soup book


I guess I wouldn't expect to find such a thought as I did in a library
book about soup.
I think the best place to find quotes must NOT be from quote books.



"Until lions have their own historians,
tales of the hunt
will always glorify the hunter."

Handy isn't it?
To tell a story about something,
and the object of the story is now a rug or
a wall decoration.
It is a true thing........
if you only have one side of a story,
then you don't have the whole story.
I can't think of a time when it's good to make decisions and silly statements....
when you only have part of the truth.
It's a handy thing to look like a brave mighty hunter
because you
KNOW
that nobody will ever know how much you ran and how scared you were.

Stretch the truth and it becomes a lie,
and those that were not there for the hunt,
will never know.

Things mounted to a wall............
or people that don't get a chance to speak...........
have something to say, too.



Ephesians 5:15
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.

How many times are called on to judge a matter,
when we only know PART of the matter?
And how many times are we glad to do so?

Get both sides
or stay out of it.
Both sides matter...........and sometimes it is impossible to get both.
But it's always possible to be charitable.
and quiet.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
