A woman's worth (so true!)

 

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?"

Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."

She began to expound...

"As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.

She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more."

"I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man."

"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster."

"I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded."

"I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."

When she finished her spiel, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, " You're asking a lot."

She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

Send this to every woman who's worth a lot and every man who needs to know that.

Three Bullets

 

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had
an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out
hunting and kill some wild game for dinner.

As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit
and missed it. The rabbit ran away.

Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed
it. The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree.

As he went further, he saw a large wild turkey up in a tree, but he
had only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, "Pray
first, aim high and stay focused." However, at the same time, he saw a
deer which would provide more meat than the turkey. He brought the gun
down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his
legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to
shoot the rattlesnake. Still, the voice again said to him, "Pray first,
aim high and stay focused."

So, the man decided to listen to God's voice. He prayed, then aimed
the gun high up in the tree, and shot the wild turkey. The bullet went
into the turkey, deflected off a bone and hit the deer, killing it. When
the gun fired, it knocked the man off balance, he stepped on the
rattlesnake's head which killed it and fell backwards into a pond.
When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a deer
and a turkey with which to feed his family. The snake was dead simply
because the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:
Keep God first and everything else will follow.

Pray first before you do anything. Aim high in your goals, and stay
focused on God. Never let people or things discourage you
concerning your past. Do not look to man for your blessings, but look
only to God.

Did you know??? 

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most succeptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are :

I love you, Sorry and help me

The people who say these are actually in need of them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.

Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help? 

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty? 

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned two-fold?

Did you know that those who need more of you are those that don't mention it to you?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?

Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?

Did you know that if you ask  for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do. 

But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself , if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll  see  that  it  will  be  returned  two-fold . 

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON ME???... AT THE MOMENT, TIME AND PLACE THAT YOU NEED ME, CALL ME, I WILL BE THERE WITH YOU !!!!!


"One day, we will change the world...or we are already changing it " THE BALL IS NOW IN YOUR COURT... If the world were to end in 24 hours, all the phone lines, chat rooms and e-mails will be saturated from people sending messages to others, saying: "I regret having made you feel bad", "Pardon me", "I love you", "I hold you in high esteem", take good care of yourself" and sometimes  "I have always loved you, only I never told you".

 

 

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz,
the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't
have to actually answer the questions. Just read the
e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer
Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for
best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series
winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of
yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They
are the best in their fields. But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades
and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through
school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a
difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something
worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel
appreciated and special.


5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your
life are not the ones with the most credentials, the
most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that
CARE.

~ A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN D E A T H ~

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

**God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.**

36 CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may
happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it
does happen, you have to worry twice."

1. Pray 
2. Go to bed on time. 
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 
4. Say No  to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will
compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others. 
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time;
don't lump the hard things all together. 
10. Take one day at a time. 
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what
God would have you do and let go of the anxiety.  If you can't do anything
about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in
the garden, extra stamps, etc. 
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an
enormous amount of trouble. 
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday. 
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations. 
22. Every day, find time to be alone. 
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the
bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try  and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people. 
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand. 
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between 
despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus." 
27. Laugh. 
28. Laugh some more!  
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. 
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). 
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most. 
32. Sit on your ego. 
33. Talk less; listen more. 
34. Slow down. 
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager  of the universe 
36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've
never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) 

 

 

Fw: GOODNIGHT KISS

 

"GOODNIGHT KISS"

I count it as a privilege, I count it cause for praise

To kiss my children goodnight at the close of everyday.

For I know too soon they're up and gone, and walking out the door

And I'll never have a child to kiss goodnight any more.

It's very strange how times have changed from the present to the past. 

When did they grow so quickly the time has flown so fast.

For it seems like only yesterday I helped him with his shirt,
Or pat my baby on the back, or kissed away a hurt.

Tell a story, read a book, wipe a nose, or tie a shoe.
They never ask me to rub their backs the way they used to do.

Once it was a  bother, just a troublesome kind of chore.
But now I would give anything to do it just once more.

Mommy, bounce me on your knee, Daddy, flip me in the air.
Throw a rubber ball to me and help me comb my hair.

Mommy, tickle my tummy... Daddy hold me high.
Lets go outside, for a while, or make a kite to fly...

I count it as a privilege I count it cause for praise

To kiss my children goodnight at the close of everyday.

For I know too soon they're up and gone and walking out the door

And I'll never have a child to kiss goodnight anymore!

Fw: Before i was a mom...

 

Before I was a Mom

I made and ate hot meals.

I had unstained clothing.

I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom I slept as late as I wanted.

And never worried about how late I got into bed.

I brushed my hair and my teeth every day.

Before I was a Mom I cleaned my house each day.

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.

Before I was a Mom I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunisations.

Before I was Mom I had never been puked on, Pooped on,

Spat on, Chewed on, Peed on, Or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom I had complete control of my mind,

My thoughts. My body,  And my time.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child,

So that doctors could do tests, or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because.

I didn't want to put it down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces.

When I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom I had never risen in the middle of the night . Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment,

Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom!
