Popular Post rope Posted January 23, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 A $50 LESSON: Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said..."But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore. Courtesy of: Sid Miller 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLadiesDaddy Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Luv it !! I know how that my recent post and lack of communication with you may have you thinking that we have a problem. WE DON'T. I am so blown away with what God is giving me that I must attempt to assimilate all of it and that requires some effort. I want you to know how much that I pray for you and your beloved wife and her health. And also for my beloved Markinsa. You are children of God and he is moving. And though we seldom understand why, we must know and trust that he is God. He knows what he's doing and he's in charge of everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millionaire in training Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's lives. This is so true. So few understand this. The bond that is created with respect and joy in each others lives. I personally call it "SPIRITUAL FAMILIES" What a blessing ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
