Condoleezza Rice, in answer to some WHACKO /RUDE interviewer:

" I 've been black all my life, you don't have to tell me how to be black "...

Solid!

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Billy Graham

So true and also so often ignored!

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

Billy Graham

Reminds me of this little story:

"One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Thanksgiving in our hearts every day is indeed a wonderful thing to have!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!....

Good morning Russell and Ylisa7!

Good morning to both of you. I'm waiting for my coffee and barely alive, lol.

Sometimes we do forget to be thankful and each one of us truly has something to be thankful for everyday of our lives.



Here's a quote and I have often wondered why people ask for opinions about things when they really just want you to agree with them

"You know how advice is. You only want it if it agrees with what you wanted to do anyway."
John Steinbeck

Reminiscent of when I used to ask my husband : " Honey, do I look fat in this ? "
