~~FEMININE MATTERS~~

Enough To Make A Mommy Cry?

~~A puppy walks through blue food coloring that her toddler pours on the floor, then treks it all across the newly-laid carpet

~~The toilet overflows just as the realtor rings the doorbell with prospective clients to view her house.

~~As she carries in her groceries, her toddlers find the eggs and scramble them in the middle of the kitchen floor.   

Or, how about this:  her three-year-old (who is supposedly coloring quietly), is found holding a pair of scissors she's climbed up onto a chair and found in a drawer that mom put out of reach.  The toddler's long honey-brown hair lay at her feet.  Yeah.  These are some things enough to make a mommy cry.  How about you?  Have anything bring tears to your eyes lately?  selahV   

MUST I REALLY DRINK 96 OUNCES?

So I'm trying to lose weight without running or walking 3 miles a day.  Don't tell me it can't be done because the doctor says it can be done.  I've cut my calorie intake to 1,200 calories a day.  I'm doing Robotics, which is machine operated exercising in which you resist the way the machine is going and thereby tone muscles and lose inches.  (Yes, you can believe those commercials.  I've met some of the ladies who have lost 45 inches.  Can't imagine how big they use to be.)

I don't really like the fact that I must drink so much water, however, I'm finding the more water I drink, the more water I want.  And that leads me to another thought:

The more of Jesus I receive, the more I drink from His well of living water, the more I want of Him and Him alone.  So just as the more water I drink will help me shrink, the more of Jesus I absorb, the less of me there will be.  Kinda neat when you think about it, huh?  [copyrighted, SelahV Today, 2008]
