FINDERS KEEPERS AND GIVERS
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.
The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune.
He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious:
Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.
GOOD MORNING !
The birthday celebration had begun ! I got my first two cards yesterday. One from my Dad and one from my youngest sister and her hubby.. They were the funny kind so I’ve put the verses below
From my Dad:
Don’t worry your pretty head my dear you’re a whole year younger…
than you’ll be next year!
From my sister and her hubby:
A birthday can do wonders for a person…
Wonder where my sunglasses are?
Wonder what birthday this is?
I love cute cards and the SMILES they bring.
Thought for Today
The comfortable and comforting people are those who look upon the bright side of life; gathering its roses and sunshine and making the most that happens seem the best.

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