Lil' Punkin

Sweet little pumpkin we got to take care of on

Saturday. Aaron T. and his big sister and brother

came down so we could take care of them while

mama and daddy went out for Sushi then a ride

on the Razor.

My NEW Shoes (from the thrift store :-)

I spent a total of $12.00 for these three pairs of

shoes. I love finding a bargain and they are from the

Hospice of Havasu Thrift Store...so the money even

goes to a great cause!!!

Will we share our spoon?

A Holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
"Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."

The Lord led the holy man to two doors, he opened one of the doors and
the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table...

In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and
made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were
thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons
with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found
it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get
the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, "You have seen Hell..." they went to the next room and
opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the
large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth
water.

The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the
people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The Holy man said,
I don't understand. "It is simple, said the Lord. "It requires but one skill."

You see, they have learned to feed each other. The greedy think only of themselves.

When Jesus died on the Cross he was thinking of You!

(I think this little illustration is LESS a picture of Heaven and Hell and MORE a picture
of us with our human thinking versus having the Holy Spirit in our lives giving us the
power and desire to feed our brothers and sisters.)

ONE THING...

If you have to choose between talking about all the things you cannot directly affect and
doing something about ONE thing you can affect...do the ONE thing!



After all....we are all changing, it's a matter of in WHICH DIRECTION?



Baby steps in the RIGHT direction are much better than huge steps to NO WHERE!
