'Food' for thought!

I thought this was EXCELLENT! Spoke volumes to my heart! I hope you enjoy it as well.

GOD'S CAKE

Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did God have to do this to me?' Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong: she's failing algebra; her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely, Mom, I love your cake.' 'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers. 'Yuck,' says her daughter. 'How about a couple raw eggs?' 'Gross, Mom!' 'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?' 'Mom, those are all yucky!' To which the mother replies: 'Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.



May your day be a piece of cake!!!

What kind of shoe are you?

Not sure I agree with ALL of this but thought it was interesting!

You Are Clogs

You are a solid and down to earth person. You seek – and almost always achieve – a really sound balance in your life. You are stylish yet comfortable. Mellow but driven. Excited yet calm. You are the perfect mesh of contradictions. No matter what happens, you have the ability to stay well grounded in your life. People know that they can truly depend on you. You should live: In Europe You should work: At a company dedicated to helping the world

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

UPDATE ON ZACHARY

Well, I meant to update days ago, but it's been TOO BUSY! Zachary did EXCELLENT with his MRI. He was pretty proud of himself also because he didn't cry. Mommy was able to go in with him until he went to sleep so that eased his mind a little. They didn't put the IV's & breathing tube in until after he was asleep so that was good too. Here are a few pictures of his day. We will not have the results of the next until next week at his doctor appt.

Here is Zachary with his puppy, Spot, who he got to take with him. This picture was while waiting to be checked in.

Here he is in his cute little hospital gown. Such a handsome little fellow!

This was just after he came out & was in recovery. They like for them to eat a popsicle or drink some juice before leaving but Zachary doesn't not eat popsicles and ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT touch juice (he is an ALL WATER BOY) so they said he could go home if we watched him, Of course this mother keeps a very close on her 'baby' anyway!!!!! He did great though. By the time we got home (an hour later) you would have never known he had been through all that. Usually he is very droggy after these tests and sleeps much of the rest of the day, but this time he was not. PRAISE THE LORD! Zachary is definitely our little miracle child! We believe the Lord has definitely got something special in store for his little life.

Prayer for Zachary

If you think of Zachary (and Mommy) around 1:00 this afternoon, please say a little prayer for him. He is going for a routine MRI, but it's around this time I always tend to get a little nervous. While everything may appear to be fine something could be wrong. His last surgery we only need something was wrong because of flu symptoms lasting longer than normal. Long story short, please pray that everything will be fine. While we won't know the results till the dr appt next Thursday we still covet prayers. Zachary is having a rough day already. He isn't allowed to eat (because of anesthesia) and he fell asleep at 9:30 last night so he is VERY hungry! Mommy's heart is breaking watching her little guy have to go through this, but we know it has to been done. ANYWAY!!!!! All this is to pray that everythingwill be fine today.

Good Morning

I just thought I'd pass this along. May God Bless each of you readers!

Good morning!

We can pretend we are sharing a good cup of coffee

(or tea, or Diet Coke or Dr Pepper while enjoying....

Good Morning Blessings

If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people.

This morning when I wakened

And saw the sun above,

I softly said, 'Good morning , Lord , Bless everyone I love'

Right away I thought of YOU

And said a loving prayer,

That He would bless you specially ,

And keep you free from care.

I thought of all the happiness

A day could hold in store,

I wished it all for you

because NO ONE deserves it more .

I felt so warm and good inside,

My heart was all aglow ..

I know God heard my prayers for you ,

He hears them all, you know.

Another Step of Growing Up

My little guy took another step into growing up! He went to the dentist! Yes, Zachary is 5 1/2 years old and this was his first visit. Because he has been through so much medically, we did not want to put another doctor visit on his list. This is why we waited longer than we did Abigail. He did an EXCELLENT job!!! I was very proud of him. He told me later... "I was going to cry but I didn't" What a brave little guy you are, Zachary! We love you lots!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
