A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!**
1.*Don't change horses until they stop running.*
2.*Strike while the bug is close.*
3.*It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time.*
4.*Never underestimate the power of termites.*
5.*You can lead a horse to water but how?*
6.*Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.*
7.*No news is impossible*
8.*A miss is as good as a Mr.*
9.*You can't teach an old dog new Math*
10.*If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning.*
11.*Love all, trust me.*
12.*The pen is mightier than the pigs.*
13.*An idle mind is the best way to relax.*
14.*Where there's smoke there's pollution.*
15.*Happy the bride who gets all the presents.*
16.*A penny saved is not much.*
17.*Two's company, three's The Musketeers.*
18.*Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.*
19.*Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you have to blow your nose.*
20.*There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder.*
21.*Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded.*
22.*If at first you don't succeed, get new batteries.*
23.*You get out of something only what you see in the picture on the box*
24.*When the blind lead the blind get out of the way.*
25.*A bird in the hand is going to poop on you.*
*And the WINNER and last one!*
26.*Better late than pregnant*

Birthday Cards
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, April 01, 2008I like sending greeting cards to my family and friends in the Philippines during special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. It's a good way to keep in touch with them and also showing them that I always remember them. When I was working at the base, I used to buy greetings cards at the BX. I'm not working no more and I don't drive so I can't go to the store to buy some cards to send to my loved ones. But I will just order birthday cards online at Cards Direct. This site is known for serving businesses who want to print out their own business greeting cards and customize them with their company logo or standard blurb. I believe that stay-at-home moms will consider purchasing from CardsDirect because it's less hassle to do it. They just go online and purchase it by box so when they will need to send cards to their friends and loved ones, they will just address and sign it. It's not easy to go out shopping for cards if moms have kids to take care of. One good thing about the cards in this site is that they can be personalized. I received some personalized cards last Christmas and I've been wanting to order cards like those. So I guess I've found the store where I can order personalized cards.
I really like their cards in this site and the card that caught my eye is the Gerbera Daisies Happy Birthday Card. I think this is so beautiful!
Answered Prayers
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, April 01, 2008A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea
and only two of the me n on it were able
to swim to a small, desert like island.
The two survivors, not knowing what else to do,
agree that they had no other recourse
but to pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful,
they agreed to divide the territory between them
and stay on opposite sides of the island.
The first thing the first man prayed for was food.
The next morning, the first man saw
a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land,
and he was able to eat its fruit.
The other man's parcel of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man was lonely
and he decided to pray for a wife.
The next day, another ship was wrecked,
and the only survivor was a woman
who swam to his side of the land.
On the other side of the island,
there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house,
clothes, more food.
The next day, like magic,
all of these were given to him.
However,
the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship,
so that his wife and he could leave the island.
In the morning, he found a ship docked
at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife
and decided to leave the second man on the island.
He considered the other man unworthy
to receive God's blessings,
since none of his prayers had been answered.
As the ship was about to leave,
the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming,
'Why are you leaving your companion on the island?'
'My blessings are mine alone,
since I was the one who prayed for them,'
the first man answered.
'His prayers were all unanswered,
and so he does not deserve anything.'
'You are mistaken!'
the voice rebuked him.
'He had only one prayer,
which I answered.
If not for that, you would not have
received any of my blessings.'
'Tell me ,' the first man asked the voice,
'what did he pray for that I
should owe him anything?'
'He prayed that all your prayers be answered.'
For all we know, our blessings are not
the fruits of our prayers alone,
but those of another praying for us.
When Jesus died on the cross
he was thinking of you and me!
