Train Good News

A large, two-engined train was making its way across America. While crossing the Western mountains, one of the engines broke down. “No problem, we can make it to Denver and get a replacement engine there,” the engineer thought, and carried on at half power. Farther on down the line (if you didn’t guess by now), the other engine broke down, and the train came to a standstill in the middle of nowhere.

The engineer needed to inform the passengers about why the train had stopped, and always trying to look on the bright side of things, made the following announcement: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time until the additional engines arrive. The good news is that you didn’t take this trip in a plane!”

Hi Buddy!

Hope you have a happy day!

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
The IRS keeps you broke.
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keep You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only Buddies keep You Going!

Dear Kitty, I was so very happy to hear that your mother in law is now at home. There is no place like home for
healing! Its great news that she is left with no bad
effects from the stroke. I know you and your husband
are so happy about her! Appreciate your letting us
know and sorry I was a bit late in answering. Your way
with words touches my heart, sweet Kitty! ((((HUGS))))

My condolences on the sad loss of Misti. May all who love her be comforted.

A Sparrow’s Faith

I’m just a little Sparrow
I have no pedigree
I’m rarely ever noticed
But the Lord is watching me

He gave me a coat of feathers
‘Tis very plain I know
Without a speck of color
For it wasn’t made for show

It keeps me warm in winter,
Protects me from the rain
Were it trimmed in gold or silver,
Perhaps would make me vain

I have no barn or storehouse
I neither sow nor reap
God gives my daily portion,
With never a seed to keep

There are many other Sparrows
All over the world they’re found
And my Father always knows
When one falls to the ground

I’m only one little Sparrow
A bird of low degree
I know my Father’s love
Dost thou know His love for thee?

I’m glad you liked the fountain, Meg!

Thank you for your condolences for Misti and
family and friends. I’m sure they need all
support. May God Bless all of them.

Oh, JC, that looks SO inviting for the birds - and I am glad that the turtles are there, making it more of a ‘water’ space, for all the critters!

Thank you Kitty Mittens. Marilyn is about the same. She is eating now, small portions. The nurse actually got her to sit on the side of the bed for 3 minutes yesterday.
A week ago today I said my goodbye to her......
Yesterday we harmonized in singing “ Jesus is The Sweetest Name I know.”!!!!!!

A day at a time!
