The Easter Bunny!!!

A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place. Candy, too.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the Bunny carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful Bunny was dead.

The driver felt guilty and began to cry.

A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it. There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do? "

The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal.

Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50 yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and waved again!!!!

The man was astonished.

He said to the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your spray can? What was it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?"

The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label.

It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

Is this the way to Amarillo

Just bought this single today - Comic Relief one with Peter Kay and it has a copy of the Comic Reief video that you can play on your computer. Definately a good stress reliever - I dare anyone to watch it and not have a giggle. Especially when you turn it up really loud and dance around with your daughter in her purple Easter bunny ears!!! :) :) :)

Yes I am still here!!!

Not blogged for a while and just thought I would let everyone know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. Chunky (Garden Furniture - where I work) season has now started and I am working at Craft Shows most weekend from now on. I was at Windsor this weekend - no tea with the queen or anything very posh but it does mean my usually busy life gets even more hectic. Also the 40 days of purpose is not being read in the 40 days - perhaps it will be 80 days of purpose for me!!! I was blessed by the last small group we had when it talked about slowing down to have real fellowship with each other. I find this hard - my life usually clocks a few speeding tickets along the way. I am trying to conciously slow down a bit and consider what I am doing and maybe even finish a task or two!! It works well when you can actually do it :)

Leave the knots to Him

A little boy having missed his bus because of tangled shoe laces looked
at the nearby man with tear-filled eyes and said

“Do you untie knots”

“Yes” said the man

Jesus says the same

Life gets tangled, people mess up. We never outgrow the urge to look up and say “Help”.

No matter how big or little the knot, Jesus is always saying “Yes” to our request and he is able to do more than we can imagine when we leave the knots in Hhis hands

Max Lucado

NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO FAR MORE ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS WITHIN US. . .
Ephesians 3.20

Leave the knots to him 

A soft place to fall

What do I blog about now - seeing as I am being nagged by Pen to blog. I have caught the dreaded bloggers cold and am busy memorising the verse "man shall not live by Lemsip alone" or something like that. Had to work at a show on Sunday last (Mothers Day - which I missed most of with the kids) which did not help the cold standing outside selling Garden Furniture at Woburn Safari Park for about 9 hours!!
I am lagging terribly behind with the 40 days of purpose I think I am at about day 14 when I think we should be on about day 23 from Sarah's blog. Added to this, I am having trouble sleeping so thought I would leave Darren snoring in bed to come down to catch up on reading and now can't even find 40 days of purpose book anyway!!!
Do you ever feel wrung out and ready to throw the towel in? At the stage of can't even find the towel to throw!! Well that's just about me at the mo - how inspiring is this turning out to be.
But I am reminded of a phrase that Dr Phil (American TV life coach - v good) uses - that we should have a soft place to fall. I have that in God. When I feel wrung out, that I can do no more, that I am weak and too far behind to catch up, when I have lost my towel to throw, my marbles and everything else, My God will be my soft place to fall. His arms will hold me when I can hold no more. When I have only the strength to 'be' he says 'Come and rest in my presence'. So for now, that is what I will do.
Tomorrow I will find my marbles, my towel and my strength but for tonight I will be falling in my soft place.
