Scripture Rings
by Shannon Long ~ Used by permission
http://www.swtblessings.com/2011/04/scripture-rings.html
My sweet friend Susan asked me to make some scripture rings
for a retreat she and two other ladies are hosting this weekend.
The retreat is a very special retreat-
only for those mothers who have lost children
and I was honored to do something to help.
Although a tad time consuming,
these are super easy to make and a great way to
share scriptures with someone.
Here's how to make them:
1. Print out the scriptures
{see printables below or make your own using a business card template}
and cut them out.
2. Cut out scrapbook paper into rectangles a
tiny bit larger than your scripture cards.
I used a different kind of paper for each verse.
{I used a paper cutter and it was much faster!}
3. Glue the scripture cards on top of the scrapbook rectangles.
4. Take the string off of the tags
{I used these tags}
and glue the scrapbook rectangle in the center of the tag.
5. Take a book ring and put thru the hole in a set of tags.
6. Grab a few pieces of ribbon and tie to the ring
and you are done.
These are awesome to put on your desk,
in your purse or to give as a gift!
You can download the verses HERE.

Motivate Your Child Action Plan
Parenting Insight You Can Use Now
from the book, Motivate Your Child Action Plan
by Dr Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN
Used by permission
It's
good to be practical with children. It's helpful to give specific
instructions about what you want them to do, not just what they
shouldn't do. One way to be practical as you help children develop
character is to use working definitions. We use these a lot in our
counseling to help children understand life more. Here are some
examples, but you can be creative and think of many more.
Obedience is doing what someone says, right away, without being reminded.
Honor is treating people as special, doing more than what's expected, and having a good attitude.
Perseverance is hanging in there even after you feel like quitting.
Attentiveness is showing people you love them by looking at them when they say their words.
Patience is waiting with a happy heart.
Self-discipline is putting off present rewards for future benefits.
Gratefulness is being thankful for the things I have instead of grumbling about the things I don't have.
You
don't have to use them all. Just choose the one that your child needs
right now and teach how to put that character quality into practice. Put
them up around the house. This positive approach gives kids a vision
for what they need to work on.
Find more ideas about building character in your kids in the book Motivate Your Child Action Plan by Dr Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN.

Day by Day
by Lina Sandell
"Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand."

16 Invasive Species Sold at Garden Centers You Should Never Buy
http://www.epicgardening.com/invasive-species-sold-at-garden-centers/
Note from Lois: This is a list of invasive plants. However, if you have an enclosed area in which to plant these, it works just fine, as long as the roots can't travel underground.
Over many years of gardening, we have also found tiger lilies, lamb's ear, vinca vine, and some herbs like peppermint, oregano, and garlic chives to be quite invasive.
This is the list given in this article, but you'll want to go to this site to see the photos and additional information.
Chinese Wisteria
Bamboo
Creeping Euonymus
English Ivy
Japanese Honeysuckle Vine
Winged Burning Bush
Nandina/Sacred Bamboo
Chinese Privet
Autumn Olive
Callery/Bradford Pear
Periwinkle
Japanese Barberry
Princess Tree
Sweet Autumn Clematis
Weeping Lovegrass
Japanese Spirea

Can Dogs Eat Bananas? 10 Toxic Foods, 23 Safe Ones & A Few in the Middle
by Jenny Parsons

Note from Lois: The link above includes photos and much more information.
Dog owners have a lot of responsibilities in their hands when it comes to taking care of their pets. They must be well-versed in different things that are good for their four-legged friends as well as those that could possibly harm them. Apart from providing them with shelter, dogs must also get their daily exercise and get check ups, just like humans do.
It is also important to inform other people in your household about the food items that are safe and not safe for your dog to consume. Too often, pet owners just toss food into the dog’s mouth without being mindful if it is safe for the dog or not. While humans consider it sweet when a dog shares food from their plates, there could be risks to these pets that we are not aware of.
For example, dogs have a hard time eating popcorn. It’s dangerous for their teeth as well as their tummies. If you really want to give your dog popcorn, it is good to know that there’s a special kind of popcorn treats for dogs. Instead, you can try giving your dogs more fruit and vegetables. Carrots, bananas, broccoli, pumpkin are among the recommended food for dogs. These are all easy to chew, digest and metabolize.
On the other hand, fruits like grapes and avocado as well as nuts and garlic are not recommended for your dogs. Interestingly, grapes have an adverse effect on dogs’ renal systems so it would be best not to give your dogs any.
We’ve prepared an infographic detailing some of the most common food that is good, bad, and should be given in moderation to dogs. Do let us know of other items on your list so we can share it to fellow dog owners.
