What Part of the Fairytale Are You??

You Are the Castle

You are a bit of a homebody and even somewhat of a loner. You function best when you're all by yourself. Other people see you as mysterious and even a little scary. They don't understand how deep and complicated you are. You have many layers to your personality, and there is always a surprise waiting around the corner with you. You aren't as scary as you seem, but you are intense. You require people to confront things about themselves that they rather not know.

Inside Grandmothers Bible

You know you can find treasure in the most unique places.  I have one of my grandmothers bibles and inside the pages are faded and worn a good indication that they have been read and reread.  I also found a newspaper clipping from Ann Landers.  The following is the article:

________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Ann Landers: 

All my married life I've felt like a nobody because I was "only a housewife."  Today I read something that gave me a lift.

The home economics department of our state college published a leaflet in chart form.  It shows what a housewife is worth per week in dollars and cents on today's labor market.  Here it is:

Cooking, table setting, sewing, at $2.00 an hour........$50.00

Dish washing, at $1.25 an hour...................................  17.50

Child Care at $.50 and hour......................................  17.50

Routine housework, $1.25 an hour............................  22.50

Laundry, at $1.25 an hour ........................................    6.25

Ironing, at $1.25 an hour...........................................    6.25

The chart suggests adding 25% for miscellaneous work.  So the grand total is $150 a week.  On yearly basis a housewife is worth $7800.  Tonight when Mr. Greatheart comes home I'm going to greet him like a woman who earns almost $8,000 a year because that's what I am. ~ Ashamed no longer~

Dear Ashamed No Longer,

Housewives of America unite! Clip this column for your husband.

Count Your Blessings

Count Your BlessingsAuthor Unknown

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Count Your Blessings

Something that I don't do enough, not even nearly enough is count my blessings.  God has been so good to me and many times I seem to slap Him in the face and cry out when things aren't going exactly the way I want them too.  He has given me so much and all I seem to be saying is "GIVE ME MORE, LORD AND MAKE IT YESTERDAY".  I sound like the two year old in the store that everyone dreads to see or hear.  No patience, no love, no compassion  OH LORD I DO NEED HELP.  Maybe my prayer should be "Quite down fears, worries go to sleep.  I am going to Praise my Lord for what He has done for me!"
