    • Hug

      From SST October 19

      Subject: Acts 2:38
      A woman had just returned to her home from an evening

      of church services, when she was startled by an intruder.

      She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its

      valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!'
      (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so

      that your sins may be forgiven.)

      The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly

      called the police and explained what she had done.

      As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked

      the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old

      lady did was yell a scripture to you.'

      'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an

      ax and two 38s!'

      All is well here in Sunny Spain. Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time just now. Loving thoughts sent your way hopefully will help. Haven't been on for a while as I have been so busy with other things - haven't had time to dwell on anything really. Big Hugs. Rab.

    • Hug

      From SST September 22

      One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

      So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

      Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

      Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

      I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

      I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

      Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

      I LOVE YA!!!

      Live today because tomorrow is not promised..
