I smiled tonight, (no, laughed out loud)when I read Sandra's story of the three little pigs. Sweetie, In case you didn't notice, I came and tucked you in tonight.

Tonight the moon smiled at me  it really did, the moon smile looked just like:

First, I thought God is happy that so many are turning to him in prayer and praise,  then I thought its Austin and Louis giggling and its past their bedtime???  And Goran is letting them get away with it    
cause they are on Heaven time.

Xanadue, what special pictures. I am sure the moon smiled at you and have no doubts that Austin and Louis are giggling well past their bedtimes. I am sure that Goran, Robby, Tim, Seneca and all the other children of those who post here are letting them get away with it. They all probably have decided to have some "heaven time" late night play time. May you carry their smile into your own sleep and sense their love gently, playfully wrapping around you.

I smiled today
because through some fluke of serendipity
I can now make 's!
The secret is to hold down 'alt', tap on '3', and let go of 'alt' . . .
the heart magically appears after you let go of the 'alt' button!
At least that's how it works for me

Welcome to the hearts club Sparrow!
I'm not sure how Sandra made the others because half of them don't work for me
 
Pity they don't work elsewhere on the computer, except Outlook Express. They seem to work there too.
 
Love, Jude

I smiled today because I spotted a tiny chocolate egg wrapped in pink foil in the vast fields through which I was walking. The Easter Bunny must have lost it when preparing for Easter. Of course I left it there for a child to find...

to say I am dim as I know I am notthis is my new therapy.

Dear Juliana . . .
I smiled today after reading your post about leaving the chocolate egg for Sandra.
As a 'grown up'
I always leave the pennies I find,
for little faces closer to the ground . . .
Our next door neighbors had a daughter who often play in the area between our houses.
One day, while going through my beadwork
I found a little pair of earring I'd made
that looked just right for a little girl.
In the evening,
I went out and laid them in the grass . . .
they were gone the next afternoon.
I hope it was she who found them,
and not a crow  with an eye for something bright and shiny . . .
with love . . . sparrow

Dear Sparrow,

I left the little chocolate egg for a child - and Sandra found it!

Here is a story which made me smile today:




[color="#000000" size="2"]A couple brought their child to the supermarket. They filled the trolley and arrived at the check out. A girl waved them on and said, “It’s ok, everything is free, there is no charge today.” “You won’t fool me today, its April’s Fool”, said the Dad. The girl insists it’s all free and there’s no charge. They continue to put the shopping up on the counter but to be told it’s all free. A joke is a joke and the parents are in a desperate hurry. But where is their son? He had heard the magic word, ‘free’. By now he had grabbed another trolley and was dashing around the shop grabbing boxes of sweets and crisps. He had no problem with the word free and saw the situation as an opportunity rather than a problem. So often we struggle as adults with the word free and in particular God’s generous and free love for us. It may be April Fools Day but there is no fooling about God’s constant and steady love for us - James McSweeney

Thank you, Juliana, for this amusing story!
 
It is always a good question, when something should be taking literally or not!
"Drop in any time" doesn't quite mean that. "How are you?" is more a greeting than an invitation to a lengthy report, especially, when someone keeps on walking!
Children don't have to worry about such niceties!
 
Happy April Fool's Day!
Love,
Edda
 
P.S. Perhaps these little messages honor the day?!
Peace and joy!

Dear Barbara
 
Im smiling because I am God's child and he is holding me .
 
I am smiling reading your words bless you so much ♥
 
 
 
My Sparrow you are so kind and gentle you really are.
 
I smiled reading about the pennies.I came across this poem
 
about a penny a while ago and your post made me think of it
 





I found a penny today,
just laying on the ground.
But it is not just a penny,
this little coin I found.
Found pennies come from heaven,
thats what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss then down,
oh how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you,
they toss a penny down.
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
make a smile out of your frown.
So don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,
that an Angel's tossed to you
.

Juliana, Thank you for posting the story from "My Gift to You". He usually has wonderful pictures daily that he has taken and always has some meaningful writing.

I smiled today when I thought of Sandra gleefully finding the chocolate egg. My questioning turned into a giant smile when I passed an SUV on the interstate on my way to an appointment. It had two giant white ears with pink centers blowing straight up in the wind; one on the driver's side front door and one on the passenger side front door. As I pulled over to exit the interstate, I saw a giant round pink, puffy nose on the grill of the SUV which completed the perfect "bunny face." Is it just me or do any of you see the faces on the fronts of cars. My last car that got totaled from a rear end collision was called "Scooter" because it had an impish "little boy" face. My car now is named Brunhilde because her face looks like Brunhilde. She does what she wants when she wants to, including lock the car when I am in it, relock it if I haven't gotten in soon enough after I have unlocked it. Today, I saw Bunny Rabbit with her giant pink fluffy nose and she made me smile.
Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.
