I don't usually listen to preaching, but for some reason I clicked on this today.
I am a huge believer that messages sometimes are given to us in strange ways
Don't waste your angel

A Drowning Man
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."
The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."
To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."
To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"
To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

Yeah, funny how people think God will save them, yet, for whatever reason, they can't use the brain God gave them? Kinda reminds me of this joke:
THE LOTTERY TICKET
John, who was in financial difficulty, walked into a church and started to pray. ''Listen God,'' John said. ''I know I haven't been perfect but I really need to win the lottery. I don't have a lot of money. Please help me out.'' He left the church, a week went by, and he hadn't won the lottery, so he walked into a synagogue.
''Come on, God,'' he said. ''I really need this money. My mom needs surgery and I have bills to pay. Please let me win the lottery.'' He left the synagogue, a week went by, and he didn't win the lottery. So, he went to a mosque and started to pray again.
''You're starting to disappoint me, God,'' he said. ''I've prayed and prayed. If you just let me win the lottery, I'll be a better person. I don't have to win the jackpot, just enough to get me out of debt. I'll give some to charity, even. Just let me win the lottery.'' John thought this did it, so he got up and walked outside.
The clouds opened up and a booming voice said, ''John, buy a effing lottery ticket.''
Uh, a little help here? Amazes me that some people want everything done for them, lol.

O the stories I could tell Danreous thoughtfull ones….mostly
But right now I’m trying to install a starter on the Celicia After all the beautiful work doing the timing belt The starter went bad-- it not that old
Yet I’m concerned a flywheel gear is missing Or is just a bad solenoid ?
Any way I pulled the starter Bench tested it at home It seemed good re-installed Gotta save buck if possible
Same problem !
But sure its not any missing any gears As I stuck my fingers in the starter hole And counted the flywheel gears, ha ha Besides I pushed the car to turn the crank to new gear pitch
So time go buy a new starter> No Wait!
I just stuck flat head screw driver and popped out the solenoid starter gear It was stuck… corrosion. Oil it ! Try to reinstall and I let ya know how that thought goes.. Msolty

The secret ingredient is always love.
Sometimes it’s barely there — a hint, a touch, a whiff — of love.
Sometimes, as with elixirs for healing, it must be applied like thick salve — with tender touch and listening ears and closed mouth; every word must be soaked in love to make a poultice of repair.
Dishes and situations and people can never be ruined by love.
It’s a way of being. Not sickeningly saccahrine, but steadfast, solid presence. I’m there.
The secret ingredient can’t be measured with precision. And most often, it takes so little to make something better. Like an artist choosing the perfect colour, or a writer using words to build images in the reader’s head, the method is intuitive — heart-led.
Love makes moments sweeter, arguments softer, children happier. Love builds up, and fortifies, enriches and leaves us satisfied.
Love is the way I stand in line at the check out and reassure the cashier I’m not in a hurry and I don’t care how she packs the bag. Love is the way I make coffee for the students in the training room. Love is the way I engage in conversation with the homeless man who wants to talk football. Love is the way I make endless suppers and walk the same aisles in the same grocery store and wash the same towels day, after week, after year. Love is the way I choose to do it.
It’s impossible to add too much. Everybody loves to be loved.
Kim Berube

Ahhhhhh, so comforting........wonder why Hayden didn't add "family"...?
Just a thought.
Maybe because not all family are friends ? As a neighbor once said, “Friends are God’s way of apologizing for our families.”

Hope I’m not repeating someone else’s post. If I do, it is a quote worth repeating:
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.
- Albert Einstein
