Mary's Lamb



Think carefully about
what you will be reading.
This is a new one for me...


Mary hada little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.


He followed herto school each day,
T'wasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To have a Lamb at school.


And then the rulesall changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name!


Every day gotworse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.
&nbs p;


What must we doto stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,

And teach our kids to pray.


It is said that 86% of Canadian,

American & British people believe in God.

Why don't we just tell the other 14%



I received this in a forward and thought it worth sharing.

Blessings, Rhoni

I was listening to the radio the other day and there was a thought that I thought was so awesome and I was able to apply it to our current situation.

A lady not too long ago said that the grass is always greener on the other side. Then I heard this thing on the radio and a guy said that, maybe the reason why the grass is greener on the other side is because it's being fertilized, cared for, nurtured!

This really spoke to me and helped me!

It was so refreshing to hear that! You know, God cares for His children...he loves us...He does not beat us down or want us to live in fear.

I related it to men that think there is something better out there than their family, but it can relate to anything!

I like the sandal thing too - I love toeless shoes, but please make sure those toes look good!
