A kindergarten teacher was walking around observing her classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.”
Without looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”
A young woman brought her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner her father asked the young man into his study for a chat. “So, what are your plan?” he began. “I’m a theology scholar,” the young man replied. “Admirable,” the father said, “but what will you do to provide a nice home for my daughter?” “I will study and God will provide,” he explained. “And how will you afford to raise children?” “God will provide.”
The men left the study and the mother asked her husband, “How did it go?” “He has no money or employment plans,” the father said. “But on the other hand, he thinks I’m God.”
6 ethics of life:
Before you pray – believe
Before you spend – earn
Before you write – think

The writing was smudged and crooked. The verse did not rhyme and the cutout of the heart made less than a perfect Valentine. But the message from the little girl to her mom was clear: “I love you”.
Don’t wait to express your love for others. No matter how you package it, this gift is certain to bring happiness in your life and the lives of others. Failing to do so, can bring you a heart filled with regrets when the opportunity is lost. It takes so little in the way of time, energy and resources. Do it for yourself and someone you love today!
“The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.” – Henry Miller
Hugs are an expression of love without words – they can take the hurt out of a child’s scraped knee, soothe a troubled soul, comfort the grieving heart and put a smile on the face of almost any person who gives and receives one.
Hugs speaks for themselves, saying “I care, I accept you, I’m here for you, I’ve missed you, I like to be with you. Some researchers have concluded that children need as many hugs a day as they need glasses of milk. So, give and receive more hugs today.
“You can’t wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug.” unknown author
Mom said it’s easier to clean up if I remove my clothes.

Good Moms have
sticky floor,

happy kids.
“A lot of parents will do anything for their kids except let them be themselves.”- Banksy
1. Your feet stick to the kitchen floor, and you don’t care.
2. When the kids are fighting, you threaten to lock them in a room together and not let them out until someone’s bleeding.
3. You can’t find your cordless phone, so you ask a friend to call you, and you run around the house madly, following the sound until you locate the phone downstairs in the laundry basket.
4. You spend an entire week wearing sweats.
5. Your idea of a good day is making it through without a child leaking bodily fluids on you.
6. Popsicles become a food staple.
7. Your favorite television show is a cartoon.
8. Peanut butter and jelly is eaten at least in one meal a day.
9. You’re willing to kiss your child’s boo-boo, regardless of where it is.
10. Your kids make jokes about bodily functions, and you think it’s funny.
11. You’re so desperate for adult conversation that you spill your guts to the telemarketer that calls…and HE hangs up on YOU!
12. Spit is your number one cleaning agent.
13. You buy cereal with marshmallows in it.
14. The closest you get to gourmet cooking is making Rice Krispie treats.
15. You’re up each night until 10:00 P.M. vacuuming, dusting, wiping, washing, drying, loading, unloading, shopping, cooking, driving, flushing, ironing, sweeping, picking up, changing sheets, changing diapers, bathing, helping with homework, paying bills, budgeting, clipping coupons, folding clothes, putting to bed, dragging out of bed, brushing, chasing, buckling, feeding (them, not you), PLUS swinging, playing baseball, bike riding, pushing trucks, cuddling dolls, roller-blading, basketball, football, catch, bubbles, sprinklers, slides, nature walks, coloring, crafts, jumping rope, PLUS raking, trimming, planting, edging, mowing, gardening, painting, and walking the dog. You get up at 5:30 AM and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink, or go to the bathroom, and yet…you still managed to gain 10 pounds.
Litter itself is enough to raise the ire of those who respect the environment, but the message behind littering is even more disturbing. It says “I don’t care about this place or anyone who lives here.”
If you’re in the habit of tossing your trash out the window or dumping your junk at the end of a rural road, you have been living by the saying, “Out of sight, out of mind”. Your actions may be saying things your mind never intended. Mend your ways. Failing to respect the environment and disrespecting the well-being of others will ultimately cause you to lose respect for yourself. It’s never too late to turn over a new leaf if you really want to make a difference.
“Litter, and it will hurt. It hurts the community, and the fines will hurt when you get caught. Half of the litter is accidental, from things blown off trucks and such, but the other half doesn’t reflect positively on the community.” Walt Thompson
