God knows

I am going to be on vacation this week and not sure if I will have time to post so I am posting some great emails I have received.  I got this one from my Step-mom.  Hope you enjoy it!

I  asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No..
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said.......Ahhhh,finally you have the idea.

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May God Bless You,

'To the world you might be one person,

But to one person you just might be the world'

'May the Lord Bless you and keep you,

May the Lord Make his face shine upon you,

And give you Peace......Forever'

'Good friends are like stars...

You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.'

You might be a redneck…

but it should say, You might be a Christian if: 

another great email I got the other day.  Being from OK we always get a lot of redneck jokes but I love this one since it isn’t really jokes…. hope you enjoy it and I am sure a lot of you will relate to it!

 

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to
take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that
values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand
before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd
choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.
Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are
made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the
same, pass this on to your redneck friends.

Y'all know who ya are

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to
be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..' 

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing
the 10 Commandments posted in public places. 

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas'
instead of 'Winter Festival.' 

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when
someone prays.
 
You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your
hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem
 
You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces 
veterans with great respect, and always have. 

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an
American flag, nor intend to.
 
You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe 
and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. 

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and 
raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend. 

If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that
you, like me, have just enough Red Neck in you to have the
same beliefs as those talked about in this email.
 
God Bless the USA ! 
 
Keep the fire burning, redneck friend.
 
IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS FEEL

FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM.
 
IN GOD WE TRUST!
