THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE:
Pauline from
paulinesfashions found this in an e-mail.
Living on
Earth is expensive,
but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year.

How long a
minute is
depends on what side of the
bathroom door you're on.

Birthdays are
good for you; the more you have,
the longer you live.
the longer you live.
Happiness
comes through doors you didn't even know you
left open.
Ever notice
that the people who are late are often much
jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?

Most of us go
to our grave
with our music still
inside of us.
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices
every day, how come nothing is
free yet?
You may be
only one person in the world, but you may also be
the world to one person.
Some mistakes
are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry
because it's over; smile because it
happened.
We could learn
a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....but
they all exist very nicely in the same box.

Have an
awesome day, and know that someone
who thinks you're great
has thought about you today!..

Working for God on
earth does not pay much,
But His Retirement plan
is
Out
of this world!!

The Geese
Found in an e-mail from Pauline from paulinesfashions.
There was once a man who didn't believe in the incarnation of Christ or the spiritual meaning of Christmas, and was skeptical about God.
He and his family lived in a farm community. His wife was a devout believer and diligently raised her children in her faith. He sometimes gave her a hard time about her faith and mocked her observance of Christmas. "It's all nonsense - why would God lower himself and become a human like us?! It's such a ridiculous story!" he said.
One snowy day, she and the children left for church while he stayed home. After they had left, the winds grew stronger and the snow turned into a blinding snowstorm. He sat down to relax before the fire for the evening.
Then he heard a loud thump, something hitting against the window. And another thump. He looked outside but couldn't see. So he ventured outside to see. In the field near his house he saw, of all the strangest things, a flock of geese! They were apparently flying to look for a warmer area down south, but had been caught in the snow storm.
The storm had become too blinding and violent for the geese to fly or see their way. They were stranded on his farm, with no food or shelter, unable to do more than flutter their wings and fly in aimless circles.
He had compassion for them and wanted to help them. He thought to himself, "The barn would be a great place for them to stay! It's warm and safe; surely they could spend the night and wait out the storm."
So he opened the barn doors for them. He waited, watching them, hoping they would notice the open barn and go inside. But they didn't notice the barn or realize what it could mean for them. He moved closer toward them to get their attention, but they just moved away from him out of fear. He went into the house and came back out with some bread, broke it up, and made a bread trail to the barn. They still didn't catch on.
Starting to get frustrated, he went over and tried to shoo them toward the barn. They panicked and scattered into every direction except toward the barn. Nothing he did could get them to go into the barn where there was warmth, safety and shelter.
Feeling totally frustrated, he exclaimed, "Why don't they follow me? Can't they see this is the only place where they can survive the storm? How can I possibly get them into the one place to save them?" He thought for a moment and realized that they just wouldn't follow a human. He said to himself, "How can I possibly save them? The only way would be for me to become like those geese. If only I could become like one of them! Then I could save them! They would follow me and I would lead them to safety."
At that moment, he stopped and considered what he had said. The words reverberated in his mind: "If only I could become like one of them - then I could save them." And then, at last, he understood God's heart towards mankind, and he fell on his knees in the snow and worshipped Him.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We beheld His Glory, the Glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth!" (John 1:14)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

A baby horse on its mom's lap
Some pictures just don't need captions. There is nothing like Mom's lap no matter who you are. This is precious !!!! This is a newborn offspring of Taskin, a Gypsy Stallion
owned by Villa Vanners of Oregon .
These pictures were taken immediately after his birth on April 6.
The mare laid down, and then he trotted around and crawled right
up into her lap.

Owl In Flight
Another cool video find from Pauline from paulinesfashions.
Owl coming in for the kill -- right at the camera. Only a minute long. The last two or three seconds are amazing, watching the feathers ruffle and the wings swell. Loved it. Interesting to watch the corrections in the flight path as the bird comes in. This is taken at 1000 frames per second and is awesome!
