Todays message is a reminder that we should not judge a book by its cover.?We each have both good and bad qualities in life, our goal should be to never judge anyone without getting to know them better, you might find a great friendship. I hope this week has brought you many reason to smile and be happy in the moment?and that you take some time out, to find that happiness.
Life is too short to live it miserably and without happiness!

?Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more

Giving pays the highest interest rate, and has the longest term, of any investment available.

Ears
"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred.
When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.
He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy ... called me a freak."
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. "But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
The boy's father had a session with the family physician. Could nothing be done? "I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided.

Whereupon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by.
Then, "You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret," said the father. The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. "But I must know!" He urged his father, "Who gave so much for me? I
could never do enough for him." "I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know ... not yet."
The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come ... one of the darkest days that a son must endure. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to reveal that the mother -- had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," he whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?" Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance, but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what that can be seen, but what that cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what that is done but not known.

Golf anyone.......LOL
Moses and Jesus were out golfing. They came to the 12th hole where you had to hit over a small pond.
Jesus got up on the tee and Moses asked him what club he was going to use to get over the water.
"I'm hitting a 7-iron," replied Jesus, "that's what Arnold Palmer hits with on this hole."
Moses told him he didn't think he could make it with a 7-iron, but Jesus insisted, "If Arnold Palmer hits a 7-iron over so can I."
He hits the 7-iron and sure enough he it right in the middle of the pond. He told Moses to retrieve his ball, so Moses parted the waters and walked out and brought it back to him.
He asked Jesus again, "Now what club are you going to use?" Jesus replied, "A 7-iron, if Arnold Palmer can do it so can I."
He hits again and back into the water it goes. He sends Moses after the ball again.
Moses parts the waters and brings it back again and asks the same question.
Jesus says, "Arnold Palmer uses a 7-iron and I know I can too."
Moses says disgustingly, "If you hit it in the water this time I am not going after it, you will have to go get it yourself."
So Jesus hits the 7-iron again and sure enough, back in the water so he walks upon the water and goes after it.
About that time another golfer comes by, looks out and sees Jesus walking on the water and says to Moses, "Who does that guy think he is, Jesus?"
"No," says Moses, "he thinks he's Arnold Palmer."

Have an Awesome Day!
