PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old Pecan tree just
inside the cemetery fence.

One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the
tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.

"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy.

Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he
thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to
investigate. Sure enough, he heard,"One for you, one for me. One for
you, one for me."

He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off.

Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.

"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard!
Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."

The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk."

When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery.

Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you,
one for me..."

The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' me the truth. Let's see
if we can see the Lord."

Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable
to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars
of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the
Lord.

At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go
get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."

They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the
kid on the bike!

Smile, God Loves You!!!

In GOD WE TRUST! FOREVER AND FOREVER ...AMEN!!!

Also I want to thank Tamara for making a beautiful valentine of Sophia.  For some reason it won't let me add it. :(  I'll try again later.  Trust me though it is darling!  UPDATE:  I couldn't add in the post but I did add on the top of the blog!

Party Challenged!

 Ok so I took the first step and admitted it, My name is Megan and I am party challenged.  I am throwing a Pampered Chef FUNDRAISER for Sophia this Friday (2-11-11) at 6:30 in Laguna Niguel.  I haven't had a lot of feedback on attendees.  I would love to see my local girls or guys who work wonders in the kitchen I know you are out there come.  Bring a friend  and check out these amazing products.  There will be friends, fun, and food who could ask for anything more.  Sophia and I need your support!  If you can't make the show and would like to take a look and order you can go to the following website:

Public Thank you

I was at church yesterday and we were having our monthly testimony meeting at church.  I thought about getting up but due to some personal stuff I didn't.  So I want to take this opportunity to thank my Heavenly Father for all he has blessed me with and continues to bless me with in the journey to adopt my little girl.  I also see the hand of the adversary but I know that my Father in Heaven is stronger and in charge of this journey.  I also want to thank all those who have contributed to this journey. 

I will continue to pray for Sophia, me and our journey; also for the friends I have made along the way!

God Bless
