TODAY'S THOUGHT: "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut
butter quite like unrequited love."
(Charles M. Schulz, 1922 -
2000)
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: And I will very gladly spend and be
spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am
loved. 2 Corinthians 12:15 NKJV
TODAY'S FUNNY: On Valentine's Day before the birth of our
first child, I brought a flowering plant home to my pregnant wife. "They're
mums," I told her, pleased with my pun.
Since it was already a week past
her due date, my wife replied, "You should have gotten impatiens."
Have a great Valentine's Day!
Ricky
AN EXTRA FUNNY: Grandpa and Grandpa were sitting in their
porch rockers watching the beautiful sunset and reminiscing about "the good old
days," when Grandma turned to
Grandpa and said, "Honey, do you remember when
we first started dating and you used to just casually reach over and take my
hand?"
Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and obligingly took her aged
hand in his.
With a wry little smile, Grandma pressed a little farther,
"Honey, do you remember how after we were engaged, you'd sometimes lean over and
suddenly kiss me on the cheek?"
Grandpa leaned slowly toward Grandma
and gave her a lingering kiss on her wrinkled cheek.
Growing bolder
still, Grandma said, "Honey, do you remember how, after we were first married,
you'd kind of nibble on my ear?"
Grandpa slowly got up from his rocker
and headed into the house. Alarmed, Grandma said, "Honey, where are you
going?"
Grandpa replied, "To get my
teeth!"
