Wednesday Scriptures

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men
in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1Timothy 6:6-10

Ants

We have had horrid ant trouble at this house. We had never had ant troubles before, so this was a first for us. We tried to get rid of them, then I thought I would have to learn to live with them, then they got unbearable....and then we found this...Ant Killer Bait by GRANTS. The BEST ant product we have ever used. Sprinkle it around the outside of your house and anywhere near your house where you know the ants reside. In about a day or two...wow! what an AMAZING difference. I am totally sold on this product and will definitely use it again.
As a side note, if your kids love watching ants, this is great fun to watch. I have never seen ants come crawling out for bait like this. They come pouring out and carry it off. Amazing!

Enjoy The Little Things

I was putting some flags out front for the Fourth of July, and my daughter said, "I know what the Fourth of July is for." And I said "what?" And she says, "It's when Grandpa and Grandma come".

"My butt scratches."

When being quizzed for a history test the question was: "A working class farmer in Europe is called what?"
son's answer "fertile".

I have been feeling pretty sick this pregnacy, and when I go to lay down, my youngest will come and lay down by me for hours. So sweet! He also gave me his snoopy and woodstock, he would tell me that they would make me feel better.

The other day we were talking in school about doing things for others, things that make them happy. So two of the kids wrapped up some of their toys and some pop and gave it to Daddy when he came home.

The look of a freshly cut lawn...my husband never lets me mow the lawn. He says it's man's work and he always mows. Isn't that sweet?
