Quote of the day--try this it really works.

	The only way to worry about nothing is to pray about everything. - Unknown

Love this! From the Brave Girls Club.

Dear Overwhelmed Girl,

Do you have the completely irrational belief that so many of us have that
you can be everything to everyone....especially to those that you love? Do
you believe it’s your job to keep them all happy, to help them with everything
that they are struggling with and to then go out and save the world in your
free time?

Do you over commit and then beat yourself up when you under-deliver?

Are there a million things on your list that were really really important that
you didn’t even get to because you got caught up in doing things that weren’t
nearly AS important?

Ok now.....take a deep breath. Now...take another one. One more.

Remember that you are wonderful. You are loved.....and, phenomenal friend...
amazing woman.........you are a human being. You DO have limitations and it is
totally ok for you to say no sometimes....lots of times. In fact, it is essential.

When you don’t stop to rest....to think....to recharge....to remember....
to restore.....you end up grouchy, tired, uncreative, angry and numb to lots of
life. You are a sparkling, beautiful girl and we need that sparkle.....so STOP
today and make a list....prioritize it...be realistic. Say no to at least 3
things today..........practice.

Say yes to yourself....to joy...to rest....to being 100% present to the things
that matter most to you..instead of a tired and diluted version who has too much
to do to ever do her best at ANYTHING. Don’t lose yourself while you are trying to
be everything to everyone....

If at all possible....only have enough on your plate that you can do your best at
everything you have to do.......your life will take on new meaning and happiness.

Just practice...this is a hard one, but so worth it. Hang in there......you are loved!

Mommy and Me class was so much fun.

We had the Mommy and Me class on Saturday and it was so fun.  The kids and adults too, made fun flower barrettes, hats, coozies, hairbands and decorations with a frog and the saying Leap for the Lord! 

I will post pictures of the project soon.

Something to think about

	Quote of the Day I can't believe that God  put us on this earth to be ordinary. - Lou Holtz

Happy Mother's Day!

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;

They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils

Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,

Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough

Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what

The vacuum just sucked up....

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'

And get their answer when a little

Voice says, 'Because I love you best..'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth

Is not measured by height or years or grade...

It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother........

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn’t know everything!

14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn’t have a clue.

.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom...

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair..

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she

Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

I hope your day is blessed with much love and some time to spend on YOU!

You are special and deserve to be praised today!
