HOW TO SPEND THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
he referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning....to the end.

he noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered the most of all
was the dash between those years.

for the dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth......
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

for it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash.
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

so think about this long and hard
are there things you'd like to change?
for you never know how much time is left.
(you could be at "dash mid-range.")

if we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

and be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

if we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile.......
remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

so, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash.....
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your DASH?

To the world you may be one person,
But to one person you may be the world!

The guitar player was ill, but we had drums and harmonica, and i alternated between bass and guitar, depending on the song.

I sounded nice, and i debuted a new song i wrote based on Matthew 5 (The Beatitudes).

The potholes still exist, but I know where they are now.

“I” sounded nice was supposed to be “IT” sounded nice!

Yeesh.

Maybe I sounded nice too, but I’m not the judge of that...LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Beautiful, Meg...what a perfect place to just sit and admire the wonders of God’s world.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound....

Thanks, Mac.

It’s actually raining right now. Hopes it keeps up for at least a few hours.

[MEG33]

Thank you so much, Kathy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It seems those potholes could cause a lawsuit if the wrong person steps in one. They need to be filled in with sand or rocks or something so they aren’t so bad.

Glad you sounded good and congrats on the new song.

My hat's off to whoever made that photo.

God Bless and protect them all!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
