Not Your Body


 I agree that a woman should have control over her body.

But here is the problem...

That baby? It isn't your body. It is his or her body. Yes, it is a body that is CONNECTED to your body. And yes, it RESIDES in your body.

But it is NOT your body. That baby is a human being in a different body.

That human being deserves life. So do what you want with YOUR body, but understand that your baby is not you.

Psalm 139:13-16 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be."

Magic Bank Account


 THE MAGIC  BANK  ACCOUNT 

THE AUTHOR IS UNKNOWN.  THIS WAS FOUND IN THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL BEAR BRYANT, ALABAMA, AFTER HE DIED IN 1982.

The Magic Bank Account 

Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest:  Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use.  However, this prize has rules: 

The set of rules are:


1.  Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you. 

2.  You may not simply transfer money into some other account. 

3.  You may only spend it. 

4.  Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day. 

5.  The bank can end the game without warning.  At any time it can say, “Game Over!"  It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.  

What would you personally do?

You would probably buy anything and everything you wanted right?  Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for.  Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?  You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?

ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ... Shocked?  YES! 

Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*.  We just can't seem to see it.  The PRIZE is *TIME*.

1:  Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life. 

2.  When we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

3.  What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.

4.  Yesterday is forever gone.

5.  Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?  Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.  Think about it and remember to enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.   Take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!   

Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day.  Start “spending”.

DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD!  SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE PRIVILEGE!

Queen Elizabeth



 This Poem was written by one of our friends and love it so thought we would share it with you all too..... ♥︎♥︎♥︎

{Shared By: Austin’s Cafe}

 Paddington sat down  sadly 

On a green and quiet glade 

And pulled a sandwich from his  little hat 

Made With the nicest marmalade 


He had heard sad news this very day 

That the Queen's life had come to an end 

He cried because that day they met  

She had become his bestest  friend 


They had shared some tea 

That very day when  to the Palace he had been invited 

He  remembered he could hardly speak 

He was so very very excited 


He offered her his sandwich 

Made with such love and care 

She smiled at him and with a grin 

She showed that little bear 


That inside of her handbag 

There was something she had made 

And that She too kept a  special sandwich 

Made of  the finest marmalade 


Although he was  just a  little bear 

And she a regal queen 

Watching her take that sandwich out her bag 

Was the best thing he had seen 


He wondered if any body else would miss her 

Now that she had gone 

And his heart was filled up to the brim 

When he turned his little phone on 


He saw that Facebook had been flooded

With  her pictures old and new 

And that he himself that little bear 

Was also in them too 


Although today he is the saddest 

That he has ever been 

He will always lovingly  remember 

The  day he had tea with the Queen
