A married man left work early one Friday, but instead of going home, he spent the weekend partying with the boys.
When he finally returned home on Sunday night, his wife really got on his case and stayed on it.
After a few of hours of swearing and screaming, his wife paused and pointed at him and made him an offer.
'How would you like it if you didn't see me for a couple of days?'.....
The husband couldn't believe his luck, so he looked up, smiled and said, 'That would suit me just fine!!'
Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife.
Tuesday and Wednesday went by and he still didn't see her.
Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Read Each One Carefully & Think About It a Second or Two
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, & the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand & touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can' t have them
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on someone, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting & just be more careful about who you trust next time around..
12. Make yourself a better person & know who you are before you try & know someone else & expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

I would like to wish Shabbat Shalom to all.
Shalom says it all. Shalom means more than "peace." Shalom means completeness, wholeness - an encompassing sense of fullness, wholesomeness.

Having lost a niece, with all the questions in one's mind about why and about how God could allow it, this piece makes me think, this is how it is....
She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.
She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see
him?'
The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make
it.'
Sally said, 'Why do little get cancer? Doesn't God care any more?
Where were you, God, when my needed you?'
The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your ? One of the
nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the
university.'
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to . She
ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a
lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock
of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University
for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but
Jimmy said, ' Mom , I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some
other little boy spend one more day with his Mom .' She went on, 'My Jimmy
had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help
others if he could.'
Sally walked out of 's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after
spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's
belongings on the seat beside her in the car.
The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house.
She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his
hair to her 's room.
She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his
room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and,
hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a
folded letter. The letter said:
'Dear Mom ,
I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you,
or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will
always love you, Mom , even more with each day. Someday we will see each
other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be
so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play
with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like
the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls
like, you know.
Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and
Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will
take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch
them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.
Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD!
And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was
somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a
letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't
allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own
personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the
angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give
you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I
needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His
Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His
.
Oh, by the way, Mom , no one else can see what I've written except you. To
everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have
to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the
Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm
sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all
gone... I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't
stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy
to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Hi guys, it is heartwarming to see how many have commented on my absence. I want to thank you, it is nice to know you are missed.
I have decided to spend some more time in the real world. I found that I spent more and more time online and even missed when not being able to read the blogs.
Lol, I even offered to watch a friend's cattle as he moved and have not been able relocate them. So, now I am a cowgirl 2 hours a day.
Some other major changes, I sold my horses and have decided to travel light as I want to change careers, although I have not given much thought to what I want to do. Does someone have some work on a farm for me please, I am getting out of the ratrace.
I am still popping in every once in a while so I am not completely gone.
One thing is certain, I am missing you guys terribly.
Love you all

Old Friends

Two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What has the world done to you, my old friend?" The sad fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me forty thousand dollars."
"That's a lot of money."
"But you see, two weeks ago, a cousin I never even knew died, and left me eighty-five thousand free and clear."
"Sounds like you've been blessed...."
"You don't understand!" he interrupted. "Last week my great-aunt passed away. I inherited almost a quarter of a million."
Now he was really confused. "Then, why do you look so glum?"
"This week... Nothing!"
That's the trouble with receiving something on a regular basis. Even if it is a gift, we eventually come to expect it. Someone once suggested to me a way to test someone's character. The natural tendency is that if we receive a gift long enough, we come to view it as an entitlement. We feel hurt, even angry, if we don't receive it any longer.
It's the same way with the blessings from God. After receiving these blessings for years, I sometimes fail to be grateful. I've come to expect these good things. And when one of them is removed for a short while (like the water being cut off), I get upset.
Let us make an effort today to recognize the blessings we've come to take for granted. Focus on what we have rather than on what we don't have, and see if it doesn't improve our attitudes.
"Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the of men!" (Psalm 107:

THE LORD’S PROMISE
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (Amplified Bible)
2And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.
3For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.

3 large strawberries
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 medium lemon, squeezed for juice

Add the syrup and vanilla bean. Bring to a slow boil over low heat, and poach peaches at about 185°F, but do not allow to boil. If peaches are very ripe, they will be poached after 5 minutes.
Place peaches and syrup in a cool place, but do not refrigerate. Drain peaches, reserving the poaching liquid. Wash strawberries, remove any leaves, and purée in a blender or food processor. Place in a bowl and stir sugar into the purée. Stir romance whipped cream into the strawberry purée and add lemon juice.

Garnish the top with a dollop of whipped cream and mint leaf.
