IF

Hi everyone ~~ I hope that the week is going

well for you. All OK here, but I am tired

tonight so will leave a short post. Just a

couple of short poems and a joke.

<><><><> IF ~ Author unknown . <><><>

If you want to be healed

Of your troubles and trials,

Do somethimg for others

And do it with smiles.

<><><><>

Toiling is not toiling

When the service that we give

Is to keep the living loving

And to help the loving live.

<><><><><><><><><>

People, even more than things

have to be restored, renewed,

revived, reclaimed and redeemed,

Never throw out anybody.

<><><><><>

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand;

You’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that

you have two hands. Anon.

<><><><><><>

A woman was looking in the mirror and said

to her husband: “Gee, I’m fat and ugly. Tell

me something positive.”

><><><><>

The husband replies: “Your eyesight is perfect.”

<><><><><><><> Bye ~ <><><><><>
