Puppy Size

Posted by onescraphappychic

This is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear.

You will know precisely what this little girl

is talking about at the end

(you’ll want to share this one

with your loved ones and special friends)!

‘Danielle Keeps repeating it over and

over again. We’ve been back to

this animal shelter at least five times.

It has been weeks now since we started all of

this,’ the mother told the volunteer.

‘What is it she keeps asking for?’

the volunteer asked. ‘Puppy size!’

replied the mother ‘Well, we have plenty

of puppies, if that’s what she’s looking for.’

‘I know….. We have seen most of them, ‘

the mom said in frustration…

Just then Danielle came walking into

the office ‘Well, did you find one?’ asked her mom.

‘No, not this time,’ Danielle said with sadness in her voice.

‘Can we come back on the weekend?’

The two women looked at each other,

shook their heads and laughed

‘You never know when we will get more dogs.

Unfortunately, there’s always a supply,’ the volunteer said.

Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll find one this weekend,’ she said.

Over the next few days both

Mom and Dad had long conversations with her.

They both felt she was being too particular.

‘It’s this weekend or we’re not looking any more,’

Dad finally said in frustration.

‘We don’t want to hear anything

more about puppy size, either,’ Mom added.

Sure enough, they were the first ones in the

shelter on Saturday morning.

By now Danielle knew her way around,

so she ran right for the section that housed

the smaller dogs. Tired of the routine,

mom sat in the small waiting room

at the end of the first row of cages.

There was an observation window

so you could see the animals during

times when Visitors weren’t permitted.

Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage,

kneeling periodically to take a closer look.

One by one the dogs were brought out

and she held each one. One by one she said,

‘Sorry, but you’re not the one.’

It was the last cage on this last day

in search of the perfect pup.

The volunteer opened the cage door

and the child carefully picked up the

dog and held it closely.

This time she took a little longer.

‘Mom, that’s it! I found the right puppy!

He’s the one! I know it!’ She screamed with joy.

‘It’s the puppy size!’

‘But it’s the same size as all the other

puppies you held over the last few weeks,’ Mom said.

‘No not size… The sighs.

When I held him in my arms, he sighed,’ she said.

‘Don’t you remember? When I asked you one

day what love is, you told me love depends

on the sighs of your heart.

The more you love, the bigger the sigh!’

The two women looked at each other for a moment.

Mom didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As she stooped down to hug the child,

she did a little of both.

‘Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh.

When you and Daddy come home from

work and hug each other, you both sigh.

I knew I would find the right puppy if it

sighed when I held it in my arms,’ she said.

Then, holding the puppy up close to her face,

she said, ‘Mom, he loves me. I heard the

sighs of his heart!’

Close your eyes for a moment and think

about the love that Makes you sigh.

I not only find it in the arms of my loved

ones, but in the caress of a sunset,

the kiss of the moonlight and

the gentle brush of cool air on

a hot day. They are the sighs of God.

Take the time to stop and listen;

you will be surprised at what you hear.

‘Life is not measured by the breaths we take,

but by the moments that take Our breath away.

‘I hope your life is filled with Sighs!!!

Thank you Veteran’s

The Farmer’s Donkey

Posted by onescraphappychic

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer
tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old,

and the well needed to be covered up

anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve

the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to

come over and help him.

They all grabbed a shovel and began

to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what

was happening and cried horribly.

Then, to everyone’s amazement he

quieted down.A few shovel loads

later, the farmer finally looked down the well.

He was astonished at what he saw.

With each shovel of dirt that hit his back,

the donkey was doing something amazing.

He would shake it off and take a step up..

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel

dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off

and take a step up.Pretty soon, everyone

was amazed as the donkey stepped up over

the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it

off and take a step up. Each of our troubles

is a steppingstone. We can get out of the

deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!

Shake it off and take a step up.

NOW ……. Enough of that…

The donkey later came back,

and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.

The gash from the bite got infected and the

farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY’S LESSON:

When you try to cover your …..,

it always comes back to bite you.

School

Posted by onescraphappychic

All right so I am taking my first 2 classes
since I received my Associates Degree at
Snow College in 2001.

School has proven difficult! What was I thinking
when I decided to go back to school?????

I often have to remind myself the reasons…

1. A better job..a job that I will enjoy and can be
creative while doing it.

2. A better life for my family…hopefully with the
skills I learn at school I will be able to give my
family a better life…not living pay check to pay
check and robbing Peter to pay Paul.

3. An example to my children. I am hoping that
by going back to school I will be able to set a
great example to my kids to show them they
can do what they want! Not to let ANYTHING
stand in their way!

4. To prove to myself that I can still learn and
grow! That I am still able to give my opinion and
have my voice heard! After such a long time of
NOT being able to have my OWN opinion I can
finally speak my mind. Which is funny I was told
this week at work I need to keep my opinion to
myself and not be so opinionated. Well, fui on the
that!! MY OPINION IS IMPORTANT AND DON’T
TELL ME IT IS NOT!!!

5. Because I can! I have the support of my
wonderful husband and my great children!
Others that are supportive of my decision!

Well, web design world here I come!!

WET PANTS

Posted by onescraphappychic

Come with me to a third grade classroom……

There is a nine-year-old kid sitting

at his desk and all of a sudden,

there is a puddle between his feet

and the front of his pants are wet.

He thinks his heart is going to stop

because he cannot possibly imagine

how this has happened.

It’s never happened before,

and he knows that when the

boys find out he will never hear the end of it.

When the girls find out,

they’ll never speak to him again

as long as he lives…

The boy believes his heart is going to stop;

he puts his head down and prays this prayer,

‘Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now!

Five minutes from now I’m dead meat.’

He looks up from his prayer and

here comes the teacher with a look

in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him,

a classmate named Susie is carrying a

goldfish bowl that is filled with water.

Susie trips in front of the teacher and

inexplicably dumps the bowl of water

in the boy’s lap. The boy pretends to be angry,

but all the while is saying to himself,

‘Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!’

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object

of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy.

The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives

him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out.

All the other children are on their hands

and knees cleaning up around his desk.

The sympathy is wonderful.

But as life would have it, the ridicule

that should have been his has been

transferred to someone else – Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out.

You’ve done enough, you klutz!’

Finally, at the end of the day,

as they are waiting for the bus,

the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,

‘You did that on purpose, didn’t you?’

Susie whispers back, ‘I wet my pants once too..’

May God help us see the opportunities

that are always around us to do good…

Each and everyone one of us is going

through tough times right now,

but God is getting ready to bless

you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

Golf anyone???
