 As I arose from bed this morn, and looked up at the sky, my heart gave song, and I rejoiced as mallard ducks flew by. The mountaintops were shrouded with early mountain dew and I was glad to be alive and start the day anew. The songbirds all were waking up. Their sounds soon filled the air. The chipmunks and the squirrels were scampering everywhere. The flowerbeds were in full bloom. The bees flew to and fro. The hummingbird danced up and down. He knew not where to go. I looked around this place of mine and thanked the Lord above, for blessing me with special friends and a family that I love. Success to me is not measured by materials and wealth. For you are rich, if you have friends, a family and good health. Some people are not content until they have more than they will need. But I have found true happiness without the stress and greed. Just look about. Check for yourself. You'll see that I am right. You too are rich. You have so much. Thank God for it tonight! Charlie  Back |
