0.) Holiday Message:
As we approach the end of the year, I see how our numbers have grown and realize just how much we need each other, how much each has helped each other and how much we all have grown. It helps me personally realize that old saying in Job, �Life is not a puzzle to solve but a riddle to ponder.� And we do just that every day, we contemplate, brood over and come to some type of conclusions that helps make life a bit more manageable.

The story of genesis and the fact that a forbidden fruit was placed in an area were man could be tempted, makes me wonder� yet realize, we have a choice. We can choose how we are going to react to situations. We cannot control another�s choice, or take temptation away, nor should we. However, we can find what works for ourselves so not go against our own divine rights and convictions.

Here at Single Parents Network, I feel, this is our salvation, our own unique way we have gone about to find many resources and offer our own knowledge so that another can handle their unique situation in a fashion that allows us to make healthy choices. We don�t have to agree with another to understand. All information is food for thought so we can choose.

Single Parents Network is a banquet of thoughts, and I want to, from every aspect of my being, say, �Thank you for sharing what you have to offer.� I can not, ever say that enough.

This Network is the creation from all and each member.

1.) Holiday Shopping:

I have found it hard this year to shop. Little money and a big heart cannot buy to much. So this year I am making cards by hand, ok, with the use of my computer. In addition, I have settled on magazines for the kids. I can then make payments for their gifts and they will get them all year long. As always, I love the Zoo Magazine. It is for kids 4 to 12 and it has all kinds of articles about animals. But I do that every year. So now I have to hunt for new titles.
Here are some links if you want to use my idea for your kids.
