A Cheerful Heart

I'm blessed to have some wonderful and loving friends and family.
Good friends Paul and Sue Kapusniak, knowing I've not been feeling well, sent me a thoughtful card . I would like to share some of the contents of the card with my blog friends.

Definitions:
Beauty Parlour: A place where women curl up and dye.
Committee: A body that keeps minutes and wastes hours.
Egotist: Someone who is usually me-deep in conversation.
Handkerchief: Cold Storage.
Secret: Something you tell to one person at a time.
Toothache: The pain that drives you to extraction.


Ego Ramblings:

I have kleptomania , but when it gets bad, I take something for it.
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
I am nobody, Nobody is perfect. Therefore I am perfect.


In Memoriam:

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry Laprise the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left foot in. And then the trouble started.


"A cheerful heart is good medicine"
Proverbs 15:15

Avoid every kind of evil 1- Thess.5:22 (My radical view of movies)

I'm really exposing myself on this topic. I don't expect anyone to agree with me , but I am being honest and sincere. This is how I feel about movies. 1-Real social interaction- When you have family and friends over isn't it nice to visit,listen and talk to each other or play games and interact, making memories along the way as opposed to watching a screen for hours and saying "Shh, Shh" every time someone tries to converse with you? 2- Movies are my right eye a) sex- Over the years of raising young children many times people have said "It's a great movie, but don't let your kids watch it"....My kids? my kids? What about me? Is it really a good thing for me to watch Hollywood's beautiful and sexy stars enticing the audience the way only Hollywood knows how to do it? (They do it very well, I might add) Matthew 5:28-29 (New International Version) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adu...

"Opportunity" by Berton Bradley

After raising three boys I find I'm always telling , not just them , but there friends too,how great it "used to be ". My parents always did the same as they spoke about the "good old days" . Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past . This is not good for the next generation ,who have there whole lives stretched out before them. When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...
