Half Full, Or Half Empty?
When you see a glass that is halfway,
Do you see it half full or half empty?
I will tell you what I see,
I see a glass that is half full.
Then, I thank God for quenching my thirst
And I continue to count my blessings.
For you see,
I have faith, a family and a roof over my head.
That is more than many others might have,
For some are hungry, homeless and lost.
You might have loved ones that are very ill,
But count your blessings for the good times.
You might have loved ones that have died,
But be grateful for the memories.
Thank God for what you have and be grateful!
Count your blessings, be grateful, do right.
With God all things are possible.
Thank you God for everything.
Dogs Are Not Pets, They Are Family Members
Four Yorkshire Terriers
Tiny, Holly, Charlie, Joy
You gave us many years of happiness
Filled with love, affection and unconditional love
How we took care of you
At night the bed was never crowded
With the four bundles of joy
Snuggling close to their masters
Many years of togetherness
Until each one of you grew quite old
At the end, each one of you crossed the rainbow bridge
Straight to paradise where you saw the white dove
Someday when the time is right
We shall meet again
What joy, peace and tranquility
Never again any disasters
From then on just peace and blessings
Just enjoying the calm
God's good will shall give us wings
To protect the ones we love.
