TATER PEOPLE


 

Some people never seem motivated to participate, but
are just content to watch while others do the work.

They are called “Spec Taters”.



Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted
at finding fault with the way others do the work.

They are called “Comment Taters”.


Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what
to do, but don’t want to soil their own hands.

They are called “Dick Taters”.


Some people are always looking to cause problems by
asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or
too cold, too sour or too sweet.

They  are called “Agie Taters”.

There are those who say they will help, but somehow
just never get around to actually doing the promised help.

They are called “Hezzie Taters”.



Some people can put up a front and pretend to be
someone they are not.

They are called “Emma Taters”.



Then  there are those who love others and do what they
say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever
they are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring real
sunshine into the lives of others.

They are called “Sweet  Taters”.


If you know any “Sweet Taters” send this to them!!

I Love The Lord

If You’ve Ever Been In Love…

Think back (for some of you this will take longer than others) to when you met that man/woman that you just knew would be the one. Remember when you realized/admitted to yourself that you loved him/her.

Now remember how much you wanted to act like you were in a movie, and yell to everyone in the football stadium “I love (fill in the name)!!!!” You told family and friends how perfect he was. You told your boys how she was just what you were looking for.

Well, I told THE LORD I loved Him today. And He said to me, “How much do you love me? You haven’t told anyone how good I’ve been to you. You haven’t shared how perfect my love is. You haven’t spread the good news that I am always there to listen to your problems. You haven’t told your family how I helped you pay your bills when you didn’t have a high paying job, or how I got you a better one. You didn’t tell your boys how I took away that addiction that would have cost you not only your job, but that woman that was just what you were looking for. So how much do you really love me?

So, I said I would share with my friends and family (for starters) just how wonderful, perfect, understanding, patient, loving, unselfish, considerate and forgiving GOD really is. He has blessed me with a family that loves me and friends that I can confide in.

But even more than that He has saved me from a destruction I couldn’t even see coming. He gave to me the peace of knowing Him and He has never broken a promise. Truly He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I stand in my stadium today to yell to you all “I love THE LORD!!!”
