THE REAL MEANING OF PEACE

There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peaceful towering mountains all around. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall.

This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest ...perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

Bush’s fault.
If he had only LISTENED to Al Gore, you would have had a warm, mild winter up there in Alaska!
Now, at t
least the Polar ice Cap won’t melt and the polar Bears will flourish! (LOL)

Linda and I had a lovely Garage sale Day.

Today I will RIDE SOLO.

Good afternoon, Arrowhead, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

About 4” of snow total by this morning. Lost my internet in the evening, so shoveled about 3” off the deck and the driveway. Internet came back for about a half hour, but took a hike again. Is up now....I hope for good.

Thanks, Troops and Vets, for your service to our country.

Good evening ladies and (((HUGS))). I stopped at the house for a quick snack before heading back to my ranger job. Hope to get off earlier than midnight like yesterday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the hymns.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Cindy.

We had almost 4” of snow last night. It’s a start. It should help with the next cold spell, which they say is on the way.

How are your tractors doing?

[Cindy]

Hi Kathy.

You’re getting into digging terrority there.

All tractors ready but not being used yet.

We have 2” more or less that is sticking, but mostly we are getting freezing rain, freezing drizzle, etc.

Freezing is the operative word.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no, Cindy....freezing anything is horrible.

Hope your weather “improves” soon.

We were to have 1 - 2” Sunday night, but had close to 4” on Saturday night.....nothing so far this evening.
