THE LAW OF FIRST

THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING- AND THAT FIRST IS THE ONE REMEMBERED- SO DON'T WASTE A FIRST NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. IN THE IMPATIENCE OF YOUTH YOU THINK IT WILL NOT MATTER- BUT DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL. JUST THINK ABOUT IT- IF A CHILD SNEEKS AROUND THE HOUSE BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY AND FINDS HIS PRESENT- WHAT WILL BE HIS LASTING MEMORY? THE JOY OF SEEING HIS PRESENT ALL WRAPPED UP SURROUNDED BY CAKE BALLOONS AND LOVED ONES- OR THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN THE GIFT WAS REVEALED? ALTHOUGH THE GIFT WILL BE IN HAND SOME OF THE JOY WILL BE LOST- IT WILL NOT BE EVERYTHING IT WAS MEANT TO BE- THEY CALL IT A FIRST TIME FOR A REASON-LET THEM BE ALL THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE-

I WILL SHOW YOU LOVE

I will show you love like you’ve never loved before
I will go the distance and back for more if you just say the word

You will come alive again and call the trying times your friend
The pain that you have suffered through will never get the best of you
You will hope in something real that won’t depend on how you feel
When you call my name then I will answer, answer

I am on your side though the wind and waves beat against your faith
You were on my mind when the world was made
Trust in me my child, Trust in me my child

Walk out on the water where you have no control
So scared to death of failure you sacrifice your soul, please let that go

You have climbed an uphill road, You have worn a heavy load
You have cried through endless nights and nearly given up the fight
Watched your dreams like falling stars the heartaches made you who you are
Now looking back you see that I have always been there

Where you gonna hide? Where you gonna hide from Me?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go that I can’t see?

I have heard you cry and it breaks my heart for I love you so
I would never lie, this is not the end there is still a hope

15 years of Marriage

I love weddings- these are a few things I would want to have if I was having a renewal ceremony--including the models figure!!!! Yes I want all the cakes!!!

Wizard of Oz Party so cute

These wicked witch cupcakes are perfect for a Wizard of Oz party! Serve them with these black and white striped napkins and ruby red paper goods for a complete look.
Need more dessert ideas? How about “somewhere over the rainbow jello?” Or these “wicked witch hat cookies?” For drinks, display a rainbow of Jones Sodas, and let each child choose their favorite.

Hope you have some inspiration for your party, have fun in Oz!
Thanks Thoughtfully Simple-- to bad you didn't give us the recipes- you could tweak a few things and also have a fun movie night with some adult friends!!!!

EVERYBODY HAS AN ELVIRA GULCH (wicked witch)

You know it and I know it - we all have an Elvira AKA the Wicked Witch in our lives. Male or Female it makes no difference. As a child I loved the Wizard of Oz and looked forward to the once a year showing on TV (around Thanksgiving). No dvd's back then- Well anyway I always hated the part where Auntie Em confronts Elvira Gulch for being such a miserable and mean person. She is just about to tell her off and BAM- she stops and says well being a good Christian woman I just can't and runs off !! All the while I am screaming YES YOU CAN!! Well let me tell you every time I saw that I would get so mad. I so wanted her to tell her off- she deserved it did't she. You would think by the millionth time I saw this I would realize the movie wasn't going to change.It is only in the past few years I get why she didn't yell at her. 1. You cannot argue with crazy, mean people. You will never win. You may be on the right side of things and have facts on your side and you will still not get them to see truth or God forbid change. You only end up looking like a crazy lunatic yourself. 2.You will say things you normally wouldn't say and get more emotionally upset than needed. You will either regret what you said or think of 50 better things you should have said. 3. You will not feel better. If you want peace you have to let go - holding on just makes you relive the hurt pain and frustration over and over again and they win. I am sure Elvira's don't spend to much time thinking of how they effect other people. Remember misery loves company and the sweetest revenge is being happy and successful- and that happens when you move on. Also The Wicked Witch does get it in the end-
