    Talking Here is one for Granny and all the rest of the drivers out there

    Maybe some of you saw this before but thought i will share it with you.

    Grandma's letter.

    She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes:

    Dear Granddaughter:

    The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
    "Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker".

    I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

    Boy, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed. I was
    stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought
    about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light
    had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus!

    While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
    And then he leaned out of his window and screamed, For the love of God! Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO! What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

    Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

    There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.

    I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle fingerstuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

    Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window And gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

    A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

    I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
    when I noticed the light had changed.

    So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on
    through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got
    through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of
    sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.

    So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

    Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

    Will write again soon,

    Love, Grandma

    One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

    Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

    It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

    That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

    On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments.

    No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

    Several years later, one of the students was killed inVietNam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

    The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.

    As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."

    After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

    "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

    Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

    "Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

    All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

    Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."

    "I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary"

    Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists"

    That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

    The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

    So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.


    FELLOW SBM MEMBERS, YOU ARE SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT TO ME!

    well paople i saw a layout in the gallery about a tea party from "makeyesup" and reminded me of this joke about a tea party.So this is for all the dad's and mom's with little one and it is so funny lol
    One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was about 3
    years old and had just recovered from a nasty fall. Someone had given me
    a little tea set as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

    Daddy was in the living room, engrossed in the evening news when I
    brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which of course, was just water. After
    several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came
    home.

    My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of
    tea because it was 'just the cutest thing!'. My Mom waited, and sure
    enough,
    here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watched
    him drink it all up.

    Then she said, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place that child
    can reach to get water, is the toilet.??"
