Perks Of Being 50 And Beyond

At the root of every gray hair, there is a dead brain cell.

Someone had to remind me,
So I'm reminding you, too.
Don't laugh..... It is all true!

Perks of reaching 50
Or being over 60
and heading towards
70 & beyond!

1.
Kidnappers are not very
Interested in you.

2.
In a hostage situation,
You are likely to be released first.

3.
No one expects you to run --
Anywhere.

4.
People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) and ask,
'Did I wake you?'

5.
People no longer view you as a
Hypochondriac.

6.
There is nothing left
To learn the hard way.

7.
Things you buy now
Won't wear out.

8.
You can eat
Supper at 4 PM.

9..
You can live without sex
But not your glasses.

10.
You get into heated arguments
About pension plans.

11..
You no longer think of speed limits
As a challenge..

12.
You quit trying to hold
Your stomach in no matter who walks
Into the room.

13.
You sing along
With elevator music.

14.
Your eyes won't get
Much worse.

15.
Your investment in health insurance
Is finally beginning to pay off.

16..
Your joints are more accurate meteorologists
Than the national weather service..

17.
Your secrets are safe with your friends
Because they can't remember them either.

18.
Your supply of brain cells is finally down to
A manageable size.

19.
You can't remember
Who sent you this list.

And you notice these are all
In big print
For your convenience.

Forward this to everyone
You can remember. confused

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:

Never, NEVER,NEVER,
Under any circumstances,
Take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on
The same night!

Symmetry

The life of Jesus is a perfect full circle of semmetry. His conception and birth brought Him into the world. His ressurection and ascension took Him out of this world. At the beginning of His life, He was conceived in a womb from which never a child had been born. At the end of life, He was placed in a tomb in which never a man had been laid. In this virgin womb, He was hidden for nine months; in the virgin tomb, for three days.

He left Mary's womb with a baby's cry and Joseph's tomb with a victor's shout. He was born to give a life that's forgiven and was raised to give us a life that's forever. His body was sown perishable, but was raised imperishable. It was sown in dishonor but was raised in glory. It was sownn in weakness but raised in power!

Because of His sacrifice, we can claim the words of the hymnist as our own: "Living, He loved me; dying He saved me; buried He carried my sins far away; rising He justified freely forever; one day He's coming--O glorious day"!

(Wilbur Chapman 1908)

Your Eggnog’s Too Strong

If you see a fat man…
Who’s jolly and cute,
wearing a beard
and a red flannel suit,
and if he is chuckling
and laughing away,
while flying around
in a miniature sleigh
with eight tiny reindeer
to pull him along,
then lets face it…
Your eggnog’s too strong!!!

Christmas Card From Pets:

We, your cats,
at Christmas say,
Thanks for caring
for us each day.
We love this season,
all green and red,
And by the way,
the hamster’s dead.
Meow, glub, meow, glub,
a merry Christmas Wish.
Meow, glub, meow, glub,
from your cat and goldfish.
I’ve always loved
the Christmas Feast.
I’ve heard this year
it’s ham.
Too bad I’ve other
plans this time.
Love, Your Pot-bellied Pig named Sam.

Treasure Your Family



When he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
Luke 15:20


Last February, John Allen, a British lawyer living in Holland, smiled across the supper table at his wife and three sons, ages eight to fourteen. Someone snapped a picture. They were happy. A family vacation to Indonesia was in the works.


Five months later the five Allens boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, but somewhere over Ukraine the plane was blown out of the sky. The whole family perished in an instant, along with their fellow passengers.

We can’t comprehend the evil and calamity in the world. Such tragedies deeply upset and depress us, but they also represent a poignant reminder. Take every opportunity to cherish your loved ones. If you’re peeved with a family member, forgive them. If you’ve neglected them, give them a call. If you’ve rebelled against your dad or mom, go home with the humble attitude of a repentant prodigal. If you’ve been tense with your kids, give them an extra hug. If you live far away, work harder to stay in touch. Whatever it takes, take care of your family as well as you can. It’s at the core of God’s plan and provision for the world.

God bless everyone!

Although this married couple enjoyed their luxury fishing boat together, it was the husband who was behind the wheel operating the boat.
He was concerned about what might happen in an emergency. So one day out on the lake he said to his wife, "Please take the wheel, dear. Pretend that I am having a heart attack. You must get the boat safely to shore."
So she drove the boat to shore.
Later that evening, the wife walked into the living room where her husband was watching television.
She sat down next to him, switched the TV channel, and said to him, "Please go into the kitchen, dear.
Pretend I'm having a heart attack. You must set the table, cook the dinner, and wash the dishes."



A man is told by his doctor that he is dying of an inoperable brain tumor, with only weeks to live.
"We do have hope," the doctor says. "We can attempt a brain transplant. However, it is very experimental, and very expensive."
"How much would it cost me?" the patient asks.
"Normally a man's brain transplant is $100,000. You are in luck, we have a woman's brain available, and that one is only $10,000."
Confused the man asks, "Why is the man's brain so expensive?"
The doctor replies, "Because the woman's brain has been used."

JUST A FEW GOOD SMILES & LAUGHS..."

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets.

Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair-stylist you like.

Perhaps you know why women over fifty don't have babies: They would put them down somewhere and forget where they left them.

One of the life's mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.

It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show.

Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing.

I don't mind the rat race, but I could do with a little more cheese.

I had to give up jogging for my health. My thighs kept rubbing together and setting my pantyhose on fire.

Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and it shrinks two sizes.

The only time a woman wishes she were a year older is when she is expecting a baby.

Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but she can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

Can it be a coincidence that "STRESSED" is "DESSERTS" spelled backwards.

Angry Birds

Students at New Mexico State University had trouble walking to class last fall after hawks built nests in trees by the gym. The mother hawks considered pedestrians threats to their hatchlings, and several students sustained injuries from the dive-bombing birds. One person was struck hard enough to suffer post-concussion symptoms that included dizziness and nausea.

If there’s anything worse than an unexpected encounter with an angry hawk, it’s having a face-off with an angry person. We never know when we’ll encounter an irritable or irate driver, customer, coworker, boss, or stranger. The air nowadays is filled with angry birds. Sometimes they even nest under our roofs. And sometimes the angriest bird is the one in the mirror.

But consider this. Our attitude toward others reveals our genuine attitude toward God. When someone is angry, it’s often symptomatic of spiritual need. When we’re out of sorts, it’s a reflection of our spiritual health. In our approach to others today and in our responses, let’s be as gentle as possible. Be patient. Angry reactions do not bring about the righteous results God desires.

…for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
James 1:20

Have a blessed day!
