Joel and I were at Wal-mart in Cartersville standing in the return line. We all know the line for returns is always long. The lady in front of us had a little girl with her. The girl had to be about three years old and was dressed very homely as was the lady with her. The little one was sitting in the buggy’s child seat with a tube of Chapstick in her hand. As we watch her she would stick her finger in the Chapstick tube and scoop out some of the insides then eat it. After the third time of doing it I said to the lady ” excuse me, but she is eating the Chapstick” and with out missing a beat the woman said ” yea!! she likes to eat it so we give it to her as a treat.” I turned, and the lady behind me was looking as confused as I was. I couldn’t believe what I just heard, but at least they must be rich because she is the only person it the world who can poop wax for candles or better yet more Chapstick.

Mmmmm!!!! Is that good?
What is taking so long????
Heard this story and thought it was worth sharing…..funny as well…
My aunt went shopping with her three kids one day. Her youngest Peter who is five at the time had to go to the bathroom. Now all the mom’s and dad’s out there know when you are shopping alone with the kids you take them in the bathroom with you. Well Peter asked if he could go into the men’s bathroom alone. My aunt thought about it for a minute and said “ok but I will be standing right here outside the door waiting for you. Don’t talk to strangers and wash your hands.” Peter went in the restroom and she waited with the other children outside the door. Men would go in and come out but still no sign of Peter. She just figured he had to GO GO to the bathroom (you know poop) so she waited a little longer. Just as she started to get worried he came out of the bathroom my aunt said ” Peter what took you so long honey” Peter turned to her and said (now keep in mind this is a five year old boy alone in the men’s room at the mall) ” well I had to find someone to wipe me!!! MOM!!!!” My anut said she couldn’t get the kids out of the mall fast enough. Now image if you were in the bathroom and some pour kid is in the stall asking everyone in the bathroom “can you wipe me” What would you do? Somewhere out there is a stranger who helped out my cousin by wiping a strange kids butt. Have a good day!!!
The power of God…
I just want to share the power that God has for us when we least expect it. Before Joel and I got married he told me the importance about tithing. He told me that God will bless you when you give back to Him what He has given you. I started to tithe every pay check which was not much but I still gave with a giving heart. One morning while running late for church Joel and I were backing out of my parent driveway he ran into the side of my dad demo truck. Now for those of you who don’t know my dad worked a Marietta Dodge and drove a new demo. The damage was going to cost us $450.00 that we did not have. I was praying for God to show me how we were going to pay for the repairs on our salary while trying to save for the down payment for our apartment. But we all know that God is good. About two days after the accident I was getting on I-75 at Wade Green heading north to meet a friend. While driving behind a big rig I saw something flying in the air. I kept on going and as I thought about it I said to myself ” was that money flying around” so I got off the next exit and circled back around. When I go back on the ramp there it was again. I pulled over and got out of the car only to see four $100 bill and one $50 bill in the grass. With all the traffic that goes by no one else saw the money. It was the exact amount that we need to have the car fixed. Now nothing like this has ever happened to me again but I know that God is so good to us. We still tithe and have see His power in other ways and we will continue to give Him back what He has given to us.
Spit up in the mouth
There is nothing better then watching a baby spit up in your husbands mouth…. When Joel and I were dating he was playing with a little boy my mother was watching. Joel would throw him up in the air and Riley loved it. Right when I said “hey he just ate” he spit up all in his mouth. I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t even help him. When I looked over he had this look on his face,and there was a little bit of gaging going on. Need less to say it made my day…
