CHAPTER 11, PAGE 29

YOU'D NEVER KNOW

You'd never know me,

if we passed within inches on the street.

If your picture was in the paper or on TV

I'd not have a clue it was you!

I don't know if you are a Jew or Christian,

Orthodox or Islam, Shinto or Atheist,

Black or White or Asian or Hispanic.

But I know something very important about you.

You have forwarded encouraging messages,

kind words, soft smiles, hard politics,

lovely pictures, laugh-aloud jokes,

sermons, lectures, newspaper clippings,

family photos of fat babies and fat cats,

scripture verses and love.......lots of love!

If you did know me,

you would know that these emails

have seen me through some

dark and heavy days and nights;

have lifted my spirits for a moment,

an hour, a day.

You never know how many times

your forwards have hit the mark

like an arrow to the bulls eye.

So thank you, all over the world,

whoever you are, dear sister or brother.

We know, you and I,

something about each other.

We know the important fact

that somewhere in the world...

someone will be glad they have received

a kind word from another human being today.

GOOD MORNING !

When I read the little poem above I thought of all my friends in J-land that give each other lots of much needed support. Kind words and prayers are written every day to someone – somewhere.

I’m thankful that the internet has given me a way to keep in touch each day with family and friends and will be saying a little prayer for you all today.

It’s Wednesday and Over the Hump Day…Another week almost half over. We’ve been enjoying weather in the mid 50’s-60’s here for the past 4days, but come Friday that ‘S’ word and colder weather are back in the forcast.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Good old days start with good new days, like today.

 Denise Settle

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
