Kids talk about love:

HOW DID YOUR MOM AND DAD MEET??
"They were at a dance party at a friend's house. Then they went for a drive, but their car broke down...It was a good thing, because it gave them a chance to find out about their values."

Great post, Victoria.
Sweet dreams, AC. See ya tomorrow.
See you tomorrow. Lookin' forward to another evening on FR!
Good post. I have an old tape of radio bloopers, and a kid was once asked who he looked more like -- his mother or his father. This is what he said in his little voice:
"I don't look like my mother OR my father. I look like the mailman!"
Hi Victoria
These comments are so cute.

The Best Question
Read:
|
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Perl was asked what he attributed his success to. "My mother," he answered. "Every day when I came home from school she asked me, 'So, Marty, did you ask any good questions today?'"
David asked the best question of all: "Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?" (Psalm 15:1). There are two words ancient Jews had for expressing the question "who?" One is similar to our usage. But David used another word here that asks, "What kind of person dwells close to God?"
The answer came in a series of character traits: "He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart" (v.2).
It's one thing to know the truth; it's another to obey it. God delights to live on His holy hill with those who are holywho reflect the reality of the truth they believe. He loves men and women who "ring true."
This psalm, however, is not about any holiness of our own that we think will qualify us to gain entrance to His presence. It is rather about the beauty of holiness that God forms in us as we dwell in fellowship with Him.
The closer we get to God, the more like Him we will become. David Roper
Walk so close to God that nothing can come between.
Good morning everybody. Sometimes kids tell it better than adults.
Good morning, Mayor. Hope you are having a good day today.
Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word.
My students simply stare at the walls.
Birth order of children
Your Clothes:
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.
Preparing for the Birth:
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month.
The Layette:
1st baby: You pre-wash newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
Worries:
1st baby: At the first sign of distress-a whimper, a frown-you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
Pacifier:
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
Diapering:
1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their diaper every two to three hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.
Activities:
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
Going Out:
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home five times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
At Home:
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
Swallowing Coins (a favorite):
1st child: When first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.
2nd child: When second child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for the coin to pass.
3rd child: When third child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!!
GRANDCHILDREN: God's reward for allowing your children to live.
Years ago, my niece, Maureen, was instructing her little boy, Joel, then 4,
how to do something, and he was frustrated.
"She gently told him, "Just try, Joel."
Probably looking something like this - - - -
he came up with a classic...
"But, Mommy - I CAN'T KNOW HOW TO TRY TO!!"
(we still find that useful it in certain situations..:)
