This one ranks right up there with the best of the best.........
A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

The Quilt
3:09 PM | 1 Comments
My granny makes quilts for all of her grandchildren when they graduate from high school. I can't believe I haven't thought about taking pictures and showing off this beautiful quilt she made for me almost 9 years ago.
Instead of having a pattern to it, she decided use bonnets and portray the different aspects of my life. There is the church, which is the center of my world, and my heart. Throughout the whole quilt, there is a scene representing when I raised a pig and a heifer, my first car, cooking, taking care of kids, reading, graduating... it is amazing at how accurate she got in all of the things that are important to me. This is something that I will always treasure and will soon put up and not use as much in order to save it so that my children will be able to see it.
One other important part of this quilt: My grandfather "Bappaw", helped her quilt this. My Aunt Laura, one of my favorite aunts, also helped to quilt. As I continue to step through the different stages of life, I love to sit and wrap this quilt around me, and think about all of the wonderful memories that are woven into it.
I was, and still am, in awe in how much love, sweat, and time went into this project..and she did it all to see me smile! I am truly blessed.

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on .. Not from his head to be superior ... but from the side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved." I got this from a friend's facebook status. I love this!!!

Things I learned in 2009
6:18 PM | 0 Comments
So, here starts the list of things I have learned.
1. I think the number one thing that I have learned this year is that there are still people in the world that care for those that are hurting. There may be a lot of immoral, high profile people in the world, but when it counts, and tragic things happen, you find out who has what it takes to be a friend. When David died, Sarah went through a wave of emotions that no one will ever be able to comprehend. I saw and felt the love of people that had no clue who Sarah, or David was. The love and outpouring of emotion was wonderful!
2. The second thing that I learned is that assuming things lead to a few tears and ruined friendships. Unfortunately, I had to learn this one the hard way. I went through a few months of stupid, pointless emotional trash that was completely unnecessary and completely avoidable. I hope to use this lesson in the future.
3. On that note, the third thing I learned this year is that although you may think that something is wonderful and exactly what you want, what God has in store in so much better.
4. I am where I am supposed to be right now. Although life is sometimes difficult, I really feel that I am doing what I am supposed to do. It is hard sometimes to see my friends get married and have kids, living their life, their dream. But I find comfort in knowing that the harder something is to achieve, the greater the reward is.
5. I am constantly amazed and in awe of the ways that God takes care of me. Through all the late nights, empty bank accounts, negative thoughts and tears (oh, there were many, many tears!), I made it through the year stronger and more confident in my abilities.
