Happiness is...

Soul Food

This was my devotion for today. It's just what I needed so I thought I would share it with the world.

"The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul." Psalm 121:7

Under Thy wings, my God, I rest,

Under Thy shadow safely lie;

By Thy own strength in peace possessed,

While dreaded evils pass me by.

A.L. Waring

A heart rejoicing in God delights in all His will, and is surely provided with the most firm joy in all estates; for if nothing can come to pass beside or against His will, then cannot that soul be vexed which delights in Him, and hath no will but His, but follows Him in all times, in all estates; not only when He shines bright on them, but when they are clouded.

That flower which follows the sun doth so even in dark and cloudy days: when it doth not shine forth, yet it follows the hidden course and motion of it. So the soul that moves after God keeps that course when He hides His face; is content, yea, even glad at His will in all estates or conditions or events.

- R. Leighton

Let God do with me what He will, anything He will; whatever it be, it will be either heaven itself or some beginning of it.

- Wm. Mountford

too cute for words

Prego Progress

Jode (and Felicity) came to visit me at work today! Totally made my boring day exciting!!
Just look how cute she is!!!

Em says she looks like she swallowed a watermelon.

Aaron told her that her legs look very skinny (which made her day!) What a nice hubby.

A kid that came in my store pointed at Jode's belly and said "What's that!?"

If you ask me, I think she's the most beautiful pregnant person I've ever seen!!!

Felicity, you have a great momma!!

(3 days to go!!)

Brilliant advertising

So I was reading the phone book today and came across this helpful ad:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

HOW TO CHOOSE A

BIRTHDAY CARD

if you can't read.

Have the clerk point you to the right section.

*

Look for a picture of a cake.

*

Say you forgot your glasses

and have someone read you the verse.

*

Hope you haven't chosen an anniversary card.

This yellowpage ad measures 1 3/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches and is followed by an 877# to call if you have interest in becoming a volunteer for LVA (Literacy Volunteers of America.)

I found the ad helpful, but I feel sorry for the illiterate people who for some reason pick up a phone book in search of some help with picking out an appropriate greeting card and finally get to the "V" section of the yellow pages when they somehow discover the ad they've been searching for, only to end their quest in frustration with the original reason their search began in the first place.
