THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE ANOTHER CHUCKLE OF TWO.. I SURE DID

It Was So Cold that:
We had to stop eating with metal cutlery. Some people walked around for days with spoons or forks stuck to their tongues!
Hitchhikers were holding up pictures of thumbs!
Roosters were rushing into Kentucky Fried Chicken and begging to use the pressure cooker!
When I dialed 911, a recorded message said to phone back in the spring!
The squirrels in the park were throwing themselves at an electric fence!
We had to chop up the piano for firewood - but we only got two chords.
When we milked the cows, we got ice cream!
When we milked the brown cows - we got chocolate ice cream!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They all bundled up,
into their warm winter gear.
A storm brewed outside,
as her kids burst into cheer.
But she was determined,
to get them to school,
Even if it meant,
they'd think she was cruel.
They stepped outside,
and saw the car covered in snow,
The kids all smiled,
their eyes began to glow.
She felt snow enter,
her left sock,
She decided,
they would all have to walk.
The kids weren't happy,
they just wanted to play.
So they threw a few snowballs,
right in her way.
Mom looked back,
with an evil frown,
She was outnumbered,
but she knew they'd go down.
She dove to her side,
behind a large tree,
Quickly made snowballs,
it was one against three.
and made three snowballs fly,
They hit their three targets,
straight from the sky.
All three kids were down,
and just looked up in awe.
A super-human lady,
their mother stood tall.
She laughed at her little,
prisoners of war,
They marched to school,
and were fearful of more.
They all wondered where,
she learned how to throw like that,
Before they were born,
she had a glove and a bat.

To Do List From God
I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.

“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,
“But something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.”
I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And you’ll have blessings more than you can know.”
So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and release—
Life with God is very, very good.
