I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
~George Best

I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.
~Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005)

You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?
~George Bernard Shaw

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
~Mark Twain

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
~Vincent van Gogh

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember,
you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

I Found the Cutest Video this Morning of a Kitty eating Watermelon!
I Hope this Link Works:

CAT EATING WATERMELON

[JustAmy]

I will be AWOL the rest of the day.

I have some checks to get in today’s mail; also trying to get stuff together for a family yard sale. It is being planned for June 2nd.

I have sooo much stuff that I need to get out of my house and my garage.

Wishing everyone a Marvelous Monday.

[jaycee]

How utterly precious, Kitty! I didn’t know cats would eat
watermelon!!

Gotta run out (well, walk gingerly..LOL) for a few minutes
and I’ll get back later!

[jaycee]

Kitty, I especially wanted to come back to say “thank you”
for your sweet comments on Braelyn and her daddy. Someday
when those trying times come and they always come, he will
remember the sweetness of this innocent time with his little
girl.

I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful Monday. When I go out
for errands, I am worn out and when I get back and have lunch
and a nap the day is gone. I’m not worth much after going
out.

[jaycee]

Oooops~~~~meant to tell you what a cute Monday graphic
you posted! ((((Kitty))))

[jaycee]

I’m going to Texas to share in Meg’s chocolates....how about
that? LOLOL~~~

Just joking but they sure do make my mouth water...yum-o!

[jaycee]

Lovely opening, ladies, and yes, “We Can Dream”. Its very
important to dream.

I sure enjoyed all the quotes, too! I always learn a little
from quotes! Thank you all!

[The Mayor]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Meg!!!! I have been so busy I missed it.

[yorkie]

Kitty - the link worked perfectly! But - the kitty did not spit out the seeds.........Hope a watermellon doesn’t grow in her tummy! LOL

[Kitty Mittens]

Someday when those trying times come and they always come, he will remember the sweetness of this innocent time with his little girl.

Amen, Dear FRiend, and he will Cherish that Picture with All his Heart.
God Bless them as they Walk Together through the Years, through All the Wonderful, Love-Filled Days Ahead.
Our Lord Bring them Many Blessings, through is Love,
And Treasure them Always in the Palm of His Hand.

(((((Hugs and Love in Christ, Sweet Jaycee)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

Lol, I Noticed that, too, and had Thought of the Seedless Watermelons while I was Watching it.

(((((Hugs and Prayers, Sweet Yorkie!)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

Goodnight, Dear FRiends, and Sweet Dreams.

(((((Love you All)))))

Fear Not
May 22, 2012

My wife became seriously ill during her pregnancy with our second child. As the doctors struggled to find the problem, she continued to grow weaker—dangerously so.

Watching her suffer was a helpless and horrible feeling for me, and there were days when it felt as if God were not hearing our prayers. One Sunday, while I was looking for comfort from Scripture, my eyes landed on the first verse in Isaiah 43.

“Fear not,” it begins, and ends with “you are Mine.” Instantly, the Holy Spirit made the words personal. The intimate way God addresses Israel reminded me of His always-present attention to us too: “When you pass through the waters . . . through the rivers . . . through the fire” (v.2). Each phrase rose up in crescendo, from the pages to my heart.

Our comfort in that hour came not from promises of healing or miracles, but from knowing we were never alone. We had many other frightening times, including just after Ethan’s birth, when it looked as if both he and Cheryl would be lost. But God had used His words to comfort us and prepare us for those harder moments!

Let these words be a reminder to you that you are never alone.

At times our fears may loom so large,
We long for proof that God is near;
It’s then our Father says to us,
“Have faith, My child, and do not fear.” —D. De Haan

Never forget in the darkness, what you know to be true in the light.

Read: Isaiah 43:1-4

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. —Isaiah 43:1

Bible in a Year:
Job 28-31
