680.0. "Something or Someone Lovely" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (We will rise!) Thu May 20 1993 16:22

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever
things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] �lovely,� whatsoever
things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if
[there be] any praise, think on these things.

What are some of the lovely things about your life?

Peace,
Richard

Makes me think of my hubby - he has all those attributes; despite 
adversity he remains true, honest, just, pure of heart - he really is 
a lovely human being.  He has a childlike innocence enabling him to
see the good in everyone (which to me is what Jesus referred to when
he spoke of becoming as children to enter the kingdom of heaven).

    		Friends that are that just because you are and not who you
    know.  Recently a person showed that to me without resveration.  What
    a breath of fresh air in trying times.  I'd name this person but it
    might embarrass her.

    Recently I had to put my old dog-friend down because of his failing
    health.  My very lovely and thoughtful sister sent me a bereavement
    card.  I was really touched by her kindness and understanding.

	I attended Friends Meeting (Quaker worship) last Sunday accompanied
by a woman I would describe simply as lovely, and her charming daughter.

	The weather was not nearly as gracious as the company, I'm afraid.

Peace,

    The beautiful spring weather that we have been having every weekend for
    the last several weeks has just been awesomely lovely.  It almost--and
    I stress *almost*--makes up for last winter.

        For my tastes and purposes, the only fault with last winter
        is that it had me spoiled -- I know I won't see another
        winter like that for a long time!  The cross-country skiing
        was just *perfect* for the longest time!

    Agree with you too Bob. Loved the winter....best down hill and cross
    country skiing ever.

    I saw a tee shirt once. "If you don't do the winter you haven't earned
    the summer." I can live with a snowy winter if it means we get springs
    like this one has been so far.

    But we knew that already. :-)

    Actually Mike I know what you need to do. You need a hot tub. That is
    what gets me through the winter. The ideal situation is to set it up
    where you can see outside (don't put it outside). What I do is turn off
    the inside lights, turn on the outside lights, and watch the snow fall
    will I soak in 104 degree warmth. Stay in long enough to get seriously
    warm before bed. You'll feel warm all night and sleep well. Repeat as
    needed. :-)

    This also works well as a cure for the cold and pains brought on by 
    shoveling snow.

    >put it outside). 
    
    Alfred, that's good advice about not putting it outside.  I once sat in
    an outdoor hottub for an hour or so during the winter; the water heater
    was not working real well, and when I came inside I was shivering
    uncontrollably.  I don't know what the symptoms of hypothermia are, but
    that's what comes to mind in my case.  It was only after taking a long
    hot shower that I was finally able to stop shivering.

    getting back to the subject...
    
    What's lovely to me is the excitement, trust and love on my beautiful
    daughter's face when she greets me with "Guess what,
    Mommy...<accomplishment or discovery of the day>".  
    
    It is so lovely to watch the joy with which she rediscovers the world I
    tend to take for granted.  A rainbow never looked so brilliant until I
    saw one reflected in her eyes.
