Who Walks Into Your Life ?

Post 418 ~ ~ ~ Monday, 3rd March, 2008.

Hi Everyone ~~ I hope the world is treating you nicely as it is
me. A warmer day, but I don't think we will get any more very
hot weather. Soon I will be complaining about the cold.
Yesterday, I cooked a heap of Roast Lamb dinners with the
usual vegetables. I always add a piece of corn on each meal.

Today, I rang a man who cleans spouting/ gutters and he came
after lunch and did that job and also whipper snipped down the
side of the house that never gets seen, but I don't like long grass.
He also took some rubbish away on his trailer, so I was very
pleased to get those things done. Very reasonably too.

My friend Barbara sent me this short item. Thank you Barbara.

Who Walks Into Your Life ?

The first sentence is pretty powerful. !!!

God determines who walks into your life . . . . it's up to you to
decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you
refuse to let go. If you'll say this little prayer for me,
I'll do it for you.

God, please bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know
they may be needing this day. And may their lives be full of
your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a
closer relationship with you.
Amen.

Pass this on to other people and within hours, you have
caused a multitude of people to pray for each other. Then
sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.

Thank you for being in my life, my friends.
<><>

Barbara also sent me this clever little puzzle for Smart
people.

See if you can figure out what these words have in common.

Potato
Revive
Uneven

In all the words listed, if you take the first letter, place
it at the end of the word, and then spell backwards, and
it will be the same word.

Did you figure it out ?

These were posted on an Australian Tourism Website,

officials, who obviously have a sense of humour.

One from Robyn ~ Thanks Robyn.

If you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before
getting the facts and thinking things through, you'll
love this one.

A large company, feeling it was time for a shake-up hired
a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the
company of all slackers.

On a tour of facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning up
against the wall and asked, "How much money do you
make a week ?

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied,
"I make $400 a week. Why ?"

The CEO then handed him $1,600 in cash and screamed,
"Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the
room and asked, " Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-
ball did around here ?"

From across the room came a voice, "Pizza Delivery Guy
from Domino's."
<><>

On my first date with my boyfriend, I asked him if I could
hold his hand and he said, " I can manage, thank you. It's not
very heavy."
<><>

Adam in the Garden of Eden was getting rather tired of talking
to the plants and animals. "Couldn't I have another human to
talk to ?" he asked of God.

"Well I could create a woman."
"What's that ?" asked Adam.

"It's human, rather like a man, but she can pleasure you in many
ways. She can cook, clean, look after your every need and do
whatever you want her to do. She will never argur or nag.
With a woman you can have incredible sex whenever and
however you want. But in order to create such a woman I will
need to take two of your ribs, two toes and two fingers."

"Oh," said Adam. "That sounds rather a lot. What would I get
for just one rib ?"
<><>

The house was on fire. A woman appeared at the upstairs
window. She was clutching a baby and screaming, "My baby,
my baby. Save my baby."

"Throw the baby down to me," shouted a young man, I'll
catch him."
"You might drop him," shouted the woman.

"I'm a professional footballer," shouted the man. "I'm a
goal-keeper. I'm very good at catching. The baby will be
safe with me."

The woman threw down the baby to the young man who put all
his professional expertise into operation, and he expertly
caught the baby and then, unthinkingly, he kicked it over the
garden wall.
<><>

His son came to him and said, "Dad, I have some good news and
some bad news. You know you kindly lent me your car last
night? Well the good news is that the car's air bags work."
<><>

I knew it was going to be a plane flight with a difference when
a naked man rushed down the aisle shouting, "This is your
captain streaking . . . "
