Good Morning Everyone, I'm not going to put a preamble to todays story because it speaks for itself.........loud and clear!!! Todays Story: The Little Red Wagon My friend Gayle has been "living" with cancer for four years and it is progressively getting worse. During a conversation with another friend, Gayle expressed that one of her childhood wishes was to have a red Radio Flyer wagon. As a child she never received one because she believed that if you told your birthday wish it wouldn't come true. I was at an ice cream stand one day and in the window was a miniature red Radio Flyer wagon that could be won in a weekly drawing. Every time you made a purchase you could fill out a ticket for a chance to win. After several weeks and many ice cream cones, I didn't win. I got up the courage to ask the person in charge if I could buy one. I went to the window and as I began to tell my story, I could feel my throat tighten and my eyes overflowed with tears. Somehow I managed to explain my reason for wanting to purchase the wagon, and after writing a check, I left carrying it. The wagon was delivered the next day, and for Gayle it was a dream come true. The following day I received a letter that read: Dear Bonnie, Every once in a while there is an opportunity to pass on a kindness - no questions asked. I lost my parents to cancer six months apart from each other. I cared for both of them but could not have done it without the love and generosity of friends - friends who care. The best to you, Norma It was from the owner of the ice cream stand. Enclosed was my uncashed check. By Bonita L. Anticola Have a great day all !! wb

ELane: That was a great story. "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching." If I could do those three things - Perfection would shine through -smile - but truly, when you think on those three items you realize that in action they are: Complete abundance Complete peace Complete participation with the Life that is within. The presence of God in the Here and Now All of Him and none of me - I say "Yes - Let it be that way" - Now, how do I get out of the way - smile, By 'letting' the Master Carpenter work through me - "and the government shall be upon his shoulders" -- ~~~slap, slap ~~~ get out of the way self ~~ self isn't sure it wants to move yet - soooo-- love self also - agree with your adversary - and continue to desire to 'let' these things come to pass. Doesn't it all come down to the first two commandments - Hey, I feel like dancing - anyone watching!!!! Smiling h.
