I had some free time, so what did I do? I checked the computer to see if I'd heard from you! I use to walk out to a box to retrieve mail. But I'd rather get it instantly, than wait on the snail! Checking my e-mail is always fun! I usually get a joke or e-mail greeting from someone. I feel so blessed because on the other end, I know I've connected with a friend! When I've had a hard day and need to share, Here I can find a friend who will listen and care. And to this friend I hope I've let them know That I am always there for them also! Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form? It isn't exactly like the "norm"! But where is it written, face to face we must be, For you to be a very good friend to me?? That little joke or note, or just a simple "Hi", Could be like a ray of sunshine from the sky! So e-mail Pal, this is dedicated to you, For all the smiles you have made anew! May our friendship continue to grow, And the warmth we feel continue to flow! ~Author Unknown~ Every night I lie in bed This little prayer inside my head - God bless my mom and dad and bless my children and take care of my husband he brings me so much joy. And God there's just one more thing I wish that you would do - if you don't mind me asking - to just bless my puter too?? Now I know that its not normal, to bless a small machine, but listen just a second and I'll try to explain; You see, that little metal box holds more than odds and ends; inside those small components rest a hundred loving friends. Some its true I've never seen and most I've never met; we've never shaken hands or ever truly hugged, and yet - I know for sure they love me by the kindnesses they give and this little scrap of metal is how I get to where they live. By faith is how I know them, much the same as I know you. I share in what life brings them so if its ok with you - Just take an extra minute from your duties up above, to bless this little hunk of steel thats filled with so much love. ~Author Unknown~     © Tina's Prayer Gate July 2, 2013
