"Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family."
Mother Teresa
Without you we are but dust
A visiting minister waxed eloquent during the offertory prayer. “Dear Lord,” he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, “without you we are but dust…”
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening carefully for a change!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, “Mom, what is butt dust?”
Perfect Daughter
The birth of our second child, a daughter, came after a long
and difficult labor. But it was definitely worth it when our
beautiful little girl emerged, perfect in every way. Later,
in my room, my husband looked at her tenderly, with tears in
his eyes. Then as he glanced up at me, I expected him to utter
something truly poetic. Instead he asked, “What’d we decide
to call her again?”
I have to sleep in Daddy’s room
One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was
tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the
light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will
you sleep with me tonight?”
The mother smiled. “I can’t dear,” she said. ‘I have to sleep
in Daddy’s room.”
The little boy replied with a shaking voice, “The big sissy.”
I never want to live in a vegetative state
My wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to
her, “Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative
state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.
If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”
She got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of my beer!
Authentic Irish Toast
A guy and a girl are having a drink together in a bar. The
man raises his glass and says, “Here’s hoping you’re in
Heaven ten minutes before the devil knows you’re dead!”
“What’s that mean?” asks the girl.
“That,” answers her date, “is an authentic Irish toast.”
“Oh. Well, here’s to bread, eggs and cinnamon.”
“Bread, eggs and cinnamon? What’s that?”
The girl says, “That’s French toast.”
Who You Are
I know of your anger
Yet I will not participate
Your tears I can share
But do not commiserate
I know the darkness of fear
Is only the absent of light
I know it’s your soul, not your eyes
That brings you true sight
I know in times of despair
It seems I am so very far
But I am not, I am with you
I just know “Who You Are”
-John Alexander
