THE PRECIOUS GIFT
Once upon a time, when God had finished making the world, he wanted to leave behind a piece of His own divinity, a spark of His essence, a promise to man of what he could become, with effort.
He looked for a place to hide this precious gift because, He explained, what man could find too easily would never be valued by him.
"Then you must hide this gift on the highest mountain peak on earth," said one of his counselors. God shook His head, "No, for man is an adventuresome creature and he will soon enough learn to climb the highest mountain peaks."
"Hide it then, O Great One, in the depths of the earth."
"I think not," said God. "for man will one day discover that he can dig into the deepest parts of the earth."
"In the middle of the ocean then, Master?" God shook His head. "I've given man a brain, you see, and one day he'll learn to build ships and cross the mightiest oceans."
"Where then, Master?" cried His counselors. God smiled, "I'll hide it where every man and woman will be able to find it if they look sincerely and deeply enough.
I'll hide it in their heart

GOOD MORNING!
BRRRCHILL !
It’s another cold day in Northern Ohio. We may warm up a bit, but by tomorrow a ‘Pandhandle Hook’ is coming our way.! This is a weather term for the system that is coming at us. It brings lots of snow.
Depending on how the winds blow we could get a lot of snow or rain, sleet and freezing rain. We’ll just have to wait and see what it will do. One thing for sure is that it is still WINTER.
Tomorrow will start a new month and I’ve already been searching for lots of good things to share with you in February ! It is HEART month, so that means the topic for FEBRUARY will be all about the heart.
Matters of the HEART will offer lots of opportunites for me to share with you
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus.
Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified.
Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life.

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

Awww that is neat! I had it figured out (lol) good for me. lol The heart. We got 8 inches this morning and see where it is heading to Ohio on the weather. Putting up pictures when I get time of the snow. :-) The Ozarks are getting ice with theirs. Thank goodness the wind didn't blow with ours. Like the thought for the day. Have a wonderful day.
