Used vs. Loved

A friend sent me this and I thought it was to profound to pass up.

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a

stone and

scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took

the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing

he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

7 December 2009 Remembers

The day dawned and my heart was with my mind thinking of our lost servicemen and women from WW2 and other wars.

I was young when this war happened and it affected almost every family of my parents siblings in one way or another.

My husbands Uncle did not make it home. My Uncle's ship sank at Pearl Harbor. He got so mad at the Japanese he tossed his revolver ( no bullets) at the pilot of a plane when he buzzed the field and hit him in the head. He told us so many incidents that… Continue

Christmas Ornaments

Christmas Ornaments yes I have some, some rather old some rather new. I bought a New Hallmark for a grandchild today, in hopes it will serve as warm memories over years.

Our first Christmas 50 years ago was spent apart. He was on Guam and I was with my family in California.

I was delighted to… Continue

Christmas Advent

The days before Christmas are filled with much meaning.

The hours before Christmas fill me with care.

I am hoping the thanks for the family and friends

will bring a new warming amongst humans.

Each day is filled with meaning and purpose and

prayer.

May we present ourselves in a manner that

God is pleased.

The world is large and many are hungry

we are a nation of much that can share.

Let us hope we can make this a… Continue
