Just be thankful!!!

Have you ever told your kid something, and then it comes flying back your face????

Soooooooo my niece and nephew are caught up in the whole eating takis obsession, I used to love them as well til my taste buds got all messed up from a certian popular virus in which I've had twice...

So my sister kinda likes them, not a lot but just enough to ask her kids for one when she buys them each a little bag. Well she's telling me last night in her room about how it was amazing that when she asked her kids for one, they each somehow managed to find like THE SMALLEST CHIP in the bag to share with her.

She's like, I mean, they each literally had THE SMALLEST chip from their bag within seconds for me. She's like, and it wasn't a broken chip either, it was an actual whole chip that they managed to find, just sooooooooooooo small!!!

Well as she's telling me this, Odin, without missing a beat says,

JUST BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU GET MOM!!!

Me and my sister just busted up laughing!!! Cuz we're ALWAYS saying that to him! If he wants more, or something else, or a different color, we just say, " Just Be thankful for what you get!" This kids, seriously one of THE FUNNIEST kids everrrrrr!!!

#ThankfulWeGotHim!!!

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
