From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded

"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from
the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke
12:48)

I came across this verse and wanted to post it because it holds such a powerful message. We are held accountable for how we use everything we are blessed with, our money, our homes, our jobs and our businesses and most importantly our "time".

When you think about it that is an awesome responsibility. Then end result of the above is...the more you give...the more you will receive of any of those things listed above. So then it is an blessed endless circle right?

Kennedy and I planted some seeds and I debated whether to plant the whole pack or not, so what the heck the whole pack was planted and a whole pack of little plants showed up, so it's just like that the more you plant or put in the more you will get back.

Play!!!

Today Kaci, Kennedy and Gabrielle came over to swim, the water is still so cold. Poor Gabrielles lips were blue, it didn't bother Kennedy any. Then they took a bath and we played store/grocery shopping. That's what's great about having grandkids you get to play again. I used to play with Chris and Kaci all of the time and when they got too big, I babysat a couple of little girls and still got to play.If you haven't tried it you should. Today I was the checker at the store, Kennedy shopped the store and Gabrielle grabbed everything she put in her buggy. Well, the things you can teach by playing right? Gabrielle took all the money from the cash register and was running out of the room with it(little thief). Kennedy started screaming at her like she had killed someone. What's a grocery checker to do, but call Security. So I called, SECURITY!!!, SECURITY!!, STOP the little girl running out of the store with all the cash register money!!! Kennedy looked at me, like WHAT?? MiMi is really into this, right? Then she cracked up laughing, and of course Gabrielle had to stop and laugh too like she knew what was going on. So Kennedy forgot all about screaming at Gabrielle and Gabrielle decided that she like the money better in the cash register slot!! That's it, problem solved and fight stopped. It's not always that easy though but we have fun anyway.
so, play, play, play every chance you get.
luv and hugs,

What's wrong with this picture??????

I haven't been very good at keeping this blogging up. I think Beth, you are the only one that reads it, unless maybe some of my friends are reading and they don't want to sign up so they can leave comments. SIGN IN so I know Ya'll are looking at this, people!!
Everything is going good over here, still working on the pool, I told David today, I'm really getting tired of all this construction and I'm worn out from watching him work, LOL!
I was reading this backpacker magazine today and they had all of these unbelievable cool, light backpacks rated, hiking boots rated, tents and hiking clothes and all this high tech crap like a jackets with GPS's.
Well, it dawned on me why the heck did my son in 140 degree heat have to wear these antiquated, heavy black boots (with no arch supports) and lug around this humongous backpack that weighed 75lbs and wear this unbelievable heavy clothing in this unbearable climate. Why can't our government get their act together and get these guys some updated gear like these recreational backpackers have to make their life easier when they are riding around patrolling in unairconditioned bradley fighting vehicles? This is crazy.
So I'm going to find out, I'm going to write to every Senator, Representative, Governor to bitch about just this one thing.
Okay I've got that off my chest, I'll stop.
Tomorrow I promise I'll have a more positive attitude.
luv and hugs,
Pam
