Blessings.....

If we all would do just one small thing for others look how it would grow.
A few years back,around the holidays, my younger boy came home and told me about a family that had like 7 kids and that they didn't have a lot of money and that he would share his lunch with the one boy. Well, we talked about the family and how could we help them. Then we knew what we had to do. My whole family of 11 decided that we would not have Christmas but instead spend our money on this family.
If you EVER want to be blessed beyond belief....try this some time.
I went to this home, gently talked to the mother, ask her what they wanted and needed. She was to ask each family member what we could get for them. She just sat there a thought...but didn't know what to say.
At first the kids didn't know what to ask for....one kid looked up at me, puzzled and said, "gee, I don't know what to ask for because , I've never had anything before. " ( this still brings tears to my eyes as WE have so much)
Finally after days of trying to get answers from them their mother gave me their list.
One young boy asked for a small tool box of tools as he helped fix things around the house.
Another asked for some cooking things, frying pan, turners ,spatula....as he liked to make a fire out side and cook for his siblings.
Another wanted..no needed a sleeping bag...so he could stay warm at night.
The list goes on...not what they wanted but what they needed.
I even made each child up stockings filled with goodies......do you know...they looked at me and asked, "What are these"? They had never even had a stocking....* tears*
The day came that we delievered all the presents...oh, you should have seen their faces....* crying even harder as I type* The stockings had some goodies like candy and fruit....one young boy carefully took out some candy and offered us some back. Oh precious Jesus! As they were unloading their gifts they were laughing , oohing and awwing...and squeeling with excitment and
delight. Their faces ....their faces.....their precious faces....* sniff, blows nose* if you could have seen their beautiful faces. And the hugs.....glory to God!
So let me tell you all this....if you EVER get a chance to give up YOUR Christmas and help some needy family, please do it. You will never regret it.
Soon after That I came down with the flu and was SO sick I thought I'd die........but I would remember all those faces and all their hugs...I would smile and start to feel better. To me..that was MY gift from them. Glory to God!
So this holiday season, keep your eyes and ears open to someone in need.....this brings up another blessing .....
One holiday season also a few years back, I was shopping at a little discount store. I was by the Christmas decorations when my ear heard a conversation that went something like this.....
look, these aren't that expensive..yes but if we buy them we won't have the money to get the tree ( the tree by the way was only a small 4 foot tree) I looked up at them, careful they didn't see me looking....a very young couple stood looking at things they really needed but could't buy ....
Well, it just so happened that I had gotten what I thought was a nice tree at the local goodwill and it was only $ 5.00. Well when I got home with this big box of tree stuff I found out it had two trees in it. ( see I buy Christmas trees and give them out to needy families also) Anyway, the trees didn't come with a center pole. So, I take a 4 by 4 , drill holes in it and start putting this tree together. To my surprize these two trees made one very full beautiful tree 6 foot tree. My thoughts were, oh, who can I give this to? Lord help me find a family who needs a tree it's almost Christmas...I KNOW there is a family out there some where who needs it.
So this takes me back to the store with the young couple.....
I apologize to this couple for listening to their conversation BUT I had a nice tree they could have.....they look at each other, then look at me... I tell them...go ahead and buy the decorations I will supply the tree. They came that night and got it. Glory to God!
So always be looking for someone you can help. The blessings will just keep flowing your way.
Have a wonderful and blessed holidays.

Life ripples

I am the center of my universe
But I do not live here alone.
Each move I make creates a ripple in someone else's ocean
Each breath I take effects the air all around me
Each word I utter falls on someone else's ears
That which I touch is felt by another
That which I do will certainly affect another
That which I do not, will also affect another
We never know how far reaching something
we say or do really is until it returns to us
And it always does...
ALL THINGS IN LIFE FORM A CIRCLE
Whether we see the circle or not.

Thank you all....

What a bad week I had. But I wanted to take this time to thank ALL my Dogster friends that wished me well and sent Rossettes. It really made me feel better. I also want to thank my sis Faith for telling you all about me.
Did you get to see our pictures on her page? She actually made me get up and play. She hardly ever plays with me now. She says I'm too big plus I slobber on her. * giggles* Sorry 'bout that Faith.
I'm still not up to myself fully yet but that will come....some day.
My mommy can't sit at the computer much anymore because her feet and lower legs are swelling way too much. So now she has to keep her legs up. Sometimes she can't feel her feet.....not good for someone who is a diabetic.
Hey mommy, put your feet up now. Tell the nice people good bye.
* Dayzee blows kisses*

I'm sad.....

I'm sad, .......* tears*

Thank you all for your prayers.

My legs

Sept 11. 2007

I just wanted to update you all on my legs. Seems I am getting better by the day. No more limping and I am even able to run again. Boy does it feel good to.
Now my vet says I should be better in 6 months instead of a year.
Thank you all for your many prayers. And most of all I thank my God. Because without him....I am nothing.
God bless you all.

Growing Pains

Augest 15, 2007

I've been having some trouble lately with limping. My Lady has been keeping an eye on me and I was getting really bad. I looked like a very old pup that had trouble walking. I went to the vets yesterday and to our surprize I have a pretty serious problem. Seems I am growing too fast and it is affecting my long bones in my legs. The vet explained it like there are holes in my bones from not being able to keep up with my growing.The vet also said I wasn't over weight at all. That most large breed dogs have this problem. It's very painful. Good news is that it is treatable but it will take along time. I am 6 months old and I weigh 52.1 pounds. I have to take meds until I am 18 months old. Then I should be good as new. My Lady was so sad because I had all but stopped running and playing for very long. And because Faith isn't doing so well and now me she just wasn't sure if she was going to lose both of us.
Compared to most poor pups I am fine. I thank my Heavenly Father for watching over us.
Have a blessed day.
I know I am.

Well, scratch one almost boyfriend......I must have scared him away. Oh well, I have lots of time yet. And just when I was starting to come back down to earth from the excitment. Pheew!! So many emotions . I know....when the next pup comes a long I'll play it cooler. I'll be older and maybe know how to handle it better.
Well, thanks for listening. La la lalala la....
