Valentines Day Dog

Ah yes, the season of love is upon us!

That time of year when we make great efforts to attract the attention of someone special in our life and let them know we love them.


This is the valentine greeting I receive this year. Woof – Woof!

It’s always nice when you find a sole mate that is the perfect match for you.

"There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread." ~ Mother Teresa

Have you ever asked yourself – Why do we celebrate Valentines Day in February? – I think it is because there is nothing good on TV and it’s still cold outside.

Big Dog Laughs

More humor from Abbythedog.

My master knows there is a conspiracy going on.
Read his observations:

Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper, groceries are heavier, and everything is farther away? Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am a lip reader?

I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own reflection well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.

Clothing manufacturers are conspiring these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling wranglers size 32’s as 36’s or 38’s? Do they think no one notices? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much!

Just who do these people think they're fooling? I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there!

All I can do is pass along this warning:
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

This would keep’em busy.
At a high School in Montana a group of high schoolers played a prank on the school. They let three goats loose in the school. Before they let them go they painted numbers on the sides of the goats. 1,2,4.

Local school administrators spent most of the day looking for #3.

Church Cats
A mother looked out a window and saw Norman
playing church with their three kittens. He had them lined up and was preaching to them. The mother turned around to do some work.

A while later she heard meowing and scratching on the door. She went to the window and saw Norman baptizing the kittens.

She opened the window and said,
"Norman, stop that! You'll drown those kittens."

Norman looked at her and said with much
conviction in his voice: "They should have
thought of that before they joined my church."

Its Okay To Be A Church Dog

Put Your Hope in God
By: Melissa Greenmailto:Greenmailing@tddm.org

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:11

Are you in a situation that seems hopeless? Does it seem there is nothing you can do to make it better, no matter what you try? Do you ever hope someone would come along and help you but no one does?

John 5:1-9 tells of a pool in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate. Around the pool lay many sick people, blind, lame, and paralyzed, they were all waiting. Because at certain times an angel went down into the pool and stirred up the water, then whoever stepped in the moving water first, was made well of whatever disease or sickness he had.

When Jesus came walking by the pool, He saw a man lying there, who had been sick for 38 years and he had been at the pool waiting for the water to be stirred, waiting to be helped for a long time. Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be made well?’ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

The man felt his situation was hopeless. He blamed his not being healed on other people. Either no one would help him, or someone was always getting in ahead of him. He had given in to hopelessness. He was discouraged and depressed. Where was his hope, his faith? His hope was in other people, not in Christ.

Remember Jesus asked him if he “wanted” to be made well? The man didn’t even say yes. He just gave excuses on why he couldn’t get well. Jesus told him to “Rise, take up your bed and walk”. The man was immediately made well, he got up, took his bed and walked.

Friends, don’t ever give in to hopelessness. Don’t wait for someone else to make things better. Don’t blame others for your discouragement or depression. Instead, put your hope in God. Jesus said, “Do you WANT to be made well?” Do you want to rise above this? Then put your hope in God and Get up. Get up and walk. Stop giving up, It is not hopeless, put your hope in God. He will make things better. Replace saying, “There’s no hope” to “My hope is in God”. With God, all things are possible.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”Romans 5:5
