Men and Women

TRYING TO MAKE A POINT...
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked,
"What?"

WHO'S THE IDIOT?...

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how
you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."

The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made
me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would
be attracted to you!

MEN CAN'T WIN THE ARGUMENT, EVER...

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, opened it and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says..."HEBREWS"

Most of you know we are the proud parents of a new granddaughter who was born last week. We were in the elevator with her 3 siblings (the oldest is 4 1/2), and we were discussing something about getting out of the elevator first. My husband told the oldest "Ladies first" meaning that him and Grandpa would get off last. My grandson said no Grandpaw, the Bible says the last shall be first. I laughed and told him that "someday the last will be first but today is Wednesday and the girls shall be first."

Speaking of Grandchildren....I have something for all parents to read:

To My Child

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles..
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by. Or an ICEE if you so desire.....
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys..
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day...

Marcy – Karen Hill’s sister, cancer, June 17 she received bad news from her CAT scan. She has finished the radiation, and back on chemo for 4 months. She has 4 tumors in her liver. They are not sure if the colon cancer spread to the liver (which is the most likely case) or if the pancreatic cancer spread to the liver (3 of the tumors are on the side the pancreas was on). There is really no way to tell at this time. It has been a tremendous shock for the entire family. She is still positive - but was rather depressed the 17th. Her husband is still in complete denial. She plans to finish her chemo but will not do radiation again. She needs to have surgery to remove the tumors, but she has lost so much weight, they cannot operate now and she is not sure she wants to go through another abdominal surgery (since she had 3 in 2 months time). If she does decide to have the surgery, it will be later on please ask the Lord to be with her and for her to feel His presence.
