Now for a funny:
Innocence is Priceless.... Why adults should explain themselves to the younger generation.
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it.
The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Alex. ''Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque.
'Pastor, what is this?' The pastor said, 'Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.' Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, 'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?'

A lot of good tips for us to contemplate.
Enjoy your Sunday and "Make at least three people smile each day." I'm smiling;)...Now you only need to make two more smile;)
Dear Patty ~~I really enjoyed the 42 ways to a better life and they are all reasonable. The funnys were great, and the Blonde ones. I am so glad that at least one of your doctors has called it a day. Stay well my friend,. Sorry Abe gets a bad back sometimes as they can be very sore. I am OK again. Glad you liked the Reflections and the mother of the bride joke. Good for her. Take care,
Love, Merle.
Hi Patty,
What a great list! I have "I'm too blessed, to be stressed," on the wall here by the computer.
Little Alex had to ask that question, didn't he? lol.
Hope you had a nice Sunday and have a great week. Our weather has warmed up again to 80, so will be outdoors a lot this coming week. Have a good night.
Renie
