Everyone Needs Someone.

October 9^th, 2006 Post 36.

Hi There People ~ I hope you have all had a great weekend.

It is Monday night here and the floors are clean, thanks to

my fortnightly helper. The laundry is all done and put away-

thanks to me. I had a couple of other callers too, so today

has just gone. So I am late doing this ~~ what’s new ?

A cousin of mine has sold her house and bought another one

with a month to fill in before she can move into the new home.

So she is coming to spend some time with me in about a week

and I am really looking forward to that and would like her to

spend the whole waiting time with me. Guess she will see how

I treat her !!

I would like to wish my friend Sue a very happy birthday for

the 10^th of October. I hope you have a great day Sue. Please

pop over and say Hi to her.

Tonight’s poem is “Everyone Needs Someone.”

People need people and friends need friends

And we all need love for a full life depends

Not on vast riches or grest acclaim,

But just in knowing that someone cares

And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers.

For only the knowledge that we’re understood

Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,

And we rob ourselves of life’s greatest need

When we “lock up our hearts” and fail to heed

The outstretched hand reaching to find

A kindred spirit whose heart and mind

Are lonely and longing to somehow share

Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware

That life’s completeness and richness depends

On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

Now for a few jokes - - -

A dumb blonde was standing in front of a soda machine

outside of a local store. After putting in sixty cents, a

root beer pops out of the machine. She set it on the

ground, puts sixty more cents into the machine, and

pushes another button, suddenly a coke comes out.

She continues to do this until a man waiting to use the

machine becomes impatient. “Excuse me, can I get my

soda and then you can go back to whatever stupid thing

you are doing?”

The blonde turns around and says, “Yeah right ! I’m not

giving up this machine while I’m still winning !”

charity enough to see some good in your neighbour,

faith enough to make real the things of God,

hope enough to remove all anxious fear regarding the

future,
