JUST DROP A WORD OF KINDNESS!

JUST DROP A WORD OF KINDNESS

Drop an unkind word, or careless:

in a minute it is gone;

But there's half-a-hundred ripples

circling on and on and on.

They keep spreading, spreading,

spreading from the center as they go,

And there is no way to stop them,

once you've started them to flow.
Drop an unkind word, or careless:

in a minute you forget;

But there's little waves a-flowing,

and there's ripples circling yet,

And perhaps in some sad heart

a mighty wave of tears you've stirred,

And disturbed a life was happy

Where you dropped that unkind word.

~~~~~~~~~~

Drop a word of cheer and kindness:

just a flash and it is gone;

But there's half-a-hundred ripples

circling on and on and on,

Bearing hope and joy and comfort

on each splashing, dashing wave

Till you wouldn't believe the volume

of the one kind word you gave.
Drop a word of cheer and kindness:

in a minute you forget;

But there's gladness still a-swelling,

and there's joy circling yet,

And you've rolled a wave of comfort

whose sweet music can be heard

Over miles and miles of water

just by dropping one kind word.
~By James W. Foley~

I came home from work today

and done a little sewing for two

of my co-workers. Thankfully I

got it all done. I was struggling

on one of the three items.. My

machine just did not want to sew

the material!.. But I got it finished.

And then I started hemming the sleeves

on Norman's suit jacket (by hand) for the

upcoming weddings. I still have to buy a

spool of thread to put the buttons back on.

"maybe tomorrow"

the first wedding is Saturday!

-----------------------------------

After I get the supper dishes done, I

plan on working on the first set of

jewelry for me to wear to the first wedding.

I like doing them myself, I can pretty much

get them to match perfectly "for me".

Others may not think so : / but O well!

The new beads that Abigail and I picked

out came today : } I like them, and I

think she'll be happy with them too.

I just don't know yet what she is going to wear.

Her Easter dress is up here, and

still looks like it hasn't been worn ???

------------------------------------

Norman dug a hole and put in a post

for our tomatoes to hang on.. and

did a great job.. It's really nice!

Thanks Babe!

The ones in the topsy turvy's!

They have already grown to long for

where we had them planted.

THANKS GOD!

-----------------------------

Oh, I emailed Leisa today, bless her

heart... now they are also fighting a virus!

Wow, as if she wasn't having trouble enough.

But still, she is going to babysit for her cousin

the next few days. She's such a kind hearted

and loving person. GOD BLESS!

Please still keep her in your prayers, that her

health issues will soon be taken care of!

=============

Also, pray for Frances and her health issue!

And also that it will quickly and safely be taken care of.

Pray too for Barbara's Mother, and my Mother

and their health issues. God bless both of them.

And continue to pray for Candi, (our niece) at the loss

of her baby boy Kolton Samuel last week.

GOD BLESS & COMFORT PLEASE!

Pray also for us that we will both find a job

for the summer (at least) Or, that the job

we've been praying about will be His Will

for our lives.. And for guidance for us both

in this matter. Thanks for your prayers!
