Ralph Waldo Emerson

TODAY'S QUOTE

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.

Stephen Vincent Benét

HAPPY TUESDAY!

I’m off to work and after a round of Spring-like storms yesterday the weather is turning colder and tonight it may be down in the low 30’s and snow once again. Over night the grass seemed to turn green around here.

Today my Mom will get the results of her CAT scan . Please keep her in your prayers. I stayed the day with her yesterday and she wasn’t doing real great. My dad came through his surgery just fine and was home by mid-day. I stayed until evening and was home about 7:00 .

Take good care all !

Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way!

A mother in Pittsburgh tells of having dinner with her little son and daughter. It had been a long, trying day at home, and her husband was still at the office. Both children were fussy and didn't want to eat, and her patience had reached it's limit.

She looked up and sighed, "Oh, God, help me with these children."

Immediately her four-year-old daughter bowed her head and was silent. the mother was delighted, thinking the girl was asking God to help her be good.

But then the girl looked up at her and said, I just asked Him not to help you
