Not flesh of my flesh

nor bone of my bone,

but still miraculously my own.

Be assured that if God waits longer than you wish, it is only to make the blessing all the more precious.

Never forget for a single minute,

that you grew not under my heart,

but in it.

Children are a gift from God;

they are His reward. -- Psalms 127:3

For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him. -- I Samuel 1:27

When they placed you in my arms,

you slipped into my heart

Our family tree has a new branch

Natural Child: a child who is not artificial.

Real Parent: a parent who is not imaginary.

Your Own Child: a child who is not

someone else's child.

Adopted Child: a natural child,

with a real parent, who is my own

Never forget for a single minute,

that you grew not under my heart,

but in it.

Parents hold their children's hands for a while,

their hearts forever.

When they placed you in my arms,

you slipped into my heart.

"Hand-Picked"

Family is where the love is!

Always be a little kinder than necessary.

Always carry something interesting to do.

An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

As you go through life...two rules never bend.

A good thing to remember,

and a better thing to do...

is work with the construction gang

and not the wrecking crew.

Advice is like castor oil,

easy to give but dreadful to take.

A wise person cares not for what he cannot have

but for what he can.

Always do right.

This will gratify some people

and astonish the rest. (Mark Twain)

when we already know the answer

but wish we didn't...

Be sure you are right, then go ahead.

Be yourself. Who else is better qualified ?

Keep them short and sweet...

because you'll never know

from day to day

which ones you'll have to eat !

Better to break your promise than doing worse in keeping it.

thy strength shall be according

to the measure of thy desire.

Don't spend money you haven't earned to buy things

you don't need....to impress people you don't like.

Don't let your sorrow come higher than your knees.

Don't take any wooden nickels.

Enjoy the little things in life,

for one day you may look back

and find they were the big things.

Find something to laugh about everyday...

Finished is better than perfect !

Friend, do not try to borrow combs from shaven monks.

Good things happen to those who wait...

It is better to look ahead and prepare

than to look back and regret.

It's better to die standing than to live kneeling! ! !

Just do what you do best.

Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Keep your words sweet...you never know when you'll have to eat them!

Learn from other's mistakes...rather than making them all yourself !

Learn from mistakes of others.

You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Look before you leap.

Live your beliefs and you can

turn the world around. (Henry David Thoreau)

Make yourself a better person

and know who you are before you try

and know someone else

and expect them to know you.

Make hay while the sun shines !

Make today something to smile about tomorrow...

Never whittle toward yourself

or pee against the wind.

Never argue with an idiot

They drag you down to their level,

then beat you with experience

with their ingenuity.

Only those who risk going too far

can possibly find out how far they can go.

The best way to save time...is to use it !

There are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.

The real art of conversation

is not only to say the right thing at the right time,

but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing

at the tempting moment.

To be thought wise...keep your mouth shut.

To thine own self be true.

Trust your hunches...

They're usually based on facts

filed away just below the conscious level.

The noblest revenge is to forgive.

Take Time To Enjoy The Simple Things

Use it up,

Wear it out,

Make it do,

Or do without.

Whatever is worth doing at all..is worth doing well !

When in doubt...tell the truth.

When in doubt...be vague.

When all else fails, panic !!!

A handful of patience

is worth more than a bushel of brains.

Anger is like a piece of shredded wheat

stuck in your dentures.

If you leave it there...then you'll get a sore

and have to eat Jello for a week.

But if you remove it....the sore...just like the anger will slowly but surely go away.

Be...instead of do !

Be just...and fear not !

Be pretty if you can,

witty if you must,

for that's what makes you unique.

Choose thy life...Love thy choice.

Develop yourself...before you develop others.

Do more than exist; live.

Do more than touch; feel.

Do more than look; observe.

Do more than read; absorb.

Do more than hear; listen.

Do more than listen; understand.

Do more than think; ponder.

Do more than talk; say something.

Do your best and leave the rest.

Don't live in the past....what's done is done.

Don't ask the question if you can't live with the answer!

Don't be afraid to strive to be first...

first to nod, first to smile, first to speak and first to

forgive.

the world owes you nothing;

it was here first. (Mark Twain)

Don't burn the bridges behind you.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Don't let what you cannot do....

interfere with what you can do.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Don't put the cart before the horse.

Don't cry over split milk.

Don't let your sorrow come higher than your knees.

Don't find fault...find a remedy.

Don't run your life in such a way...

that people will want your fingerprints...

instead of your autograph.

Don't try to hard,

the best things come

when you least expect them to.

Don't start anything on Saturday...you can't finish.

Encourage others...

Fear less, hope more;

Whine less, breathe more;

Talk less, say more;

Hate less, love more;

And all good things are yours.

Forgive a wrong and you'll surely confuse the person who did it...

Go to bed at nine o'clock twice a week.

He asks advice in vain who will not follow it.

Have character....don't be one!

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

I rather be hated for who I am

then to be loved for who I am not.

I can only show you to the door...

it's up to you to walk through it.

If all else fails...read the instructions.

If...if and buts were candy and nuts

we would all have a Merry Christmas !

If you are going to kill time...try working it to death!

If you carry your childhood with you...

you'll never become older.

If you always do what you have always done,

you will always get, what you always got.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

If you don't like something, change it.

If you can't change it, change the way you think about it!

If at first you don't succeed....redefine success !!

If it's not delicious...don't eat it !!

If you wish to drown,

do not torture yourself with shallow water.

It is better to sit quiet and be thought a fool,

than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ...

It's no use crying over split milk.

Keep it simple.

Know your audience.

Keep your ideals high enough to inspire you

and low enough to encourage you !

Let me listen to me, and not to them.

Live each day to the fullest

because you never know

if you will be able to

tomorrow.

Live by what you trust...not by what you fear.

Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece.

Lose your troubles in bubble.

Make it thy business to know thyself,

which is the most difficult lesson in the world.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you!

Measure twice, cut once.

Never ASSUME because it makes

an ASS out of U and ME

Never do card tricks with the group you play poker with.

Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

Never confuse motion with action.

Make yourself a better person

and know who you are before you try

and know someone else

and expect them to know you.

Never go too far for too little.

Never play leap frog with a unicorn.

Never put off 'til tomorrow...what you can do today.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

One of the most important trips a person can make...

is the one where he meets another halfway.

People may doubt what you say;

but they always believe what you do.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Sing as if everyone can hear you...

Act as if everyone is watching....

Live as if it's your last day on earth.

Speak kind words and you will hear kind echoes.

Speak when you're angry,

and you'll deliver the best speech you'll ever regret.

Strike while the iron is hot !

Strive for realistic deadlines.

Swallowing angry words is much better than having to eat them.

Take care of your character

and your reputation will take care of itself!

Take my advice...I'm not using it !

The best comeback...is a blank look !!

The best way to knock the chip off another person's shoulder... is to pat him on the back !

The less you speak the more you will hear.

The most valuable gift you can give another is a good example.

The more he spoke of his honesty...the closer I watched my purse.

The time is always right to do what is right.

The time to stop talking is before

people stop listening.

There are things in the future

and things in the past.

Live each moment as though

it were your last...

Things remembered best are those best forgotten.

Waste not fresh tears over old grief. (Euripides)

We should always remember that

cutting remarks have a way of leaving scars.

What should not be heard by little ears,

should not be said by big mouths.

When you argue with a fool...be sure he isn't similarly engaged.

When someone we love becomes a memory,

that memory becomes a treasure !

When you don't know what to do....walk fast and look worried !

When you have nothing to say...say nothing !

Wise men learn much from fools.

Work like you don't need the money,

dance like nobody's watching,

and love like you've never been hurt.

You're like a worm in hot ashes.

Age is like fine wine....

it gets better with time !!

Age is a matter of mind

and if you don't mind

it don't matter !!

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

As you grow older, you stand for more and fall for less.

After Fifty It's Patch, Patch, Patch

At My Age Happy Hour Is Naptime

At my age...

I've got achy, breaky everything !!

At least it is a hill and not a mountain.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature,

but beautiful old people

are works of art.

Better to have bad breath than no breath at all !!

Be nice to your kids. They pick your nursing home.

Classic, Genuine, Antique Person...

They just don't make 'em like this anymore!!

Don't let an old person crawl into your body !

Do not regret growing old....it is a privilege denied many...!

Ever stop to think...And forget to start again?

50 year old--one owner

Needs parts, make offer

50 is the age of discovery....you discover you're old!!!

Fifty is Nifty !!!

Forty is the old age of youth;

Fifty is the youth of old age.

First, I was a good BOY,

Then, I became a nice KID,

I was then a great GUY,

Later, I grew up to be a fine MAN,

Now, I'm just an old FART !!

Getting old is now chick. The rustic look is in.

Hang on! You've reached that age when everything either wears out, spreads out or falls out.

How am I feeling?

I'm still on the right side of the grass.

I have a photographic memory.

Unfortunately, it no longer offers

same day service.

I'd rather be over the hill than under it.

If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

I'm just a 16 year old girl,

locked in an old ladies body !

I'm not 40....

I'm 18 with 22 years of experience !

I'm 39 1/2...(and that's my final answer !)

It used to be wine, women and song...

now it's beer, the old lady and TV !!

I'm not as old as I used to be.

I'm not old....I'm a recycled teenager !!

It's easier to get older than it is to get wiser...

I Like My Bifocals, My Dentures Fit Me Fine, My Hearing Aid Is Perfect, But Lord I Miss My Mind.

I've got a good memory....but it's short !!

Just because you're getting older that doesn't mean you have to grow up.

Look on the bright side. At least wrinkles don't hurt. Unless you trip over them!

Middle age is when the kids leave one by one...

only to return...two by two!!

Middle age is when your narrow waist

and broad mind begin changing places.

My mind wanders a lot but fortunately it's too weak to go very far.

Now you start thinking about the hereafter... you go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what am I here after!

No more health foods. You now need all the preservatives you can get.

Of all the things I've lost...I miss my mind the most!

Old age comes at a bad time.

Old age is NOT for sissy's !!

Over the Hill...pickin' up up speed !!

Over The Hill? I Don't Remember Any Hill

Remember, the tea kettle still whistles at you.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to

forget the people I never liked anyway...

the good fortune to run into the ones that I do...

and the eyesight to tell the difference. …..

Some people, not matter how old they get,

never lose their beauty...

they merely move it from their faces

to their hearts.

The best part about waking up

is finding your teeth

are still in the cup!

The heart is the real fountain of youth.

The older I get, the better I used to be.

The surprising thing about young fools

is how many survive to become old fools !

The Secret To Staying Young Is To Find An Age You Really Like And Stick With It

We are always the same age inside.

(Gertrude Stein)

We do not stop laughing because we grow old;

we grow old because we stop laughing.

We're all getting older at the same rate of speed.

We just got started at different times.

When did my wild oats....turn into shredded wheat??

Wrinkles are antique smiles...!

Wrinkles are just antique smiles. You're very valuable.

Why should I grow up??....this is more fun !!

You know you are getting old when

everything hurts and what doesn't hurt

doesn't work...!

You know you are getting old when...

"Happy Hour" turns out to be a nap !!

when you sink your teeth into an apple

and they stay there..!!

when the little old gray-haired lady you

helped across the street is your wife.

to get something, and

can't remember what you came for.

when the gleam in your eyes is from the

sun hitting your bifocals.

when you relate to everything on this page.

You know you are getting old

when you tend to repeat yourself...

tend to repeat yourself.

You know you are getting old

when your friends don't ask how you fell

but where you hurt.

You know you are getting old

when your knees buckle and your belt won't.

Youth is wasted on the YOUNG !!

You know you are old when your

doctor is the same age as your grandson.

You know you're gettin' old when

you're not as good as you once was but....

your as good once...as you once was.

You know you are old when

your doctor look like

Doogie Howser.

Young at heart,

slightly older in other places !!

You're never too old to enjoy your childhood.

Youth is a gift of nature.

Middle Age is a work of art !!

39.9999999999 and still holding !!

You're not old. You're vintage!

You are only old once -- enjoy it!

You're just 18 with 22 years experience.

You don't have to worry about the police telling you to slow down now, just the doctor.

Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

You're now somewhere between the Young and the Restless and the Old and the Senseless.

You'll still get a little action when your prune juice starts working.

You know you're over the hill when the only whistles you get are from the tea kettle.

Age does not determine who's right,

it only determines who's left!

Age is a number, old is in your head.

Age is a number, and mine is unlisted.

Age isn't important unless you're cheese.

At my age...

I've seen it all...I've heard it all...

I've done it all....

I just can't remember it all...

At your age, you've seen it all, done it all and heard it all. Luckily you can't remember most of it.

Age isn't important unless you're cheese or wine.

After Forty It's A Matter Of Maintenance

By the time you reach middle age,

you've already met so many people

that every new acquaintance reminds

you of someone else.

Born in the USA.....a long time ago !!

Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Count your age by friends, not years.

Don't worry about senility. When it hits you, you won't know it.

Enjoy getting older, the alternative is death ~!~

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Few people know how to be old.

50 !!!!

That's dead in dog years !!

Finally things will start clicking for you. . . your back, neck, elbows, knees.

Forty is not old – if you’re a California Redwood.

Forty isn't old... IF you're a tree !!

Growing old is mandatory...

Growing up is optional !

Geezer......formerly known as "Stud Muffin"...

Hang in there, retirement is only 25 years away!

I am not young enough to know everything !!!

I am old enough to sleep by myself

and young enough not to want to have to.

I just let my mind wander, and it didn't come back...

If This Is The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life, I'm In A Lot Of Trouble

If life begins at 40....

What ended at 39 ???

I'm At The Age When The Gray-Haired Person I Help Across The Street Is My Spouse

I'm entering the "metallic years"...

silver in my hair, gold in my teeth

and lead in my bottom !!

I'm not aging....I'm marinating !!

I'm not getting older, I'm getting bitter.

I'm not aging, I just need repotted.

I'm not old...I've just been young a very long time !!

Inside every older person

is a young person

wondering what the hell happened !

It's frustrating when you know all the answers,

but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

Like a prune, you are not getting any better looking, but you are getting sweeter.

Lying about my age is easier now since I sometimes forget what it is

Middle age is when broadness of the mind

and narrowness of the waist change places.

Middle age is all the rage.

Middle age is when you choose your cereal

for the fiber.....not the toy !!!

Now it's early to bed, early to rise, 'til you get so old you have to do otherwise.

Old Age and Treachery

Beat Youth and Vigor.

One good thing about forgetting is that you can no longer worry about whatever it was you forgot.

Old age and treachery easily beat out youth and vigor any day.

Once you're over the hill....you pick up speed !

Over 40 and still cookin'...!!

Please understand that no matter how old I get...

I will always be a kid at heart...

Senility is a good thing. You're always meeting new friends.

Seniors can whine, recline or shine !!

Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it !!

Sex after 60

is like shooting pool with a rope.

The hardest part of growing older

is remembering when you were young.

The heart that gives love....is always young !!

The older I get, the better I was.

To be 70 years young is sometimes for more

cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

(Oliver Wendell Holmes)

We don't have crow's feet....

We have laugh lines !!

When you stop to think, don't stay parked !!

We turn not older with years,

but newer every day.

When I was a kid I could toast marshmallows over my birthday candles. Now I could roast a turkey

Wrinkled was not one of the things

I wanted to be when I grew up !!

Welcome Friends Anytime...

laughing at this list !

youngest starts collecting Social Security !!

You may not be able to turn back the clock,

but you can wind it up again !

You're getting old when you get the same sensation

from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

You're only young once

but you can be immature forever !

You're not old. You just became a classic.

Your belt may not buckle but your knees will.

You don't need to avoid temptation. It now avoids you.

You're entering the metallic years: Silver in your hair, gold in your teeth and lead in your bottom.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

You can now quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.

Your actions now creak louder than words.

You Know You're In Trouble When You Look Like The Picture On Your Driver's License

You Know You're Old When "Getting A Little Action" means Your Prune Juice Is Working

You're aged to perfection!

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. (Twayla Tharp)

Artists don't get old...they just get abstract.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,

and paints his own nature with excellence.

"The earth as the paradise of the gods,

that is what I want to paint."

(Pierre-Auguste Renoir)

I'm not messy....I'm creative !

The greatest thing about being an artist

is that no one can tell you you're not.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make life unbearable.

(Pablo Picasso)

Artists do it with creativity.

Art is seeing through God's eye

and letting the paintbrush do the rest.

Creative hands are rarely tidy.

Poetry is painting with words,

but a painting needs no words to speak.

Two people are needed to make a painting...

the artist, and someone else

to hit him on the head with a hammer

when the painting is finished.

What is art but a way of seeing?

The world is but canvas to our imaginations.

(Suzanne Moore)

in mid-life it will leave them,

and at their end they will prove to be fools.

(Jer. 17:11)

Peace I leave with you. (John 14:27)

The Lord is good to all;

he has compassion on all he has made.

(Psalm 145:9)

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,

to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)

The earth is full of goodness of the Lord.

(Psalm 33:5)

As I lay me down to slumber,

All I need is one more number.

When to the next game I go,

I pray the Lord I yell....BINGO !

"My husband said to choose between him and bingo.

I'm gonna miss that man !!".

When the chips are down....yell BINGO !!

I only play bingo on days that end in Y...

Happiness is Yelling B I N G O...!!!

Was there life B-4 Bingo ?!?!?!

Way to Go !! BINGO !!

All this excitement.

Birthday Bash

A Cause for Celebration

Over the Hill

Make a wish!

Party Time!

Another candle on your cake?

A Super Dee Dooper Birthday (Barney Birthday Party)

Well, that's no cause to pout.

Be glad that you have strength enough to blow the candle out.

It's thrilling to be three

Seven is heaven, but eight is great

Nine is fine

Look at me...I'm three!

When water-skiing, never allow a feisty duck to hitch a ride on your skis.

Always stay at least five boat-lengths behind the whale in front of you.

While sinking to the bottom of a lake or ocean, screaming does not help.

When boating, always wear a swimsuit with suspenders. This makes it easier on the guys with the grappling hook when they're trying to retrieve your body.

Drowning can cause severe shortness of breath. And you don't even want to think about what it does to your complexion.

Always wear a life jacket in case you fall overboard. Also, it's a good idea to take along something to read, in case you're swallowed by a whale. Most whales seem to enjoy Moby Dick.

Only sailors get blown off shore.

Pink in the morning,

sailors take warning.

Pink at night, sailors delight.

Sail away with me.

The person rowing the boat

seldom has time to rock it.

There are good ships and wood ships,

but the best ships are friendships.

Sailing - The Fine Art of Getting Wet And Becoming ill While Slowly Going Nowhere At Great Expense

Ahoy Maties! (pirate/Captain Hook pictures)

Be good to me...

The sea is so wide...

and my boat so small.

Don't build a new ship out of old wood.

Don't give up the ship.

Faith is the soul riding at anchor.

(H. W. Shaw)

God bless this ship and all who sail in her.

I'm afraid, when my ship came in, I was at the airport.

I had to sink my yacht

to make my guests go home.

(F. Scott Fitzgerald)

I sure hope my ship comes in before my dock rots.

If there is no wind...row !!

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it !!

O GOD, THY SEA IS SO GREAT,

AND THY BOAT IS SO SMALL

Twenty years from now

you will be more disappointed

by the things that you didn't do

than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain)

This boat floats.....I hope !!

With a face like this life will be smooth sailing (sea theme)

Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

I just have better ideas.

It isn't the people you fire who make

your life miserable, it's the people you don't.

(Harvey Mackay)

The last person who quit or was fired

will be held responsible for

everything that goes wrong.

We don't teach people to be nice.

We simply hire nice people.

conviction after you know what

the boss thinks.

Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute !

Old bosses never die, much as you want them to.

When the bosses talk about improving productivity

they are never talking about themselves.

He who laughs last is probably the boss.

Boy's are a constant SON-shine !

Boys are like bank accounts....

without much money...

they don't generate much interest !

Boys are like parking spaces...

all the good ones are taken.

BOYS....

can't live with them

and you can't live without them.

I love boys, every girl should own one.

It's a girl's world...boys just live in it !!

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

that's what little boys are made of!

One good reason why a little boy gets so dirty, he's closer to the ground.

My heart melts when you smile

More precious than gold

My heart belongs to Mommy

Now I lay me down to sleep

Our Little Sweetie

that your house is too neat!

Boys are like dogs,

if we don't take them in

they run wild and are a menace to society.

Boys are like stars,

there are millions of them,

but only one can make your

dreams come true !

Give a boy enough rope

and he'll bring home

a stray dog on the end of it.

Men do what they want.

Boys do what they can.

The angels gazed upon us and smiled with abundant joy...

as God so tenderly gave to us...our little baby boy !

Our Little Man

Sweet Beginnings

Snug as a bug!

Thank Heaven for Little Boys

What a difference a day makes!

Peek A Boo!

before my brother was born.

Brothers are just like sisters....

only they like bugs !!

Brothers by birth

Friends by choice.

There is no other...

like my big (little) brother !

First a brother, now a friend

A Brother Is A Special Friend

then a brother

now a friend.

I used to think how good it would be

if I was the onliest kid in the house.

But when you went to camp,

I was the loneliest.

Love is blind

but kid brothers are not.

There's no buddy like a brother

Oh, Brother!

Flutter by....Butterfly

If wishes were butterflies....

we would never see the sun.

I'm like a butterfly...

Pretty to see...but hard to catch.

Love is like a butterfly

it goes where it pleases

and pleases where it goes.

Why do we call them butterflies?

They don't butter fly, they flutter by.

the more you chase it

the more it will elude you.

Love is like a butterfly.

If you chase it,

it will elude you,

but if you turn your attention to something else,

it will come and softly

sit on your shoulder.

"Living is not enough," said the butterfly,

"One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower".

(Hans Christian Anderson)

One whose face gives light shall become a star.

When you are feeling sad or blue, light this and know that I love you.

When life throws fire at you, light one back at it!

Fire is a powerful thing, hope the fire of this candle gives you strength.

Y2K safety and security light.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Our friendship glows as warm as this candle.

A flicker for your thoughts.

A candle will warm your heart and soothe your soul.

Take a candle break today.

A reflection of your thoughts, as you ponder the warm glow.

Y2K emergency light.

Candy solves everything.

(Corinne Hart)

Chocolate....it's no just for breakfast anymore !!

Forget love....I'd rather fall in chocolate !!

Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt !~!

If at first you don't succeed...

have a chocolate ! (or cookie, ice cream etc)

I've never met a chocolate I didn't like...

One of life's mysteries is how a two pound box of candy

can make a woman gain five pounds.

Some things in life are better rich...

coffee, chocolate, men.

The future is uncertain...eat dessert first.

To have one’s diet defeated by chocolate is a delectable defeat.

When the going gets tough, the tough get chocolate.

I am a woman of many moods, and they all require chocolate.

Warning! Chocoholic in Residence.

In heaven, chocolate has no calories and is served as the main course.

Sisters share laughter, tears and lots of chocolate.

Money may talk, but chocolate sings!

The best things in life are chocolate.

Anything tastes better dipped in chocolate.

I love you as much as chocolate itself!

So much chocolate. So little time!

It's never too early or too late for chocolate.

I only eat chocolate for you, so there will be more of me to love.

Promise me anything, but give me chocolate.

Forget the fruitcake, give me chocolate.

The best over-the-counter prescription to perk you up is chocolate.

The way to a woman's heart is through a box of chocolates.

Forget love! I'd rather fall in chocolate!

The key to my heart is chocolate.

Don't send me roses, unless they are chocolate!

Chocolate is worth its weight in gold.

A chocolate bar is better than a gold bar.

There's never a wrong time for chocolate.

Money can't buy love, but it can buy chocolate.

A day without you is like a day without chocolate.

Chocolate satisfies all my cravings.

Man cannot live on chocolate alone, but woman can.

One never outgrows the need for chocolate.

Things are bad. Send chocolate!

S.O.S. Need chocolate!!

If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Store your chocolate on top of the refrigerator. Calories are afraid of heights and will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

Chocolate is the food group they don't tell you about!

Problem: How do you get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car? Solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

One of life's mysteries is how a two-pound box of candy can make a person gain five pounds.

Those who say "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels" haven't tasted real chocolate!

Good friends share their chocolate chip cookies.

Friends are the chocolate chips of life.

In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips.

Those calorie-free sweets taste great dipped in chocolate!

There's nothing wrong with me that a little chocolate won't cure.

Life would be so desolate without any chocolate!

Sisters and chocolate make life bearable.

The Only Thing Better Than A Good Friend

Is A Good Friend With A Bag Of M&Ms

If God Had Meant Us To Be Thin, He Wouldn't Have Created Chocolate

WHO CARES ??

I NEED CHOCOLATE !!....Need I say more ?

I'd give up chocolate...But I'm no quitter !!!

I'd stop eating chocolate ... but I'm no quitter !

If I had a chocolate for every time I thought of you....

I'd have a butt the size of TEXAS !!

In the cookies of life...friends are the chocolate chips.

Life is a box of chocolates...why do I get the cherry filled ??

Life...Liberty...and the pursuit of chocolate !

There are only two kinds of foods;

If it's not chocolate, it's a

vegetable.

Things are bad !! Send Chocolate...!!!!

God sends no stress that prayer and chocolate cannot handle!

There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate.

If God had meant us to be thin, He would NOT have created chocolate.

I'm going on a starvation diet. No chocolate for 24 hours!

Some things in life are better rich. . . coffee, chocolate, men.

Q. How many calories are there in a piece of chocolate?

A. Who cares?

Give me chocolate or give me death, for to live without chocolate is not living!

Anything is good and useful if it is made of chocolate.

If there is no chocolate in heaven, I'm not going!

I eat anything as long as it is chocolate.

There's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.

When life gets you down and nothing is going right, you always have a friend ... in chocolate.

The future is uncertain. Eat your chocolate first.

Will do anything for chocolate!

Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt.

I never met a chocolate I didn't like.

If life is a box of chocolates, I want the cherry-filled!

There are two food groups: Chocolate and fruit. And if it is fruit, it should be dipped in chocolate.

Chocolate is an essential nutrient.

There is no Chocolate's Anonymous because no one wants to quit.

If it's chocolate, it's sending out messages for me to eat it.

I'd stop eating chocolate, but I'm no quitter.

Chocolate solves everything!

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is!

If at first you don't succeed, have a chocolate!

Eat a chocolate before each meal. It will take the edge off your appetite and you will eat less.

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, it may be a sign of a deeper problem.

Who says chocolate isn't a food group!!

A nice box of chocolate provides your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way at least you will get one thing done.

Make mine chocolate!

You are some bunny special. (Put with a chocolate bunny)

Milk chocolate is a dairy product.

The four food groups: Brownies, Chocolate Cake, Fudge, Diet Coke

Save Earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

A grandma is admired for her wisdom, patience, understanding and her chocolate chip cookies.

Life is like a box of chocolates. . . full of nuts.

The calories in white chocolate are negative and cancel out the positive calories in dark chocolate.

The two major food groups:

A) The foods that you put cheese on.

B) The remaining foods that you put chocolate on.

Chocolate. . . it isn't just for breakfast anymore.

What came first, woman or the chocolate bar?

because even if you don't make it

you'll always end up reaching the stars.

Here for a good time--not along time...

AND THE SUN MAY SHINE !!

I will love the light for it shows me the way,

yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. (Og Mandino)

Let the sun shine in !!

Keep your face toward the sunshine

and the shadows will fall behind you.

Reach for the Moon.

If you fall short...

You may land on a star.

My barn having burned to the ground,

I can now see the moon.

(Chinese Proverb)

Reach for the stars !!

Reach high and touch the stars.

The sun sets without your assistance.

The earth is at it's colorful best

when bathed in warm sunshine.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others

cannot keep it from themselves.

(James M. Barrie)

We can't all be stars,

but we can all twinkle.

When the sky is dark, the stars come out...let your light shine!

Wish on stars...

Wish upon a star...

You are the star for which all evenings wait.

Expect Angels

The Skies the Limit! (model rocket building)

If you carry your own sunshine with you, there will be fewer dark places in your life.

Lasso the moon.

and the shadows will fall behind.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

If I had a star for every time you made me smile

I would be holding the night sky in my hand!

Long live the sun which gives us such color.

Look now toward Heaven and Count the Stars...

If I could reach up

and hold a star for every time

you've made me smile,

the entire evening sky

would be in the

palm of my hand.

Reach for the Moon...if you miss...you'll still be among the stars.

Stars are the flowers of heaven.

The sun sets without your assistance.

Teach me your mood

O patient stars !

Who climb each night

the ancient sky.

Who leave on space

no shade

no scars

No trace of age...no fear to die.

Turn your face to the sun.

When it's dark enough,

you can see the stars.

(Charles A. Beard)

With every rising of the sun, think of your life as just begun.

When the stars are twinkling, an angel awaits your prayers.

You don't mind the rain

if you haven't seen the sunshine.

You may not be a star but you need not be a cloud.

Stars in our eyes...(star die cuts and slide die cuts like photos on film)

Hitch yer wagon to a star. - Emerson

A child is the root of the heart.

(Caroline Maria de Jesus)

A hundred years from now

it will not matter

what my bank account was,

the sort of house I lived in,

or the kind of car I drove...

but the world may be different

because I was important in the life of a child.

Be kind to your children...they pick your nursing home.

Catch them doing something "good"..!!

(we always catch our children doing something bad...so here's a switch !)

Children are God's flower buds just waiting to open.

Children are jewels dropped from heaven.

Children are poor men's riches.

Children are the sweet peas in the garden of life !

Children don't make life easier....just better...

Children fill a hole in your heart you never knew existed.

Children have more need of models than of critics.

Children love to learn....but hate to be taught.

Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.

Children should be seen, not heard.

Discover Wildlife...!!

Have Twins !!

Give a boy enough rope

and he'll bring home

a stray dog on the end of it.

If a child lives with approval...he learns to live with himself !

If we are to reach real peace in this world

we shall have to begin with the children.

I'm spoiled....but not rotten !!

If you want friends, don't ever tell them

what is wrong with their children.

It is said that every child is a little flower.

What if he is a little cactus?

It's not who wears the pants in the family who's the boss,

it's who wears the diapers.

Kids: Nature's Way of saying Your house is way too neat !!

Kids need a stable background...

(I saw this on a t-shirt depicting the baby Jesus laying in a stable manger)

My name is NO NO but Grandma calls me Precious.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted...

Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child works hard for a living,

The child that is born on the Sabbath Day,

is bonny, blythe, good and gay.

Saying " yes " to a child

is like blowing a balloon.

You have to know when to stop.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

The good thing about spoiled children

is that you never have any in your family.

There are two things we should give our children...

one is roots...the other is wings.

To be in your children's memories tomorrow...

You have to be in their lives today.

To the world...you may be one person,

but to one person...you may be the world !

We teach children to love by first loving them.

What should not be heard by little ears,

should not be said by big mouths.

When God made the motor for toddlers,

there's one thing He forgot, I fear...

Often the throttle gets stuck on high,

for He forgot to include low gear.

You can't scare me....I have kids !!

We can handle any problem...we have kids !!

Mommy's Chef

School days are the happiest days of your life, provided of course, your kids are old enough to go.

It's not an empty nest until they get their stuff out of the basement

it's better to fill it up with lots of good stuff

before it sets.

A lock of hair from a child so fair,

A miracle from above placed gently in my care.

This child is growing up so fast.

Tomorrow is the future, today is the past,

walking...talking...fading riddles and rhymes,

This lock of hair remains a keepsake of past times.

Blessed are the children !

Childhood is that wonderful time

when all you have to do to lose weight

is to take a bath..!!

Children are a gift from God...

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Children do not ask to be born

but they do ask to be taken care of

and in so many ways.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders.

But they have never failed to imitate them.

Children in the dark cause accidents.

Accidents in the dark cause children.

Children may close their ears to advice,

but open their eyes to example.

Children seldom misquote you.

In fact, they usually repeat word for word

what you shouldn't have said.

Forget the dog. Beware of the kids...!!

(you can also substitute...wife, husband, mother-in-law...etc.)

I love to give homemade gifts.

Which one of the kids would you like?

If children are the ones who take the baths,

why are moms the ones who get soaking wet?

If you think it is impossible to love someone

more than yourself, have a child.

I'm not rich...

but my children are jewels !

In the eyes of a child,

love is spelled T-I-M-E

It's not an empty nest until their stuff is out of the attic.

Kid's brain are like jello...

you have to fill them with

lots of good stuff before they set.

Lord....Grant me patience to endure my blessings.

Lord, give me strength

to live with my children.

But wait...Lord...

give me more strength...

I can't live without them.

My name is NOT...No-No !!!

Often God's biggest gift to us come in the littlest of packages…our children.

Praise your children...and they will blossom.

Procrastinate on anything but your children !!

Sending children to college is educational for parents. It teaches them to do without many things.

Small child: House Wrecker, Inc.

The decision to have a child, it's momentous.

It is to decide forever to let your heart

walk around outside of your body.

There are two things a child will share willingly.

Chickenpox and his mother's age.

Thou shalt not whine...

We know a secret

Just we three.

The Robin, and I and the

sweet Cherry tree.

The bird told the tree

and the tree told me

And nobody knows it

But just we three !

Who takes a child by the hand, takes the mother by the heart.

By the time your children are easy to live with,

they're living with someone else

Forget the dog. Beware of the kids!

Be kind to your children...they pick the nursing home

When I grow up I wanna be just like...DADDY!! (child has tie on, a briefcase, and daddy's shoes on)

Swinging her way into our hearts (pictures in swing)

Shouting to make your children obey

is like using your horn to steer the car.

You get about the same results.

Even much worse than a storm or a riot, is a bunch of kids who are suddenly quiet.

Look what's sprouting up at our house!

Mommy's little mess maker.

Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of life.

Be nice to your kids - they pick your nursing home.

not a museum for saints !

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian

any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

Be thou humble.

Earths crammed with heaven and every bush afire with god. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

For He will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. - Psalms 9

Open your mind to God's wisdom,

Open your heart to God's love,

Open your soul to God's peace,

Life began in a garden!

"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car." --Laurence J. Peter
