Those pesky forward emails... this one isn't pesky!


  Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
   The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. 
   Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
   As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw
   a hole in the wall and repaired it. 
   When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,
   "Things aren't always what they seem" 

   The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very 
     hospitable farmer and his wife.. 

   After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels 
    sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.
 

   When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the 
    farmer and his wife in tears.

   Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. 
   The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could 
     you have let this happen?

   The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. 
   The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..
   "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.. 

   "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.   Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed   the wall so he wouldn't find it."

   "Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead. 
   Things a ren't always what they seem."
   Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things  don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...

   Yesterday is history.
   Tomorrow a mystery.
    Today is a gift.
    That's why it's called the   present!  

   I think this is special...live and savor every
   moment... This is not a dress rehearsal!

        Right Now - 
   -somebody is thinking of you.
    -somebody is caring about you.
    -somebody misses you    -somebody wants to talk to you.
   -somebody wants to be with you.
    -somebody hopes you aren't in trouble.
    -somebody is thankful for the support you have provided.    -somebody wants to hold your hand.
   -somebody hopes everything turns out all right.
    -somebody wants you to be happy.    -somebody wants you to find him/her.
    -somebody is celebrating your successes.
    -somebody wants to give you a gift.
    -somebody thinks that you ARE a gift.    -somebody loves you.
    -somebody admires your strength.
    -somebody is thinking of you and smiling.
    -somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on.
 



   SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU TO SEND THIS TO THEM 
  
   Never take away anyone's hope.  That may be all they have.
 


Smiles and Courtesy are contagious
Happiness and Kindness are the wealth of living

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in  friendly fire  deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by  E-boats  of the German  Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946  American   servicemen.

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands ,   to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet   to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but  our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help   to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible,  the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel,  we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message,  Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked,  what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy,  with other work than His, What if our feet are walking,  where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him,  Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint  (1862-1932)    I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...
