I Have Chosen to Become a Possibilitarian

http://kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com/2012/06/possibilitarian-project-jo-packham.html

Kelly Rae Roberts of http://kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com/ introduced to me to the word. Well, actually the wonderful Jo Packham of www.wherewomencreate.com introduced me to the word, and then led me to Kelly’s beautiful blog. (Thank you, Jo!)


Yesterday morning I was reading my copy of Daily Word, and what do I find as the reading for Monday, July 2?
“I engage in “possibility thinking” releasing thoughts of lack or limitation.”

I believe God is leading me to become a possibilitarian, and I say,

“YES!”

After all, Jesus was a possibilitarian.

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  - Jesus as recorded in the Bible Matthew 19:26

Are you going to become a possibilitarian?

With love, Terry

Getting Ready

My babies

graduated from college. Yes, they are quadruplets.

Actually, they graduated from colleges – 4 different ones. Next Saturday we are celebrating their graduations. There is so much to do: food shop, stain the deck, clean the house, cook, shop some more, decorate. Then, of course, are the things I want to get done before the company arrives: wash the windows, paint every room, buy and hang new curtains, clean the carpets. Okay, I have to let go of some things. So, I am making a list of what I can reasonably achieve, which brings me back to food shop, clean the house, decorate and call a caterer. Yes, my husband and I did manage to stain the deck, and there are a few windows that definitely need washing. I need to remind myself that friends and family are coming to celebrate – not to check out the cleanliness of my house. Hmm, do you think it is unreasonable to want to plant a garden in the front of the house and pave the walkway to the house?

WWW Wednesday

Today I am joining the www.shouldbereading.wordpress.com WWW Wednesday Party.
The first W is, “What are you currently reading?” I am presently reading:
 This book was recommended to me by my cousin. I am a special education teacher. She is a retired high school English teacher. She told me that every teacher should read this book. So, I am. I am only on page 25, but the 24 pages I did read captivated me.

The second W is, “What did you recently finish?” I just finished and wrote an amazon.com review for

I met the author Debra A. Boyle www.linkedin.com. She was seeking people to read her book and write an Amazon review for her. I agreed to do this.

I purchased this book at BJs a while back just for some summer reading, and summer is here! Yay!

The Lemonade Blanket Project

Are you a knitter or crocheter? Do you sew or quilt? Do you know someone who knits, crochets, sews or quilts?



Please consider making a blanket for The Lemonade Blanket Project. The Lemonade Blanket Project collects handmade blankets to be given to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. (www.alexslemonade.com) The foundation distributes the blankets to children who have been impacted by childhood cancer.




If you do not knit or crochet would you please pass the word about this project? The goal of The Lemonade Blanket Project is to provide at least fifty blankets a year to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. If we receive more than fifty the Foundation will distribute the blankets to children’s hospitals.

The Lemonade Project

Have you heard of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation?



Alex was a beautiful little girl who had cancer. At the tender age of four, Alex came up with the idea to have a lemonade stand to raise money for the hospital so they could find a cure. You can read this amazing story in the beautiful children’s book Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand.





You can listen to the book being read by my friend Tracy here.

Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand

This year my fifth grade students held a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. My students raised $4,865.00 for the foundation! I am so proud of them!
If you would like to have a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation or to make a donation go to www.alexslemonade.org and you will see a variety of fundraising ideas.
Alex was an amazing little girl. The words in the book on page 29 are, “You see, Alex lived by the words from which her foundation was laid . . . when life give you lemons, just make lemonade.”
