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!

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

Extra prayers for Israel...

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
