![]() (smiles) Oh Linda, I just love how you've said this, sweet friend, we may leave with nothing but our souls just as we came in but yet we "become" all we hope to be if we live life to the fullest! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we al love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Wise words and quite true. We're nothing more than caretakers, only to one day be replaced by others. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

I've been trying all day to come up with a suitable response and there are no words I can say that are worthy enough for what you have written. Really, really inspired writing. TwistedSoul Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Everything on this earth is on loan to us by God....What we do with these "gifts" determines on what wealth we'll have, if any, when we enter a better place....Wealth should be measured by the prayers we've had answered, the love we've had from friends and family, not by the material things that one's accumulated..... |

It's great! ********************************************* Noah ~ Thank you for your feedback! ********************************************* Auguste ~ There certainly is no permanence and no ownership in that respect. ********************************************* ~ Have a pleasant evening!
