THOSE BORN 1920-1979

READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE---VERY WELL STATED

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright color ed lead-based paints.

We   had no child  proof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when   we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took   hitchhiking.

As infants &   children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle..

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day.And we were OK.

We   would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ridedown the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes After running into< /FONT>   the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We   did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all,no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound   or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chatrooms... .....

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside an d found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We   were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks   and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not   poke out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little   League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had   to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
< /FONT>
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!

You   might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up   as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our   lives for our own good .

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.  
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!  
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
'With   hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another,and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this   is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.

For the rest of us...pass this ON!

Let us thank God for those people who take pleasure in helping others. No task is too small for them, and they rejoice in doing good. They do not seek any reward, except for making life richer and easier for their fellowmen. To forget about yourself in the service of others, is the path to a full and satisfying life. Find somebody who is in need. A lonely person might welcome friendship; someone who is confused will appreciate an understanding listener; a single mother might welcome a responsible child-minder so that she can go out for an evening. There are so many different ways in which to help. while you are helping others, you will receive a rich blessing as your reward. Every good deed that is performed in the Name of Christ bestows a blessing on both the donor and the receiver. Most of all, it brings glory to His Name.

  
 The circle of love comes in many forms and colors
 Appreciate the love and love the one your with.

                                                                                  

Peace:
It is peace that enables us to live peacefully with our fellowman. We become messengers of peace as we involve ourselves in activities that promote peace. This peace permeates families, bring joy and harmony because of its influence on family members. It creates spiritual unity and togetherness that leads to peace under the guidance of god. peace grows in us as one of the fruits of holy spirit. All this leads to peace in our souls, because we are now "all right" in our hearts.


Patience:
There are many occasions when we are approached for some advice, support or companionship, and so often we respond only by showing our impatience. We are pressed for time; We have very busy schedules; we are working to beat the clock. We show it in the hurried way in which we try to get rid of people in distress, so that we can rush on to whatever is demamnding our attention. This leaves the other person feeling that he is nothing more then an annoying intruder who has to be pushed aside. You should never show impatience or irritation when you are dealing with distress of other people.Despite your busy life Treat people with the same patience, compassion and empathy that christ did.


Forgiveness:
It is one of life's great arts to know what to forget and what to remember. People become collectors of the grievances and this poisons their souls and drives the love from the hearts. Many people nurture their anger to keep it glowing; they brood on the mistakes made against them. Then the grievances begets a whole string of little ones, Later, it becomes impossible for them to forget. Christ taught the great lesson of forget-ing and forgiving. If you keep record of the wrongs committed against you, you are inclined to miss the noble. good and beautiful things in life. This takes us back to the point of departure for all of this: the ability to forgive. If you cannot forgive, you keep record of the wrongs; if you keep record of the wrongs, you gradually lose love from your heart..

Some strong words to remember

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, He asked "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, " I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumble the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still hands were up in the air. "Well", he replied, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumbled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. but no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special-Don't ever forget it!

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire. they could get by.   The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go & asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. the carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.   When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."   The carpenter was shocked!   What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.   So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.   But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude, and choices you make today, help build the "house" You will live in tomorrow. Therefore, Build Wisely
