Dead at 40??????

Last night when Tayva was getting ready for bed she was telling me about all the girls in her class that had "boyfriends" I asked her if she had one. She said "NO way--I don't want one" So I told her good. You should probably wait until your 40 before you get a boyfriend. Her response: "40??????? I'll be dead by then!!!! " I could not help but laugh my head off as I proceded to tell her the people in her life that were about to be 40!!!!

10 Questions God won't ask........

So my friend sent this to me in an e-mail. It was perfect for me because many times I am guilty of comparing myself to others and wishing I had "more" But then I have to stop and remember how blessed I have been to be able to have Tayva in my life and a new husband and all my friends that I have been able to continue to keep contact with over the years. So I thought I would post it for others to see but also to have on hand during my "down" times. Here it goes:

10 Questions God Won't Ask
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4. God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5. God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of our ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had, He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8. God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.
9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
10. God won't ask how many people you shared this with, He'll ask if you were ashamed to.
