Saying goodnight to a rather silly Saturday. It's been a "Hoot" around this house today. Hope yours involved some funny moments, too. Sleep tight. ~ Marcia

ANGELIC ENCOUNTER DURING CAR ACCIDENT
Pastor John Boston was driving down the road when another car crossed the center line and came barreling toward him. The pastor swerved to miss the vehicle and struck a utility pole, sending a live transformer crashing onto his car. Immediately the metal and glass began to buckle on the intense heat from thousands of volts of electricity. His 4-year-old daughter, who was with him, was trapped inside the burning car. The seat belt was stuck and the door wouldn’t open. That’s when a scruffy looking stranger came out of nowhere and easily opened the smashed door. The man removed him from the car and walked him 20 feet away from the vehicle to safety before the car exploded in flames.
“He said my name is Johnny, the police are almost here and I can’t be here when they get here but you’re gonna be okay,” said Pastor Boston. “And then the man was gone.”
He said that people who tried to rationalize the situation thought the circuit breaker simply tripped and Johnny fled because of a sketchy past. However, firefighters say there are some aspects of what happened that defy logic, reason and science. Pastor Boston is convinced he encountered an angel that day..I believe in Angels !
Humility comes from the understanding that the force behind whatever help you give to others comes not from you but from the power of love.
It is not true that if you are humble others will walk all over you. It is when there is no humility that you can easily be influenced by others and things seem difficult.
But when there is humility, there is also the power of truth. You know internally that you will achieve your aim, regardless of what others say or think.
A humble person never feels they are bowing to others. The head is held neither too high nor low - it just faces straight ahead, like an angel. Humility reveals your truth.
“Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone out there that need what you have to give.”
Friday evening here. Peaceful, as we sit about watching television and playing with our laptops. Television programs are rarely entertaining these days...only a few scattered about throughout the week that we might schedule time to watch. That's kinda sad, I think, but...sure makes spending time at Boomers a blessing. In case you may be wondering, and I seriously doubt you even gave it a thought, my favorite night for tv viewing is on Wednesday night. LOL I saw a notice today that another page design contest will be ramping up soon. Our choice of design. I just re-designed both pages for St. Patrick's Day...not sure if I will switch over, but I could change my mind. I'll have to play around with ideas. I'm saying goodnight for now. Enjoy the week-end. ~ Marcia

We thought that love was over That we were really through I said I didn't love him That we'd begin anew And you can all believe me We sure intended to But we just couldn't say good-bye The chair and then the sofa Broke right down and cry The curtains started waving for him to come inside I tell you confidentially The tears were hard to hide And we just couldn't say good-bye The clock was striking 12 o' clock It smiled on us below With folded hands it seemed to say We'll miss you if you go So he came back and kissed me And when I looked around The room was singing love songs And dancing up and down Now we are both so happy Because at last we found That we just couldn't say good-bye People in love are funny Mighty hard to explain One minute they quarrel Then theyr'e back together again Take my case for instance We had a little fuss Listen ladies and gentleman Here's what happened to us And you can all believe me That we sure intended to The chair and then the sofa Broke right down and cried I tell you confidentially The tears were hard to hide The clock was striking 12 o' clock It smiled on us down below With folded hands it seemed to say We're going to miss you if you go So he came back and kissed me And when I looked around The room was singing love songs And dancing up and down Now we're both so happy Because at last we found That we just couldn't say good-bye!
