Hi Sandy,
It was my pleasure to attempt to spoil you for the month of April.
I do hope you had a few smiles.
It is as you said, after the spoiling, we are sisters and friends in Gfans.
A warm hug,
Sister Secret 4 U
1. If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always
be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with.
But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats
your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to
realize that you had set it free....... You either married it or gave
birth to it.
2. Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an
aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
3. They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all
that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said,
"Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous
toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "Listen fatty....do it and die."
4. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
5. The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
6. The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what
you're doing, someone else always does.
7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
8. Amazing! ! You hang something in your closet for a while and it
shrinks two sizes!
9. Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain
consciousness.
10. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are
eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they
kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day.
When someone is in your life for a.
REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or
inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you
with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or
spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for
the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or
at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the
relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must
realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is
done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move
on.
When someone is in your life for a.
SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may
bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you
something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring
turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.
When someone is in your life for a.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must
build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to
accept the lesson, love the person or people involved; and put what you have
learned to use in all other relationships, and areas of your life. It is
said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a
part of my life.
Meeting the Easter Bunny
by Rowena Bennett
On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
"Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house
and 'bout the house a-lighlty I am going."
"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
"Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.
He perked his ears
and winked his eye and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail -- what tail he had --
and stood up on his toes.
"I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime."
-- So he hippety-hopped away.
Good Friday:
The Friday of the week is the Good Friday. This is the day on which Jesus was crucified outside the walls of Jerusalem, at the top of the Calvary hill. And the Christian says that Jesus sacrificed himself for man's sins, and was crucified.
This day is marked by solemn observations in memory of Jesus' crucifixion. By dying Jesus accomplished a reconciliation between God and man. And accordingly the crucified image of Jesus or, the Cross itself, came to be regarded as the main symbol of faith for Christians.
The anormity of God's sacrifice of his Son because he loves us so. I can hardly comprehend such love.
The Trial Of Jesus
After the blind were healed, and the crippled did walk,
Some men were jealous, and then there was talk.
This man, Jesus, the reason for fame?
The Son of God? What an outrageous claim!
He's just a man, watch him and know.
It's blasphemy, that's what! Arrest him! Now! Go!
Thirty pieces of silver bought Jesus that day.
Betrayed by a kiss, they took Him away!
They tried Him, they thought they had it down pat!
But some said He did this, others said He did that!
They finally agreed, they said with a nod.
He blasphemed when He said, He's the Son of God!
The custom of the day was to set someone free.
Pilate said, "This Jesus, is who it should be!"
The people said, "No, release Barabbas to us!"
They kept on until they raised quite a fuss!
The people, led by the chief priests that day,
Said, "Take this Jesus, and let's make him pay!"
He was dressed in purple, the color of kings.
They mocked Him and then, cast lots for His things!
They beat Him, spit on Him, everything they could do.
Put a crown of thorns on His head, pushed it down too!
They walked Him up the hill to Golgotha's top.
With His followers behind, crying, "Oh, no, please stop"!
There they nailed Him down to the cross.
Then they dropped the cross into a hole with a toss!
While He hung there hurting too much to think,
Then they gave Him vinegar to drink!
For hours He hung there,
The people stayed, too.
He said, "Father, forgive them,
They know not what they do!"
The sky got dark, the Temple veil tore in two.
Everyone was scared, didn't know what to do!
Some of the people ran away. Went somewhere to hide!
And there on the cross - the Son of God died!
Please don't forget, even for a moment, He is risen!!
How can we ever thank Him enough?

The Journey
Ships are not built for the harbor,
surely in life there is more,
The journey is what brings fulfillment
to a life that is worth living for.
From the heart comes the hope of the present,
from memories dreams of the past.
From the soul comes the spirit of living,
from experience lessons that last.
Look ahead to see where you are going,
look behind to see where you have been.
Look inside to discover your purpose,
then let your life's voyage begin.
Take care as you sail to your future.
Share kindness with people you meet.
Take heart in the oceans you conquer,
till your journey through life is complete.
And when your life's voyage is over,
when your sun starts to set in the sea,
pass on to the next generation
The joy that the journey can be.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
-- Albert Camus
Friends are God's way of taking care of us.

"I have a face I cannot show.
I make the rules up as I go.
Just try and love me if you can.
Are you strong enough to be my fan?"
I enjoyed my time spent spying on you. Our time is almost up. I
hope to
see you soon in Gfans. The spoiling is almost complete, but not the
friendship.
Always,
Sister Secret
George Carlin's-Just a thought
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet
more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have
multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,
love too seldom,and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living,
but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been
all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street
to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan
more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We
build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can
bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share
this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give
time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Well, Sandy, it's been fun. (smile)
I enjoyed making friends with you and hope to get to know you even better in Gfans.
Very warm hugs,
Love,
Julie
