A Journey Called Life ... Thx Marge R!
A JOURNEY CALLED LIFE
A mouse looked through the crack in the wallto see the farmer and his wife open a package."What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered.
He was devastated to discover it was a mouse trap.Retreating to the farm yard,the mouse proclaimed this warning :"There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched,raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse,I can tell this is a grave concern to you,but it is of no consequence to me.I cannot be bothered by it."The mouse turned to the pig and told him,"There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said,"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,but there is nothing I can do about itbut pray...Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said,"There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in the house!"The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you,but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house,head down and dejected,to face the farmer's mousetrap. . . Alone.. .. .
That very nighta sound was heard throughout the house-- the sound Of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.In the darkness, she did not see it.It was a venomous snakewhose tail was caught in the trap.
The snake bit the farmer's wife.The farmer rushed her to the hospital.When she returned home she still had a fever.Everyone knows you treat a feverwith fresh chicken soup.So the farmer took his hatchet to the farm yardfor the soup's main ingredient:But his wife's sickness continued.Friends and neighborscame to sit with heraround the clock.To feed them,the farmer butchered the pig.But, alas,the farmer's wife did not get well...She died..So many people came for her funeralthat the farmer had the cow slaughteredto provide enough meat for all of themfor the funeral luncheon.
And the mouse looked upon it allfrom his crack in the wallwith great sadness.
So, the next time you hearsomeone is facing a problemand you think it doesn't concern you,remember ---When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.We are all involved in this journey called life.We must keep an eye out for one anotherand make an extra effortto encourage one another.YOU MAY WANT TO SEND THISTO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVERHELPED YOU OUT...AND LET THEM KNOWHOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.- REMEMBER -EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREADIN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY.
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHERFOR A REASON.One of the best things to hold onto inthis world is a FRIEND.

When you weren't looking ... thanks Steve H. and Sharon D.!
Subject: Fw: When you weren't
looking
WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
A message every adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a
stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my
favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a
prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you
cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be..
When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of
life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and
wanted to say,' Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW
WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS,
BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT ...
Each of us (parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, teacher, nurse, friend, co-worker)
influences the life of a child and so many others.
How will you touch the life of someone today? Just by
sending this to your mothers to thank her, friends and families you will probably make
them at least think about their influence on others.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly, and Leave the rest to God.
