.

by Charles Bukowski

Outside In

No matter how snug your cabin,
There’s one thing you still must do.
Build it right, and chink it tight,
And always leave a view.

All of our comforts come with a price,
A ball and inevitable chain,
A sense of discomfort you’ve kept away,
As seen through your own windowpane.

The best room is always the one where you live,
And the fireplace makes it so warm,
But you must have a window to see the outside,
As you all snuggle safe from the storm.
