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!

To: All
Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Behind the Scenes
April 2, 2017
Your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
Daniel 10:12
My daughter sent a text message to a friend, in hopes of having a question answered quickly. Her phones messaging service showed that the recipient had read the message, so she waited anxiously for a reply. Mere moments passed, yet she grew frustrated, groaning her annoyance at the delay. Irritation eroded into worry; she wondered whether the lack of response meant there was a problem between them. Eventually a reply came and my daughter was relieved to see their relationship was fine. Her friend had simply been sorting out the details needed to answer the question.
The Old Testament prophet Daniel also anxiously awaited a reply. After receiving a frightening vision of great war, Daniel fasted and sought God through humble prayer (10:3, 12). For three weeks, he received no reply (vv. 2, 13). Finally, an angel arrived and assured Daniel his prayers had been heard since the first day. In the meantime, the angel had been battling on behalf of those prayers. Though Daniel didnt know it at first, God was at work during each of the twenty-one days that elapsed between his first prayer and the angels coming.
The confidence that God hears our prayers can cause us to become anxious when His reply doesnt come when we want it to. We are prone to wonder whether He cares. Yet Daniels experience reminds us that God is at work on behalf of those He loves even when it isnt obvious to us.
Lord, help me to trust Your care for me even when I cant see it.

God is always at work on behalf of His people.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Any improvement in your weather? A step or two towards spring?
Right now it’s 40+ at my house and the sun is trying to come out.

Today was so yucky that Penny REFUSED to go out. When the slop finally stopped (about an hour ago) she finally went out with me and did her business. A whole day’s worth!
That’s weird. it’s nicer in Alaska than it is in MA!

Howdy, Kathy.
Looks like there’s been some decent melting there today. YAY! The roads just might be decent by Monday’s drive to work after all!
Has your mom given you any peace this weekend or has she kept you hoppin’?

Howdy, ML.
From what I’ve heard on tv today, I imagine you have Florida on your mind a LOT this evening. Mother Nature played a rotten April Fools trick on y’all.
