February Snow


February Snow

Today is a great day,

a great day you know,

as I look out,

and see light falling snow.

It is a great day,

to get out and walk,

and enjoy the fresh air,

and the soft February snow.

I always have enjoyed,

enjoyed walking in the soft,

slowly falling February snow,

while remembering,

those days long ago,

spent playing in February snow.

HURRY UP SPRING!


I look out my window , and what do I see, snow covered trees, snow everywhere, looking back at me. Yes my heart is yearning for the time of spring,to see the flowers blooming and hearing the birds sing. The first sign of spring here is the return of the robin and it's hopping on any bare spots around. The Robin can appear here anytime after the last of March. Yes I am ready to scream, bring on spring!

Favorite Quotes about Valentines Day

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day.  When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.  ~Author Unknown

Love is a symbol of eternity.  It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.  ~Author Unknown

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.  ~Albert Einstein

Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.  ~Author Unknown

Must, bid the Morn awake!
Sad Winter now declines,
Each bird doth choose a mate;
This day's Saint Valentine's.
For that good bishop's sake
Get up and let us see
What beauty it shall be
That Fortune us assigns.
~Michael Drayton


I love thee - I love thee,
'Tis all that I can say
It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day.
~Thomas Hood

THE TONGUE


The Tongue

” The boneless tongue, so small and weak,
Can crush and kill, ” declares the Greek.
” The tongue destroys a greater horde,”
The Turk asserts, ” than does the sword.”
A Persian proverb wisely said,
” A lengthy tongue– an early death.”
Or sometimes this form instead:
” Don’t let your tongue cut off your head.”
” The tongue can speak a word whose speed,”
The Chinese say, ” outstripes the steed.”
While Arab sages this impart:
” The tongue’s great storehouse is the heart.”
From Hebrew hath this maxim sprung,
” Though feet should slip, ne’er let the tongue.”
The sacred writer crowns the whole,
” Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul!”
— Philip B. Strong

JESUS SAID


JESUS SAID

The I Am’s of Jesus  as Jesus said continued: John10:7-9.
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jesus said, “I Am the door”.  John 10:11,14.11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  Jesus said,” I Am the good shepherd”.  John 10:25.25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  Jesus said,” I Am the resurrection and life”.   John 14:6.6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  Jesus said,” I Am the way, the truth, and the life” .  John 15:1,5   1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.                       5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.  Jesus said ,” I Am the true vine”.   So let us as His followers, be good little branches and cling to the true vine!
