Subject: missing child

I apologize to the list. for forwarding the missing child notice. I

always leap before I look.

It tears me apart to think of a child out there missing and a parent's

heart pain. I didn't think it might be a no-no, I just pushed the button

and it was gone before I realized I might not should have.

Again, my apologies. I won't say it won't happen again, because as I

say I leap before I look. But I will try to be more responsible.

Thanks for the explanation, Anne. We all make mistakes from time to

time. I worry more that I'll send an R-rated joke out to all my cuzzins

who are preachers!

So far, no one's submitted any answers! I'm concerned that the questions

were too hard -- or that too much Christmas stuff is taking up your time.....

Mizz Jan Philpot's "Sunday Afternoon Rockin'" for this week.... Please

remember to credit her when you forward her musings -- but do forward them!

============================================================================

From: "j" <unicorn@sun-spot.com>

Afternoon Yall,

Setting here reflecting... on how full of love my heart is right now, and

how right that seems for this season that celebrates the Greatest Love of

All. And it came to me that it is a little odd just how many ways that love

in our hearts is nurtured and cared for until it becomes full to

bursting...what the vehicles are for traveling about and putting that love

in hearts. I personally think the Lord deliberately uses just a lot of

things in this old world to do exactly what He intended all along...that we

love one another. And you know, I truly believe that one of those vehicles

used has been the net. With all of its flaws, all of its shortcomings, and

all of the many things out there on it that are "wrong"...well there is a

lot of good too.

I have seen acts of kindness and generosity unmatched on these genealogy

lists and sites, and you have too. They are not really random, but an

everyday occurance. Folks going out of their way to find a gravesite that

means nothing to them personally...using their days off from work to go

spend hours searching for information that means nothing to their own

research. They sit at a computer and do lookups in books hour after hour,

and they expect not one dime in return. They aren't looking for glory or

honor or money or power, or none of the things this world seems to think is

so important. They send special things that have nothing to do with them-

obituaries, books, photos, marriage records...and expect not a single thing

given back. And that is just the tip of the iceberg... they start to caring

about each other in ways that have nothing to do with genealogy too, and

send cards when they know someone is sick, and caring notes, and they start

to acting like family ought to act toward each other. And pretty soon you

know something is going on that is bigger than any genealogy site, bigger

than any list, bigger than any of us. And you start to know that the real

goodness in folks has been tapped...and "genealogy" is just the vehicle it

happened to travel in this time.

Seems to me that in its modern way, this is not really much different that

what our folks did a hundred years ago. They lived lives in which kindness

and helping one another was not random, but an everyday occurance too. And

they nursed each other, and they helped with the crops and the barn

raisings, the building of homes, shared their food, took each other in under

their roofs, helped each other bury their dead. Not that all that does not

go on today, but now as a general rule, folks seem pretty isolated these

days in their reaching out to one another as compared to the days in which

it was sheer survival to do so.

Well now here we are, in a new kind of neighborhood, and we don't want to

get isolated to this one either...and forget about the one out there near

our doorstep where a meal or a visit or a bit of help would be much

appreciated. But in this new kind of neighborhood, seems to me, we can see

something real special, real inspirational, real renewing of our faith in

people, yes and real close to what our Lord always intended...and quite

plainly REAL.

Yes, the vehicles for bringing out the potential gift that lives in the

hearts of all men are varied...sometimes they travel fast, sometimes slower,

and they show up in unexpected places. They grow out of things that maybe

were intended with a far different destination than the lasting and deepest,

most meaningful one of all....

The caring of a total stranger...the willingness to give of one's time and

energy for someone you never met in your life, and aren't likely to...for

someone you have never hugged, don't know the color of the eyes, or hair, or

skin...don't have a clue where they live or how they live...how important

they are or how much money they control...don't know if their beliefs or

religion mesh with your own...

Well it appears to me, that the caring of a stranger toward a stranger

expecting nothing in return, is one of the greatest forms that Love can

take.

And that is my thought for the day...and why my heart is full to bursting,

Bless you every one,

jan
