CHECKING IN FOR THE DAY

Welcome, SusiefromBoston, hope you get your sea legs!

Four important questions to ask someone:

"Are you still singing?

Are you still dancing?

Are you still playing?

Are you still telling your stories?"

Also, mosey on over to the Happy Mother's Day tbd thread, as there are inspiring readings, AND some funny ones about moms, from brilliant second grade kids!

This great, fun thread, was started and encouraged, by our dear fellow tbder, Arkadash.

Today, he has kindly posted on our tbd threads, Checking In For the Day, and, Community Prayer for Prunella Farquar, that he's a cancer survivor, and is running in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in his area!

So,to Arky, we're sending you wonderful wishes in the race; and gratitude for inspiring us, and reminding us of such a worthy cause!

A quote for today:

" Nothing is impossible to a willing heart."

~Thomas Heywood~

Saluting Arky and his quest today, and the Amish who I dwell amidst, sb, I post and toast these friends today with this:

“I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious”

Editor, thank you for that fine,kind quote.

Also, to those inclined, Arky has kindly started a new tbd food-for-spiritual-thought thread, titled,

"The Olde Philosopher-Examples of God's Grace."

Folks are posting uplifting parables, and stories of faith and hope there.

The Olde Philosopher sez:

Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.

The Olde Philosopher sez:

God gives us our relatives - thank God we can choose our friends.

Hummmm ..yah know ..one day I asked God .."how come you had to give me a Mother-in-Law that is such a witch" ..He said .."your still a sinner"..!!!
