“It seems I have spent a lifetime of mouthing mechanically, ‘Say thank you. Sit up straight. Use your napkin. Close your mouth when you chew. Don’t lean back in your chair.’ Just when I finally got my husband squared away, the kids came along.”
- Erma Bombeck
"Prayer is the vital breath of Christians; not the thing that makes us alive, but the evidence that we are alive."
- Oswald Chambers, Prayer - A Holy Occupation
A husband took his young daughter to the grocery store with him. In addition to the healthy items on the carefully prepared shopping list, they returned with a box of sugar-laden cookies.
The man noticed the glare of his wife and said, "This box of cookies has one-third fewer calories than usual."
"Why is that?" the mother asked.
"We ate a third of the cookies on the way home," he replied.
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month!
- Theodore Roosevelt
