The Cherry On Top!!!

Remembering something that's just TOO HILARIOUS, to NOT share!!! So right after my mom died I was talking to dad of one the kids I bring to church. He was asking me how I was doing with everything, then he tells me that he really understands what I'm going through cuz he was his grandma's caregiver when she was dying! He's like, and let me tell you something, THAT WAS NOT EASY!!!

.

My grandma was bedridden, she had Kidney failure, Heart failure, Alztheimers, Pnomonia, Lung cancer, ANNNNNNND...

BED BUGS!!!

 

#busministrylaughs

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  Of course I waited til I left to ACTUALLY start laughing, buuuut man!!! THANK GOD that was ONE THING my mom did NOT have...BED BUGS!!! Phew!!! Every time YOU think your life is going down hill, name ALL the things that are going wrong and then say,

BUUUUUUUUUUT...

AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE BED BUGS!!!

.
That seriously cracked me up! Gave me a really good laugh amidst my sadness!!! Why take a break from the work of the Lord in your time of grief, God's work will only brighten your day!!!

♥Mary Frances

P.S. No offense to anyone out there that may have bed bugs...I HOPE I never do!!!

Confession Time!!!

I, Mary Frances Ginty have a confession to make...

YES, I said a confession!!! (Hope you all can handle this...are you ready???) HERE IT IS:

I am a THIEF!!! Yes, yes, yes, I know this is shocking news everybody...BUUUUUUUUUT I STEAL!!! What do I steal??? Thank you for asking, I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to tell you all!!!! ;)

.

So last week I went to the county fair with my brother Abe, his wife Grace and their two kids and I brought along with my nephew Odin. Well we're doing the little kiddie rides with all the kiddos for a while, we take a break for lunch buy more tickets and then we're at it again with the kid rides. By this point in the day, it's typical AZ spring weather which means its starting to get pretty warm. All over the fairgrounds they have these HUGE umbrellas on cement blocks to create shade under and around the benches set up as well. However, for whatever reason, the fair staff had not yet opened them, and you needed a special tool to open them, trust me, I had already tried.

.

So my sis-in-law and I are taking turns going on the rides with the kids to try and conserve their tickets, well it was my sis-in-laws turn to ride and while she was doing so, I decided to find a shady place to relax a minute. The only place I could find nearby was one of the umbrellas, though not opened, still had a bit of shade on half of the cement block it was on. Even, though there was a little boy sitting there on half of the shade eating some fries, I figured I would just sit on the other half of the shade. (And NO I didn't steal any of his fries you guys!!! AHAHAHAAAA!!!) 

.

I could tell when I sat down, that this boys father didn't like that I was sitting there with them, buuuuuuuuuut, he didn't say anything, and I just went right on sitting there because hey, it was hot and I wanted shade! So then my brother comes over, and he sits on the other bench, we start chit-chatting, I'm all to my brother, Idk why they don't open these umbrellas, it's getting really warm out, seems like now would be a good time to open them. Well we talk about pretty much NOTHING for a few more minutes just going over what rides we're going to take the kids on next...

.

When I hear  a female voice joining the other little boy and father. She says to her son, Mommy's back, Oh wow, it looks like someone STOLE your shade!!! YES, she said STOLE! She then tells him to scoot over she could get some shade too...I was like thinking in my head, are you seriously kidding me??? YOUR GONNA ACCUSE ME OF STEALING SHADE??? I just ignored her and continued to talk to my brother...I was thinking, I didn't pray long enough this morning to respond to SHADE STEALING ACCUSATIONS!!! I mean, I didn't even KNOW you could OWN SHADE!!! AHAHAHAHAAA!!!

.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT....
There you have it guys,

 I MARY FRANCES GINTY...

AM A SHADE STEALER!!!

YES, I steal SHADE!!!

Got shade??? Better WATCH IT...cuz I'm COMING FOR IT!!!

I guess I'm just a shady girl!!! 

.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 

.

♥Mary Frances :)

P.S. I also steal rocks on top of mountains to relax after a hike...although I prefer the term borrow!!!

P.P.S Had she SHARED her shade with me, I wouldn't have to steal it...guess her mommy never to taught her to share...MINE sure did!!!
.

P.P.P. S. I feel bad for the man married to her, could you imagine being married to a woman that accuses random innocent folks of stealing shade??? Bet he's living on the corner of his rooftop...ahahahaaaaa!!!

All I need to know!!!

Recently, I was talking to a friend and she said something to me that I just LOOOOOVED!!! She was telling me about how she had invited her cousin to church, she said I don't know if he's going to come though. I really want him to, he's gay so I think that makes him hesitate about coming. So I said, WEEEELLLL you know, GOD DELIVERS!!! And what she said back to me is what stood out, she said, AND THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW!!!

.

You guys GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter the sin someone is in, GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter the depths of despair they are in, GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter what they are bound to, GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter what they are addicted too, GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter the mental sickness they are in, GOD DELIVERS!!! The filth and disgust of what they are and have done does not matter, GOD DELIVERS!!! It doesn't matter the emotional state someone is in, GOD DELIVERS!!!

 God is a DELIVERER!!!

.

So often we look at a person, we look at the sin in their life and all the baggage and despair of this world they are carrying with them, and we try to analyze the situation, we to figure it all out, BUUUUUUUUUUT STOP, you don't need to know all their sins, you just need to know, GOD DELIVERS!!!

ARE YOU A SINNER???
GOD DELIVERS!!!

ANNNNNNNNNNND...

THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW!!!

. 

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
.

And such were some of you:

but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

Weight lifting!!!

I saw this quote the other day and absolutely LOOOOOOOVED it!!!

After reading it, I came to the conclusion that

 when it comes to singleness...

 I'm basically a weight lifter!!! 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

You all can start calling me Muscles!!!;)

Hee, hee!!!

.

Do I have any fellow weight lifters out there???

Don't give in, keep lifting, keep building those muscles!!!

 God's got great things in store, Stay strong my friends,

STAY STRONG!!!

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

 (Isaiah 40:31)

View from above!!!

I LOVE being on the airplane and just looking at the clouds...it just totally awwws ME!!! Like they are just like right there...sooo close to you that you just want to reach out and touch the fluffy things!!!

And then as you fly higher and higher, its the weirdest thing, when you have flown up SOOOOO high in the sky that when you look out the airplane window and your looking DOWN now to see the clouds!!! Its soooo cRaZy!!! To think, that these things, the clouds, that are normally are normally so high up and out of your reach...
