Advent truth ...

"The darker the world becomes the 

more I long for the light

The light is coming 

Ready yourself to see the light and 

to show it to others still drowning in 

darkness

The light shines in

darkness and the darkness has

 not overcome it  Be the 

light  Show the light" 

Karen Prior Swallow

Jesus speaking:

"I am the light of the world. He who follow me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of the life." John 8:12

Friendship Friday

 An Irish Prayer

May God give you, for every storm, a rainbow,

For every tear, a smile,

For every care, a promise

And a blessing for each trial.

For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share,

For every sigh, a sweet song.

And an answer for each prayer.

Thrifty Thursday

"Goodwill Industries was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist and a social innovator. Helms collected used household goods and clothing in wealthier areas of Boston, then trained and hired those who were poor to mend and repair the used goods. The goods were then were either resold or given to people who repaired them. The system worked, and the Goodwill philosophy of "hand up, not a hand out was born."

"Goodwill. America's Original Thrift. "  Quote was from South Carolina's Goodwill Web site. 

This young man serves at a local independent coffee shop.  Where did he get his sweater? At a local Goodwill Store. 

Musings...

 I love a good Hallmark movie. Do you think I should pitch this storyline to Hallmark Channel? 

Here is the plot synopsis:  There is a beautiful young woman travels the world teaching in several countries. A handsome young man travels the world serving in the military. She is from Indiana. He is from Michigan. They met at US Embassy event for  expatriates. They meet... fall in love... and get married while he is stationed on an island.

Is this story believable?  What do you think?
