Sunday Stealing: Complete the Thought

Welcome to this week's Sunday Stealing! Today I am going to Complete The Thought.

1. I wish someone would ...mow my yard and fix all of my landscaping.

2. When I order Chinese food ... I like to order crab rangoon.

3. I know it's not everyone's favorite activity, but I actually enjoy ... sitting in my house all day, doing nothing.

5. A major pet peeve of mine is ... hypocrites.

6. I remember when my grandfather ... told us stories of the good old days.

7. I am not fazed at all by ... my dog licking my face.

8. Long car rides ... stress me and make my legs hurt. I would rather stay home.

9. I don't understand the fuss over ... the Labubu toys.

10. When I'm home alone ... which is never, because I have a dog! We like to sit on the couch, watch TV and do nothing else.

Sunday Stealing: 10 Questions with Nigel

Welcome to this week's Sunday Stealing.
Back in 2010, blogger Nigel Vanstone from Away from a Bit asked his readers this series of questions.
Today I am answering those questions
1. What's your life's motto?

I don't have a motto. I just do the best that I can and try to be a good person.

2. Where were you living 13 years ago?

Same state I live in now but in a different town and house.  

3. Is anyone jealous of you?

I doubt it.

4. Where were you when you heard about the 9/11 terror attacks?

I was living in Missouri at the time. I had just got back from dropping my kids off at school and was trying to take a nap. My sister-in-law woke me up and we watched the news together.   

5. Do you consider yourself kind?

I do consider myself to be a kind person.

6. Can you change your car's oil?

I can but I prefer not to.

7. What's the last thing you heard about your first love?

The last I heard was that he was in jail.  No idea what he was in jail for.

8. Have you ever been burned by love?

Of course! Everyone has.

9. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?

A can of soda at work.

10. Do you hug your friends?

Every now and then.

You Are Loved


Today, when you look at your life, who you have become, be grateful that you've made 
it to today. I am sure you have had moments when you thought you were gonna drown. 
When  you felt like you couldn't handle it any longer. 

 BUT you are here and you are stronger than you  thought you were. 
 You are stronger than you think you are today 
You didn't arrive alone. 
 You have had provision that surprised you, and support that helped hold you up.

You may not have even realized the influence that a simple smile may have had on your troubled heart or the hand that diverted that  "last straw" that would have completely broken you. 

 Let the memory of your trials be a place of gratitude and the memory of your times of joy be sustenance for what may be hard today. 

If your days are easy right now, store the joy in your heart like priceless treasure!
 
Be the influence of strength while you are strong. 
 Be the smile, the comfort of provision, the words of experience. 
 Know that you are loved.
