Girl Stuff





Girlfriends know just when to offer chocolate.





Girlfriends agree that cake has no calories.





Girlfriends know you're always right.



Girlfriends will go out on a limb for each other.

Pancakes Anyone?



Six year old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes. He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on the floor.

He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.

Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad.

He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on the stove (and he didn't know how the stove worked!).

Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor.

Frantically he tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his! pajamas white and sticky.

And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess.

He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just watched him. Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process.

That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a friend or we can't stand our job or our health goes sour. Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do.

That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him.

But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes," for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll be glad we tried...

Pennies From Heaven

I found a penny today Just laying on the ground, But it's not just a penny This little coin I've found.



Angels put them there, That's what my Grandpa told me, He said Angels toss them down. Oh, how I loved that story.



He said when an Angel misses you They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up To make a smile out of your frown.



So don't pass by that penny When you're feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven That an Angel's tossed to you.

"Point of View"



I've heard it said, "Don't go to bed While hanging on to sorrow. You may not have the chance to laugh With those you love tomorrow."

You may not mean the words you speak When anger takes its toll. You may regret your actions Once you've lost your self control.

When you've lost your temper And you've said some hurtful things, Think about the heartache That your action sometimes brings.

You'll never get those moments back, Such precious time to waste, And all because of things you said In anger and in haste.

So if you're loving someone And your pride has settled in, You may not ever have the chance To say to them again,

"I love you and I miss you And although we don't agree, I'll try to see your point of view, Please do the same for me."

Kids will be Kids...

There was a teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots on?

He asked for help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the right feet.

He then announced, "These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill- fitting boots off.

He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them." She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said,"I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."
