INSPIRATIONAL
STORIES FOR THE WEEK
What
Is Going To Happen When We Run Out Of Little Red Hens?
This
is my favourite time of the year, and I know that most of you likely
feel the same way. However, at the risk of putting a damper on your
“Christmas Spirit”, it is also the time of year when I get the most
discouraged about the future of this great community.
We
Can Learn A Lot About Living From The Simple Caterpillar
The
other day I came across a short article that clearly explained why it is
so difficult to get people to change their habits and beliefs. The
article showed me that a simple creature like the "processionary
caterpillar" can teach us all a lot about life if we are only
willing to listen.
Stan
& Verna Martin Always Ended Up With A Rainbow
“There
have been many ups and downs and challenges over the years,” claimed
Verna. “We had five children in six years, so it wasn’t easy. But no
matter how hard things got we always ended up with a rainbow.”
Nothing
Is More Important Than Time Spent With Another Human Being
The
other day I was typing an article on my computer when I was interrupted
by the sound of someone speaking a language which I must admit I am
beginning to understand. It was my 15-month old granddaughter tugging at
my shirt wanting me to play with her.
