Bless My Friends!

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer, too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach

To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits "send".
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer

The Amazing Truth

I just finished reading my inspirational quote for the day, and thought I would share. It is so true. Read it and share with me your thoughts!

Most of us spend our lives as if we have another one in the bank.

Oh Geez I must be getting old...

After our snowfall yesterday I couldn't help but sit at the kitchen table and look out at the newly fallen snow. It was so beautiful. I realized I need to fill my bird feeder because it was nearly empty. So I went out in the cold and filled it up. (Mind you I was in capris and a tshirt sporting my raggedy slippers) I came back in and sat down with my hot cup of tea and just relaxed. Instantly I had dozens of bird coming to munch on my feast that I had just prepared for them. I watched as they ate and frolicked in the snow.

As I continued to ponder I had to laugh at myself. Here I am like an old lady with a hot beverage watching the birds. Maybe it was just one of those moments that you had to be there. It's funny how time can change a person! Here's a few pictures that had me all giddy. :)

Here they are playing on the deck. How amusing!

Okay I was not the only one who was amused. Harley liked it too! :)

Survey finds 1 in 3 toys have toxic chemicals? WHAT?

Survey finds 1 in 3 toys have toxic chemicals

A new survey finds that about a third of popular toys on sale this holiday season have significant levels of toxic chemicals.

Researchers for the JustGreen Partnership -- a coalition of children's safety, public health and environmental groups -- tested more than 1,500 toys and found one in three contained medium or high levels of chemicals such as lead, cadmium and arsenic.

Lead was detected in 20 percent of the toys, and the group says levels in some far exceed the 600 parts-per-million standard set by the federal government for a recall.
Children's jewelry was the most contaminated product category, with items marketed by Disney and Christmas Tree Shops topping the group's "worst toys" list of products. Products listed under the "best toys" category included Hasbro's Star Wars Comic Packs and Spiderman 3 Venom toys, LEGO's Batman series and Fisher-Price's Go Diego Go items.
A full list of the toys is available online at http://www.healthytoys.org/.

You have got to be kidding me!
