Hello Christmas Family !! I Hope All Are Having A Wonderful Start To The Week. I Am Going To Start A New Thread and Call it "POTPOURRI". It is for posting things that you want to share and perhaps do not know where to put them. This thread is for anything like stories, jokes or articles, or whatever (as long as they are allowed by Jeff) so if you have something to post that you could not figure out where to put it - Here you go !!

I will go first - I found this and just loved it for my fellow Christmas Companions !!!


HEALTH CHECK-UP BY GOD

I went to the Lord's Clinic to have my routine check-up and I confirmed I
was ill.

When Jesus took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness.

When He read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40 degrees of
anxiety.

He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several "love bypasses"
since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an
empty heart.

I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother's side and I
could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with
envy.

He also found I was short-sighted, since I could not see beyond the
shortcomings of my brothers and sisters.

When I complained about deafness, the diagnostic was that I had stopped
listening to Jesus' voice talking to me on a daily basis.

For all of that, Jesus gave me a free consultation thanks to His
mercifulness, so my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the
natural remedies He prescribed through his words of truth:

* Every morning take a full glass of gratitude.
* When getting to work, take one spoon of peace.
* Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one
glass of humility
* When getting home, take one dose of love
* When getting to bed, take two caplets of clear conscience

Do not give in to sadness or desperation for what you are going through
today.

God knows how you feel...

God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you
in your life at this precise moment.

God's purpose for you is simply perfect.

He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you
are living, and by being in the place you are now.

May God give you...
* For every storm, a rainbow
* For every tear, a smile,
* For every care, a promise,
* And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share,
For ever sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

I know the painting is symbolic and all that, but it made a question pop into my head... one of those things you never think about but is an interesting poser nonetheless...

Do they even have squirrels in the Middle East..?

Hey George !! Thanks for noticing this thread........That is a good question. I prefer to think of this pic that as Jesus is the Son of God and transcends all cultures (as He truly does to me) and is
ever-present everywhere, He chooses where He goes so this is not necessarily the Middle East !! Just my thoughts though, muddled as they may be !! cheesy

These are the lyrics for "Jesus, Light Of The World" By Third Day. I just think they are really pretty and I wanted to share them or click the link in my signature to hear the song !!


JESUS LIGHT OF THE WORLD

The most beautiful night of the year
All the stars light up the sky
And the city is sparkling with silver and gold
From a million points of light
A reflection of something that’s deeper within
Just a flicker of something more

Jesus, Light of the World
Shine through the darkness
Bright as the day
Jesus, Light of the World
Shine in our hearts
Show us the way tonight

Who is this child in a manger?
Kings bow down and angels sing
The Lord of the Universe
Has come here to save us
A precious Offering
All the heavens above and the earth below
Are filled with the light of Your love

Jesus, Light of the World
Shine through the darkness
Bright as the day
Jesus, Light of the World
Shine in our hearts
Show us the way tonight

For all the animal lovers here on MMC, I found this very emotional and wanted to share .........

747 (Click on picture to see bigger)

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY.

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
