Happy Valentine's Day♥

A little bit of 'love' wisdom goes a long way.

-Where love is there God is.

-We may give without loving but we can't love without giving.

- Work is love made visible.

-Love cannot be wasted. It makes no difference where it is
bestowed, it always brings in big returns.

-Love is not like soft water, it is hard like a rock...

-It is in loving, not in being loved, the heart is blessed...

Things learned in 2011

2011 is over, but oh, the things I’ve learned. I want to thank my friends for all the educational e-mails I received over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of Trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet.

I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS for the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that I seal. Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to those chain letters, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of concerned Internet friends, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains! I can’t imagine what it’s doing to my stomach!

I no longer buy fuel without taking someone along to watch the car, so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.

I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer. And, it’s good to know that I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer go to the cinema because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

I no longer go to shopping centers because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a huge phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

AND THANKS TO MORE GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up a dime dropped in the parking lot because it was probably placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

If you don't share this information with at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor’s ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's best friend's beautician.

Oh, and by the way, if you should receive an email with this advice, you should know, a German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.It's to late to correct it now so don't worry about it.

P. S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet.

I thank my sister-in-law for sharing this information with me.I laughed myself silly when I read it. I bet you did, too. Remember, if you laugh too hard your teeth will fall out. Mine feel a little loose, I Should probably call my dentist.

I leave with this note, a Connism, if you will, do not be conformed to the things of this world. Place your confidence in Jesus Christ, He’ll protect us from every wind doctrine. (Ephesians 4:14).

HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY IF YOU CAN.

February - The Love Month

It’s February already! There’s something about the month of February that I like. I’m not sure what it is, if it’s the fact that in the next few days I’ll have another grandson to wrestle with or if it’s February 14^th – Valentine’s Day!

I’m most certain that February, the birth month of grandson number two will always be special; after all we’ll be celebrating a new life. And what’s not to love about Valentine’s Day? (Wouldn’t it be cool if baby Asher were born on February 14^th?) I know there are people out there who think Valentine’s Day is just another Hallmark holiday but I kind of like the idea of a day set aside to honor ‘love’. After all, the Bible has a lot to say about love:

“…love your neighbor as yourself.” Lev. 19:18; James 4:7

“A friend loves at all times.” Prov,. 17:17

“…there’s a time to love…” Eccles:3:8

“…love your enemies.” Matt. 5:44; Luke 6:27

“...let us love another.” I John 4:7

“…love the Lord your God with all of your heart…” Deut. 6:5

I could go on and on. The important thing to remember this Valentine’s Day, and any day for that matter, is that God is love and that love is from God. Therefore in love we should serve one another. Happy Valentine’s Day my friends and God bless the little men in my life! (Jeremiah and his brother-to-be, Asher.) February 2012 is definitely worth celebrating!
