Looking ahead the hills seem steep and the road rises up to the sky. But as we near them and start to climb, they never seem half as high.

When Times Seem Tough

When times seem tough and jobs are few, it can make a person wonder what to do.

Every day is the same as you job look, but the employer's aren't hiring, not even a cook.

Each day you think it will be better for sure, but the end of the day is just like the day before.

The bills go on, the kids must eat, and soon they will need shoes for their feet.

I pray that tomorrow will bring me some luck, thinking now I'll take anything, just for a buck.

The employer's, I checked with at least ten today, but they just smile, saying the same old thing;

"Thanks for coming by but right now we don't have anything in which you can apply."

Now tired and homeward bound, I must stop for some gas, while paying my bill the clerk just happens to ask, "Do you know anyone who is looking for a job today, it has benefits, lots of hours and real good pay, but no big title to put by their name.” “Yes, I do as a matter of fact, me and I can start anytime, so very glad that you asked."

Sometimes faith and good fortune is near, we just miss those little things so obvious and dear. Remember, when times seem tough don't give up, keep the faith and endure the game of life and you too will find the right working stuff.

The sounds of spring

There are sounds of spring in the air, close your eyes, see what you can hear.

The birds are singing in the trees, watching for those wiggle worms that so do please.

The Whipper Will has a sound all its own, what a blessing it shares with its special tone.

The bird known to us as Bob White, says it all with a tone each day and night.

The tree frogs now serenade their mates, what a sounding noise they do make.

The wise old owl up in the tree, making a whoooooo sound, saying hey don’t forget me.

The crickets and grasshoppers now adding a tune, letting us know that spring is real soon.

Ponderables - Something to think about!

 

1. Can you cry under water?

2. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

3. Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

4. Why is it that our children can’t read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?

5. How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

6. Why do doctors leave the room why we change? They’re going to see you naked anyway.

7. I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitted clothing. If I had loose-fitted clothing I wouldn’t have signed up in the first place!
