The spirit of aloha and giving is alive and well here in the islands. We just fed over 2000 people at our annual Salvation Army Thanksgiving Dinner. What a blessing to see tha faces of those who came that would not have been able to have a dinner of their own on Thanksgiving Day. It was so good to see you, I am always blessed when you come by.<BR/><BR/>Hugz LorieJoyfulsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288063897551319116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031244916008481934.post-26959881025248566932008-11-29T21:42:00.000-06:002008-11-29T21:42:00.000-06:00I loved reading about Johnny Appleseed when I was ...I loved reading about Johnny Appleseed when I was a child... too bad they don't read these stories in school any more.<BR/>Our words are powerful! <BR/>thanks for yours!!Technonanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654136310714956586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031244916008481934.post-73033398070794974652008-11-29T19:59:00.000-06:002008-11-29T19:59:00.000-06:00I had forgotten the history of Johnny Appleseed. I...I had forgotten the history of Johnny Appleseed. It is a truly inspirational story and well worth remembering. It is important to sew seeds of goodness. *Being good* is under rated these days. This is something I fail in frequently, but am still Under Construction. My father sewed hate in me with his fists and hateful words, and I still fight those demons.

A few days ago I posted "Listen" - a story about my recently deceased mother sharing a Christmas gift with a store clerk for her orphaned grandsons. As you point out, everyone is carrying a burden of some kind, if we just take the time to listen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031244916008481934.post-38734077691747579202008-11-29T15:41:00.000-06:002008-11-29T15:41:00.000-06:00Very nice lesson from the Johnny Appleseed story. ...Very nice lesson from the Johnny Appleseed story.

I love how you brought in the sowing of our seeds in life. The Lord wants us to be patient and He gives us so much. Why is it sometimes so hard to look on the other side? May God give us a loving heart and a willingness to feel for what the other person is going through. Aren't grandchildren the most wonderful creatures?nanatrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710834330081243962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031244916008481934.post-13346463201762042792008-11-29T13:25:00.000-06:002008-11-29T13:25:00.000-06:00Beautifully written post, and oh, so true!!!Beautifully written post, and oh, so true!!!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798489606177883758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031244916008481934.post-1928412742482927232008-11-29T13:08:00.000-06:002008-11-29T13:08:00.000-06:00I pray we sow faith, hope, and love daily.
