Good late evening!! Sorry for my absence last night but after church we went shopping - to no avail - I was looking for something to wear to work today and the only thing I found was way too expensive. See I need suits - I am picky about the fabric, etc! Any suggestions? I was at Dillards! Then when we got home I had to put all of the crystal away that I had used at the wedding reception and after that it was after 10!
Tonight I am getting an early start - 9:48!! P.M. that is!!!
Here is something I think worth reading and taking to heart! What do you have that you are saving for a "special occasion" -- get it out and use it -- I certainly am!!!
> A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked
> up a silk paper wrapped package:
>
> 'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'
>
> He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the
> box.
>
> 'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years
> ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.
>
> Well, I guess this is it.
>
> He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other
> clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.
>
> He turned to me and said:
>
> 'Never save something for a special occasion.
>
> Every day in your life is a special occasion'..
>
> I still think those words changed my life.
>
> Now I read more and clean less.
>
> I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.
>
> I spend more time with my family, and less at work.
>
> I understood that life should be a source of experience to be
> lived up to, not survived through.
>
> I no longer keep anything.
>
> I use crystal glasses every day...
>
> I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like
> it.
>
> I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it
> whenever I want to.
>
> The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my
> Dictionary;
>
> If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen
> or do it now.....
>
> I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew
> she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.
>
> I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
> She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.
>
> I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite
> food.
>
> It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew
> my time had come..
>
> Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.
>
> Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one....
>
> If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because,
> probably, there's someone you care about.
>
> If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say
> to yourself that you will send it 'One of these days' , remember that
> 'One day' is far away... or might never come......
>
> No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time
> reading it.
I have a couple of recipes for you!!!
LUSH FRUIT DESSERT
22 Graham crackers, crushed
1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 cup melted butter
Mix together and put into 1 9X13 pan and chill.
Whip 1 whipping cream, fold in 4 cups small marshmallows
Spread half on graham crackers.
Spread 2 cans cherry pie filling and cover with rest of cream.
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top and chill!
I don't see why you could not use any fruit pie filling - peach, ect. Just would not be as pretty!!
Oh I am going to skip the next recipe until tomorrow and tell you about the neatest thing!!
My Mom (remember 92) said today that last night her young neighbor came over and said she just wanted to talk about the Bible (Mom had talked to her before briefly) so they talked for about an hour. Mom gave you special verses to read and told her when she felt mad at God she should pray and ask forgivness - or when she was troubled. It was a great visit and Mom is waiting for the opportunity to invite her and her husband to church. See you are never too old to be a missionary for God. I am so proud of her!!!!
Have a blessed day and look for opportunities to help someone else!!!
