Coyote was walking along a lake and saw a flock of ducks, which put him in the mood for a good duck dinner. So he stuffed a bag full of grass and walked past the ducks, stepping lively and singing a catchy tune. “Where are you going?” asked one of the ducks.
“I am going to a circle,” replied Coyote. “What’s in the bag?” asked the duck.
“Songs that I am bringing to the circle,” replied Coyote.
“Oh, please sing your songs for us,” the ducks all said. “I’m very busy.” “Please please, please, please…” “I’m running late,” “Please, please, please please…” “Oh, alright.
I’ll sing a song for you, but I need your help. All of you stand in three lines. The fattest ones in the front, those in the middle who are neither fat nor thin, and the thin ones in back.
All of you close your eyes and dance and sing as loud as you can. Don’t anyone open your eyes or stop singing, because my songs are very powerful and if you do that you may go blind! Is everyone ready?” “We are!” replied the ducks, and they fell into lines and began dancing and singing along with Coyote’s tune.
Coyote moved up and down the line, thumping the ducks on the head and stuffing them into his bag. The ducks were singing and dancing so hard that no one could hear the thumps or know what was happening.
This would have gone on till none were left, if not for one scraggly duck in the back who opened his eyes and saw what was going on. “Hey, he’s going to get us all!” cried the scraggly one.
At this, the other surviving ducks opened their eyes and made their getaway. Coyote wasn’t too upset; he already had a lot of ducks in his bag. He went home and ate good for a good while.
The ducks went home and mourned their dead, and gave thanks to The Great Duck that one of them had been wise enough to open his eyes, and that the rest of them had been wise enough to listen to the one who gave warning.
The greatest virtue is peace. Throughout the day, stop for a minute and ask yourself 'How peaceful am I at this moment?' If someone tries to make you peaceless, you mustn't allow yourself to be peaceless, no. Instead, look for the virtues in everyone and pass these on to others. Remain very sweet and peaceful.

March is unpredictable like life, you never know when the sun will be smiling from the clouds. ~Unknown~
God willing, you will be gifted another decade or more of life experience.
But even if you aren’t, the core principle of this article remains relevant:
As you age, you will learn to value your time, genuine relationships, meaningful work, and peace of mind, much more. Little else will matter.
Deep down you know this already though, right?
Yet today, just like the majority of us, you are distracted by almost everything else.
The simplest things in life are also the most precious. Happy Pie Day! Blessings x
Each day comes bearing its own gifts
A group of students were asked by their teacher to list what they thought were the current 'Seven Wonders of the World.' There was some discussion amongst the students before they each submitted their lists and the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. China's Great Wall
However, after counting all the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not handed in her list. So she asked the student if she was having trouble finalising it. The student replied, 'Yes, a little, I can't quite make up my mind because there were so many to choose from.'
The teacher said, 'Well, tell us what you have as your first seven and maybe we can help you to decide on your final list of 7.' The girl hesitated, then said . . . 'I think the Seven Wonders of the World are '
1. To see 2. To hear 3. To touch 4. To taste 5. To feel 6. To laugh 7. and finally - To love
After she had finished the room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we often overlook as simple and ordinary and that we may take for granted are truly wondrous! It also gives a gentle reminder to us all, that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought.
HELLO, THE FAVOR OF GOD IS UPON OUR LIVES, GOD IS TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR US. LORD, WE ARE PRASING YOU IN ADVANCE! "THANK YOU JESUS!" BLESSINGS, LOVE, LIGHT & PRAYERS. Patty Ann
