Rainbow Bridge Gang.  Special Report.  R.C.M.P.

Tink and Poo and the Gang

tinkerpoo2000@yahoo.com

We were sitting here, talking, when we get a request to dig up some

facts on a fellow, or a couple of them. German Shepherds, you know

police dogs.  We have a first rate police dog in our family, known as

old Bobby.  He is always on the look out for crooks of any kind. 

Just the other day some crooked politician tried slipping in across the

Bridge, Old Bobby sent him packing to the other gate. 

Anyhow, we need to find these fellows, Shadow and Saber.  Bob said

they're from Canada, he wonders if Sgt. King of the R.C.M.P. might

have a clue.   So Bob takes a walk, after a bit he comes back with

this Sgt. King.   Sgt. King had served on this group, R.C.M.P..  You

know the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  We told him all we knew of

this pair, and  Sgt. King said give him a little time.  A good Mountie

always tracks things down. Poo said he sure would hate to get on the

wrong side of  Sgt. King. Nice looking chap, but you could tell he was

all four paws a tough cop.  Bob asked what do you expect out of a

Police Dog?  And don't forget, he belonged to that bunch called the

Mounties of Canada.

After  a couple days passed by,  here Sgt. King is with these two fine

chaps along with a man by the name of Winford. Then we get the story.

Seems like both these guys worked as cops on the R.C.M.P. They are the

real trackers, the four paws unit.  No wonder Sgt. King found them so

fast.  We were told those guys have their own special group.  Now

Shadow, and Winford were already on the other side of the Bridge, living

in their Manson on the hill.  So they crossed back to visit with

us.  Those Royal Canadian Mounted Police Dogs always get their man you

know. You put them on the trail, they're right good trackers. 

 After a while the man said "come on Shadow, lets go back home. We will

come back every once in a while to visit this gang, and Saber."  Guess

Saber is going to wait for Pauline, then when Pauline's time comes she

will pick up Saber, and any others she may have befriended.

Pauline, yes your fine looking chaps are here, there is no more pain,

all are young, full of pep, full of life, just having a great time. The

only thing missing is you and yes, Shiloh.  We know when God calls,

you too will come up the lane, and get off the Glory Train. Till that

time, Shadow, along with Winford, will live in the mansion.

So Pauline, the guys are here, just waiting for you to come home. There

may be others here that will run to greet you when you come up the

trail. You sound like a lover of us Little People.

Saber said he would stick with our group, Bob might need a little

help once in awhile guarding this group, and also on policing the

Bridge, never know when more crooked political hacks might show up. 

Got to send them to the right gate for crooks.

TWINKLING SIGHT

Dr. Harmander Singh

            They were waling alone in the night. When they crossed the bridge of the river, they stopped and started to look into the water of the river.

"It's beautiful! Is not it? The first child was very glad.

"Yes, it's wonderful! The second child replied.

"Se, the water seems twinkling,” the first child enjoyed the beauty.

"Hey! See there are many moons and stars. Is not it great?” the second child was lost in the beauty.

"John, we're getting late. Mum will be waiting for us. Let's go,” the first child suggested.

"Come on Sunny, we will tell Mum that we were enjoying the sight,” John suggested.

"No, please come, let's show this to Mum. She'll be glad too,” Sunny requested.

            They left and after sometime, their mother was with them on the bridge.

"Mum, see the flowing waters. Is not it so beautiful?” Sunny said to his mother.

"Yes, I used to stand here when I was a child. It is a great pleasure that you have brought me here. Thanks a lot,” she thanked them.

"You are welcome,” both of them replied together. 

"Let me show you something else,” she suggested.

"What is it?” they were curious.

            She threw a pebble in the river and it made a flowing circle spreading the twinkling in the randomness in the circles. It fascinated all of them. Then they threw some pebbles and circles went to the sea with joy that three human glorified the night with the flow. They left the sight with delight, twinkling in their eyes.

Daily Moral Insight for a Peaceful Night

Is not it beautiful to see the twinkling in the river at night?

Is not it wonderful that in every natural beauty we see the reflection of human relatedness of near and dear ones?

Is not it a great feeling to show our close ones a sight, which we have enjoyed?

Is not it a great pleasure to remind someone of his or her great joys of life?

Is not it beautiful that all of the natural cycles add to our joys and have healing touch for our sorrows in their tender care of us?

Like A Child

Conrad S. Cardinal

Come to Jesus like a child, in awe

of his love.

Realizing His presence in our lives

is a gift from above.

Helping us to overcome our trials

in life and draw closer to God.

Some we know, think this point of

view is odd.

Only a childs innocents and willing-

ness to accept, will open our hearts.

To help us feel the love of Jesus and

all it's incredible parts.

His love consists of many traits, joy,

patience, unselfishness and is kind.

He forgets our wrongs, rejoices in our

success,brings hope and truth to our mind.

He never give up, always believing we

can win.

Granting us power by His presence, to

help us overcome sin.

This all happens through the Holy Spirit,

sent to comfort us.

The Spirit dwells in a child’s heart, because

he doesn't fuss

Just as our children reach out to us, believing

we'll make things right.

We must reach out to Him with patience

and faith, believing we can win the fight.

Don't Be Depressed

Conrad S. Cardinal

If you're depressed, feel alone and don't

know what to do.

There are some things I've learned I'd

like to share with you.

At times we all feel inadequate and

different from the rest.

Even those that are popular, don't

always feel they are best.

Success in business or in life doesn't

seem to change this fact.

We're all distraught or uncomfortable

at times and don't know how to act.

Our hurt may be so deep,  pain that

never ends.

We tend to hold our feelings in, never

sharing with family or friends.

Remember we are children of God and

worthy to be blessed.

You and I are no different than the rest.

Think before you make a foolish choice.

God has blessings for you my friend, I

believe you should rejoice.

Get on your knees and ask for his spirit

to come and dwell in your heart.

Now do all  you can  to walk in faith,

you must do your part.

Take this advice I offer,the adversary

will back away.

I believe in my heart you'll find the path

and a brighter day.

Conrad
