Quotable Sunday~Death

Today on Quotable Sunday I have decided to do quotes on death. No, I'm not one of those people who dwell on death. I just think that we all need to realize we will one day die. It may be 40 years from now or more. It may be in 40 minutes. Only God knows when our time will come. Will you be ready? Just think about it some for a minute. Don't hurt yourself though.

Some of you have already left my blog. So sad! For the rest of you here are your quotes!

God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled. ~Author Unknown

There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year. ~Author Unknown

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. ~Mark Twain

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death. ~David Sarnoff

No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow. ~Euripides

All those people who try to live healthy and eat all organic will feel pretty dumb lying in the hospital dieing of nothing.~ Author Unknown

And from my dear Hubby....

In the end everyone dies of the same thing. Lack of oxygen! ~ Hubby

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." ~Nora Ephron

Quotable Sunday~Hording

Yesterday I spent the day helping the in-laws clean the attic in one of their rent houses. When I first saw the attic the only word that described it was Hording. Know I understand why it took them a solid month to move out (they rented this one for 7 years and then bought them a house so moved out of this one).

I have never really understood hording. I have some things I hang on to way too long, but hording is not really what I would describe it as. This attic was a big mesh of things. I pulled out countless blow up pools, two dart boards, tons of empty boxes, clothes on top of clothes, and so many toys. When we finally emptied the attic we had a truck bed loaded down to the max for donating, some stuff in my vehicle, a few things we put in the house for friends and family, and a pile of "trash" as big as an SUV in the garage! WOW! It was a lot.

So in honer of the last renters I am doing quotes on hording!

Surprisingly I couldn't really find that many so I just have one for today!

"There are two fools in the world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hording money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penny less reformer who thinks if only he can take the money from on class and give it to another, all world's ills will be cured."~Henry Ford

Quotable Sunday

Today on Quotable Sunday I am featuring quotes that have patience in them. I always need to remind myself to be patient with things. They don't happen when I want them to, but rather when God wants them to. I have to remind myself often to trust in Him.

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young? ~Paul Sweeney





You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. ~Franklin P. Jones





One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life. ~Chinese Proverb





"Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it."Psalm 37:34 (KJV)

Quotable Sunday-Pets

Today's quotes are all about pets because we are at a point in our lives where we think it may just be time for a new pet. As many of you know our dear cat died a few months back. Hubby and I have been thinking that it is time Will had a pet of his own. (The cat was mine before I even met Hubby.) So, keep on the lookout! I may have a new pet very soon in the house. I blogging family will be one of the first to find out and see the pictures!

The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude. ~Robert Brault

Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! ~Anne Tyler, The Accidental Tourist

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. ~Winston Churchill

You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets. ~Nora Ephron

Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Hamatreya"

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. ~Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844

Look at us, said the violets blooming at her feet, all last winter we slept in the seeming death but at the right time God awakened us, and here we are to comfort you. ~Edward Payson Rod

If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn. ~Andrew Mason

Quotable Sunday-Friends

Today on Quotable Sunday I have decided to do quotes on friends. I am not one to usually have a ton of friends. I am more likely to describe them as acquaintances.

So, to all the new girl friends I have recently met, this is for you! Enjoy!

Quotable Sunday-Food

Food is something we all need and enjoy. (Sometimes a little too much!) So, today I have decided to do quotes on food. To me food is one of the greatest things on Earth. It fuels us, brings us closer together around a table, and is just plain good.

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. ~Jim Davis

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. ~Voltaire

Red meat is not bad for you. Now blue-green meat, that’s bad for you! ~Tommy Smothers

My favorite animal is steak. ~Fran Lebowitz

And my favorite one is............

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato. ~Lewis Grizzard

Quotable Sunday-Marriage

Today I decided to do quotes about marriage. Today is Valentines day and I can only think about how much I love my Husband. We have a great marriage filled with love.

We don't do a big Valentines Day thing, with a fancy dinner and flowers and candy. Today we are going to give our little boy some candy, a toy, and lots of love. I am cooking a roast (our family's favorite dinner) and we will spend the day at home together!

Now to the quotes!

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret

Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate. ~Barnett R. Brickner

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966

In a time when nothing is more certain than change, the commitment of two people to one another has become difficult and rare. Yet, by its scarcity, the beauty and value of this exchange have only been enhanced. ~Robert Sexton

And my personal favorite...

There is no such cozy combination as man and wife. ~Menander

Happy Valentines Day!

The amount of money you have has got nothing to do with what you earn.. people earning a million dollars a year can have no money and.. People earning $35,000 a year can be quite well off. It's not what you earn, it's what you spend. ~Paul Clitheroe

Enjoy a second time this week for all of you who have already read them on Thursday! By the way I am thankful for the new year and all that it promises.

Quotable Sunday-Babies

With Christmas upon us I though that quotes about babies would be great. The real reason for Christmas is Jesus, and we remember this day as the day he was born into the world. Our world. A world full of sin, sickness, and unbelievers. He was born a baby. A small child who had to be loved and raised to fulfill his purpose on Earth. What better way for us to really relate to Mary as mothers. We, who have given birth and loved and raised our own children. Babies are our future! May all children grow to know and love the Lord or God!

A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase. ~Author Unknown

Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other. ~Ed Howe

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. ~Carl Sandburg

Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility.Kate Douglas Wiggin

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.Barbara Kingsolver
