Hi MK, sending Tuesday greetings, the most sleepy day of the week. Zzzzzz "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde Until next time Peace, Love and Rock n' Roll
A long time ago God had a great many burdens that He wished to have carried from one place to another on Earth. He asked the animals to lend a hand, but all of them had excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too proud; and so on...
Finally the birds came to God and said, "If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for you. We are small, but we would like to help."
So God fastened upon the back of each bird a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, not minding the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seemed to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were beautiful wings in their place. Wings that enabled them to fly to the tree tops and soar through the sky, closer and closer to God.
The burdens we carry for others, as well as ourselves, become wings of the spirit, lifting us to new places and bringing us closer and closer to God.
Get set to embark into a brand new week. Are you ready? “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”-H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Until next time Peace, Love and Rock n' Roll
just a note to say hello.. Hope all is well your way and you are enjoying your weekend. It has been pretty smokey here the last few days. There is a fire burning about 70 miles away in Canyonville OR and the wind is blowing all the smoke south to us. Hopefully it won't last too long. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a great week. ~~~ debijo
