Teenager For Sale


I read this today over at Blessed and thought it was hilarious. You see it is now Sunday afternoon, and there is a chore at our home which was supposed to be done yesterday by our teenagers, it is not yet done...the teenagers made a request to go somewhere, we said no...and quite a few of these exchanges went forth. If you have a teenager, you will love this. If you don't have a teenager yet, prepare your sense of humor, it will help you get through "challenging" times!

Why? Because we said so.

How come? Because we love you.

Why are you and Dad so strict? We're sorry you feel that way.

Why don't you trust me? It's not you we don't trust.

Brittany is going, why can't I? We'd tell Brittany “no” too, if we were her parents.

You don't want me to have fun. Yes, that's it.

You don't care about me. You've found us out.

Are you trying to make my life miserable? You've uncovered our dastardly plan!

You and Dad aren't like other parents, you are way too old fashioned. What can we say, we're overachievers.

Are you trying to ruin my teenage years? How did you guess? Your dad and I wake up thinking of ways to ruin your life.






...and this is why animals eat their young.

  1. LOL! I remember telling Kristyn once if my not letting her go to a party (that was not for her to go to) still bothered her when she was 30 I'd arrange therapy for her.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
