Dust! For the girls

The Shadow of God's Wings Merciful God... Look down from above: Wrap us, we pray, In they tender love.  Troubles and woe Encompass us round:  Only in Thee Can comfort be found.

LADIES!!! Remember...a  layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.     'A  house  becomes a home  when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture .'      I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure  things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'    Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all  out living life and having fun! NOW,  when people visit, I  don't have to explain  the'condition'  of my home  They  are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing  while I was away living life and having fun. If you haven't  figured this out yet, please heed this advice.  Life  is short. Enjoy it!    Dust if you must .........  but  wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter,  bake  cookies or a cake  and  lick the spoon or plant a seed,  ponder  the difference between want and need? Dust  if you must,  but  there's not much time . . . . with water   to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb  ,  music  to hear and books to read,friends and children to cherish and a life to lead.   Dust  if you must,  but  the world's out there with the sun in your eyes,  the  wind in your hair, a  flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This  day will not come around, again.      Dust if you must  ,  but  bear in mind,  old  age will come and it's not kind. . .  And  when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more  dust!    Share  this with all the wonderful women in your life. I  JUST DID. It's  not what you gather,  but  what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
