One of my boys was complaining after school one day because
the P.E. Teacher had them play a game different than they
had played before. This game is played by tucking a piece
of rope in the back of your pants so that it drags on
the ground by about 4 inches. The object is to step on
each others rope without loosing your own. They had played
on the entire field and it was fun. But this time, she
had them play in a small area without any room to move
around. This made it frustrating and he could not see
the point of it.
I explained that she was trying to teach them that our
surroundings and circumstances were not always going to
be the same and that they needed to cope and deal with
the changes.
Sometimes
figuring out a way to be happy in a frustrating situation
is not always easy. Our lives can't be fun all the time
and we usually end up learning from the trials we have.

I
can remember in math class, not understanding why it was
important to know how long it took a person to get to
the store if they drove 20 miles per hour and the store
was 30 miles away. I would never know that person or be
in that town. Now
I can explain to my kids that these kinds of problems
help us to figure out other problems later in life. It's
the principle of reasoning that they are learning and
how important that is for their future.
Look
back at your life and try to find something you learned
as a child or youth, that has helped you as an adult,
and be thankful for it.

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car both could
barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along,
they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they
just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought
to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we
just went through a red light". After a few more minutes,
they came to another intersection and the light was red again.
Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat
was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned
that she was losing it. She was getting nervous and decided
to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and
they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and
said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three
red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred
turned to her and said, "Oh crap, am I driving?"

WOMEN
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe
there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends
get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are
strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all SIZES, in all colors
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much
they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women
have a lot to say and a lot to give.

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads
are wet and slick. Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from
her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm thinking of
something." This announcement usually meant she had been
pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound
all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to
hear. "What are you thinking?" I asked. "The
rain;" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away." After the chill
bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. "That's really
good, Aspen." Then my curiosity broke in. How far would
this little girl take this revelation? So I asked... "Do
you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell
you?" Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

Moving
Rocks
A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in
his sandbox. He had with him his box of cars and trucks, his
plastic pail, and a shiny, red plastic shovel. In the process
of creating roads and tunnels in the soft sand, he discovered
a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy
dug around the rock, managing to dislodge it from the dirt.
With a little bit of struggle, he pushed and nudged the rock
across the sandbox by using his feet. (He was a very small
boy, and the rock was very large.) When the boy got the rock
to the edge of the sandbox however, he found that he couldn't
roll it up and over the little wall.
Determined,
the little boy shoved, pushed, and pried, but every time he
thought he had made some progress, the rock tipped and then
fell back into the sandbox. The little boy grunted, struggled,
pushed, & shoved; but his only reward was to have the
rock roll back, smashing his chubby fingers.
Finally
he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy's
father watched from his living room window as the drama unfolded.
At the moment the tears fell, a large shadow fell across the
boy and the sandbox. It was the boy's father. Gently but firmly
he said,
"Son,
why didn't you use all the strength that you had available?"
Defeated,
the boy sobbed back,
"But
I did, Daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!"
"No,
son," corrected the father kindly.
"You
didn't use all the strength you had. You didn't ask me."
With that
the father reached down, picked up the rock and removed it
from the sandbox.
Do you
have "rocks" in your life that need to be removed?
Are you discovering that you don't have what it takes to lift
them? There is One who is always available to us and willing
to give us the strength we need. Isn't it funny how we try
so hard to do things ourselves.
