I smile today because ... despite any pain or darkness I can sometimes allow to cloud my vision, there is the ever present moment where I can stand in the Light of All That Is, and then, I can do no other thing.

that 'the Light of  All That Is'

I smiled tonight reading this....
 
Socks and Shoes

A little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"

As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears his eyes, answered the question with these words: "Are you God's Wife?"

I smiled tonight when I received this email

Bear Attack in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack in Churchill.
These pictures were taken while people watched and could do nothing to stop the attack!
Reports from the local newspaper say that the victim will make a full recovery.
The photos are below.
  
  
Your SMILE is great exercise for your heart!

I laughed out loud while watching Meerkats trying to catch ants on David Attenborough's new series. They must be one of the funniest little creatures on the planet. I couldn't resist this Google image...

 
But my biggest smile was during a scene of elephants and their babies. One tiny baby elephant got stuck in the mud, which can be fatal, and its mother was inexperienced. Her efforts to help him only made things worse.... until Grandma came on the scene! She spotted the tragedy about to happen and trumpeted to the rescue, roughly shoving Mother out of the way. Then she stood back watching as the baby scrambled out of the hole. Wonderful footage!

Looking at the David Copperfield cards I noticed that none of the cards on top are matching completely those on the bottom. So, no matter what card we choose, it wil be gone!  At least that is what I see!
 
Edda
Peace and joy!

I've cracked it!
 
Edda, you put me on the right track..in fact you probably saw what I now see.
 
The first selection are, King of Hearts, Jack of Clubs, King of Spades, Queen of Diamonds, Queen of Clubs and Jack of Diamonds.
