M - O - T - H - E - R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful:
the Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
and made their tiny wings.
The Purple-headed mountains
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.
God gave us eyes to see them
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.
Thank You, Lord, for this fine day,
Alleluia, praise the Lord.
Right where we are.
Thank You, Lord, for loving us,
Thank You, Lord, for all our Pets,
Thank You, Lord, for animals,
Right here where we are.

I've only one life; it soon will be gone.
What will remain of the things that I've done?
Will I be remembered as someone who cared?
Someone who sympathized? Someone who shared?
Will the things that I did while on earth be worthwhile?
Have I lightened a load?
Gone the second mile?
Did I put off my ambitions?
Put them on hold?
To help someone else in reaching their goal?
If I can say YES to these things, and more,
Then I'll not be ashamed when I reach Heaven's shore.
I will hold my head high, when I'm called by my Lord
To stand before God to receive my reward.

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.'

When the day is dreary
And I'm feeling down
I call you up
And get rid of my frown
Your voice is cheery
And filled with love
I realize you're a gift
Sent from heaven above
In a matter of minutes
My mood is up-beat
Your positive attitude
Is such a treat
You never complain
And you always care
I thank God every day
That you're always there
I want you to know
I'm here for you, too
Because when you're friends
That's what friends do
When you're feeling low
I'll make you smile
For you, my dear friend
I'd go the extra mile
Your smile's like the sun
Always shining so bright
When I hear your laughter
I know all will be right
You've helped me so much
You're always such a dear
We've shared happy times
As well as times of fear
God knew we'd need help
Along life's way
He brought us together
And that's how we'll stay
I thank you from my heart
For being my friend
I love you and hope
Our friendship will never end

Message:
TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind... I will not respond in a like manner.

If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask GOD to bless that individual.
I understand the "enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.

I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED:
I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.
TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE WHO IS DISCOURAGED:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY:
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods.
I will thank GOD for my body.
TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to GOD's voice!!!
"But since we belong to the day, let us be self controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and hope of salvation as a helmet."
1 Thessalonians 5:8

A loving angel came to me in dreams,
And showed me life's not always what it seems,
And brought me to a place where sweet dreams live,
And gave to me a gift that I now give:
She whispered, "Take my hand, I'll lead you through
A place where all the sweet dreams can come true!
Close your eyes and open up your heart,
For then this flight of dreams so sweet can start.
She brought me through the darkness to the light,
Where colours wrapped around me with delight,
A patchwork quilt of beauty without seams,
Each colour was a rainbow full of dreams.
She led me through a hall of lovely sound,
With doors flung open widely all around.
And from each room a song would gently play,
And I wished with all my heart that I could stay.
We drifted in the fragrance of the breeze,
To savour all the flowers and the trees.
We tasted all of life that we could see,
And felt it flow as one in harmony.
Then my angel turned to me and said
"You're the keeper of these dreams inside your head.
Dream sweetly now, and dream of love and light,
And dreams will lead you safely through the night.
I am the keeper of this dream, it's true,
And I offer all my dreams to each of you.
May their loving sweetness visit you each night
And fill your soul with love and warmth and light!

I woke up this morning to Mamma singing to me, of course being a dog, I could not understand what she was saying, but she was smiling and kissing on me! I was like okay this is a good thing.
She gave me a Prezzie and then she put this sticky thing on top of my head! She kept squeeking my doggie prezzie at me, and trying to get me to look at her, like I didn't know she had
"THE CAMERA"! Well, I made her work for the picture..hee...hee..
She finally smiled and peeled this sticky thing off my head....
Still don't know what that was about....just that the camera was gone ....Then she fixed me my favorite food! HOT DAWGS! These are not your normal every day dawgs! These are Beef -n- Cheddar Dawgs! YUMMY! I shared with my Brofur and Sisfur!
I was so content...I them went on my big pillow bed and boy
did I take a nap....I was snoozing.....Then came Mamma again
Singing that song again....Smiling, kissing on me, hugging
on me, so I thought okay you wanna wrestle, its on, Mamma!
I slurped her on her face ALL OVER, I guess she was
laughing they call it.....She would hide her face, but she
forgot I am a doxie I can burrow down real good...hee...hee.
I got her slurped again REAL GOOD THIS TIME! She gave me a
hug and a kiss, that is what they feel like anyway.....
So, I thought I would lay on the BIG Pillow again and
have me a snooze till dinner time...So far this Birthday stuff
is pretty cool.....ALL my friends have been so nice and sent
me cool prezzies and p-mailed me. I love my Dogster Friends!
They are the BEST! Thanks everyfur and Family for your
prezzies and Birthday Wishes! This is the Best Woofday Ever!
Love and Hugs,
Harley Davidson

O God:
Give me the strength to live another day:
Let me not turn coward before its difficulties
or prove recreant to its duties;
Let me not lose Faith in other people;
Keep me sweet and sound of heart, in spite of
ingratitude; treachery, or meanness:
Preserve me from minding little stings or
giving them;
Help me to keep my heart clean, and to live so
honestly and fearlessly that no outward
failure can dishearten me or take away the;
joy of conscious integrity;
Open wide the eyes of my soul that I may see;
good in all things;
Grant me this day some new vision of thy truth;
Inspire me with the spirit of joy and gladness;
and make me the cup of strength to suffering
souls; in the name of the strong Deliverer, our
only Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ
