The Gift
From the time I was little I knew I was different and I was considered shy in
my younger years because I didn’t know how to handle the “Gifts” I had and
I was afraid if people knew they would make fun of me. When I got older I
learned how to hide them and play it cool. It has its advantages, but also the
disadvantages. One of the gifts is I can meet someone and within a minute I
know them as if I’ve known them all my life. The advantage of this is; you
will meet someone and you know right off they are frauds, liars, trouble
makers, or someone you just don’t want to associate with. You also know if
they are true and right from the beginning you make friends with them. But,
the ones that can fool others but not you makes it rough and you have to pretend to like them to keep you from looking like a snob until you can excuse
yourself from their presence and not have to worry about seeing them again.
It can be fun sometimes playing them before they can play you. Another
“Gift” you know when something is going to happen, well sometimes it’s a
gift because the warnings can come days in advance which will put you on
edge until it happens. You know when the phone will ring, know when your
kids needs you, you know when to get back up and lock the door, because
your gift makes you wake up in the middle of the night to go check it. My
mom had the gift, I have it, and my daughter has it. You don’t broadcast this
gift because back in the old days they would’ve called you a witch and
burned you at the stake, now people just call you weird. I have adjusted so
well and so has my daughter where no one even knows we have the gift. I
remember one time my daughter and I was driving on a rural back road on a
gorgeous afternoon having a great time talking and enjoying the day. We had
taken the long way around and the road was narrow and when you met another vehicle you both practically had to stop to edge by each other. There
was a sharp turn and right before we started around it I pulled practically
over in the ditch and came to a stop. My daughter looked over at me and
asked me what I was doing? About that time a big tanker truck was flying
around the turn on our side of the road and if we had met it in the middle of
the road we both would’ve been killed. She looked at me and said she
should’ve known I knew it was dangerous to go around the turn. Another
time my daughter and her boyfriend went to leave for a date and as they
started out the door I stopped them. I looked at my daughter with the look
she had came to known and I told her she forgot something in her room. We
walked in her bedroom and she asked what was wrong and I told her I had a
bad feeling. She hugged me and said she did too. She yelled for her boyfriend and asked would he care to watch a movie at home tonight and he said
no problem. As they were scanning through the channels to see what was on
TV the fire trucks went out and when we turned the scanner on there was a
real bad rock slide on the route they would’ve taken. If they had left when
they started to they would’ve been buried under the pile of boulders. She is
now married and she will call me and I’ll answer on the first ring because I
would be in the middle of calling her when she called and same way when I
call her. As far as mom, well she’s gone, but she is still here. When I’m having a day and I think the world is closing in on me she lets me know she is
still here with me. Usually it’s something funny that is a joke between us.
She’s getting obvious to others though when she lets me know she is watching me and her shoulder is still here for me to lean on. I think that’s why she
always does something funny to cheer me up. I have a friend that we compare notes on with our adventures and it’s great sometimes knowing that my
family wasn’t the only ones to inherit the gifts. I play it down a lot when
things happen and act innocent and to the most part no one ever suspects. I
could tell you hundreds of incidents, but I think you get the idea of my abilities and there are a lot more than me, so when you are trying to fool someone, remember you might be the one been fooled and looking more foolish
every time you open your mouth with another lie. Remember always be true
and honest cause you don’t know who has the “Gift” and can see right
through you.

SUG’S QUOTE FOR THIS ISSUE
I say luck is when an opportunity comes
along and you're prepared for it.
********************
To succeed in life, you need three things:
a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone
***************************
You got to try your luck at least once a day, you could be
going around lucky all day and not even know it.
*********************************
Luck is believing you're lucky.

From the
Mayors Desk
Warmer Weather
has finally arrived
and
hopefully
there will be no
more large snows.
If this weather
holds we will begin to patch some
potholes on Town
Streets very soon. We have a lot of small to medium
repairs to make and I hope to get The Department of
Highways up here to patch their streets. If you have a
pothole that needs repaired call Town Hall and let
Ron Deel know about it. The Fairs and Festivals Jam
Session was a Great Success and raised money to
purchase games for the little ones for The Clendenin
Independence Day Celebration. The Fairs and Festivals Committee will be holding a Concealed Carry
Class at The Clendenin Recreation Center the first
Saturday in April and the cost will be 35.00 dollars.
The class will be limited to 15 people so call Town
Hall for more information. Remember if you are 18
to 21 or if you want to carry out of State you must
have a permit. We have a new Police Officer in
Clendenin and his name is Matt Queen, if you see
him on the street please welcome him and let him
know what a Friendly Town Clendenin really is. As
always if you have a question or concern give us a
call.

THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS OF LIFETIME EXPERIENCES
BY JULIET RHODES LYNCH
Part II
The experiences of Emotions when you have had a breakdown of
things in your life, and have prayed and wept til your body hurts with
weakness. The core of this action seems as if your last breath is the only
thing that can release you from this feeling. Then all of a sudden your
whole body relaxes and a great calm comes over you. The hurt and
weakness gone and tears stop. THE SPIRIT OF GOD HAS HEARD
YOUR PRAYERS AND GIVEN YOU PEACE. Feelings, come when
you find that things in your life, are starting to become a surprise of
good events and happiness. Feelings come when you have helped others and you know, you have made a difference. The emotions come when people show
there caring ways to you and when you are thanked for your making the difference in other
people’s lives. Have you ever walked away from a good experience and all of a sudden
felt your heart beat a little faster and a deep warmth coming over you? Then unexplainable
tears fall down your cheeks. That is emotions left over from feelings. Wow the complex
human nature is something that we don’t always own by ourselves. I have come to the
understanding of humanness in animals. Not just a CAT, DOG, OR other animals. They
are not dumb. They are smart and at times are more loving and good at being more human
than humans. They take care of other animals’ young. They will stay with them when hurt
or ill, til other help comes, or they can get you help. They love you unconditionally. They
know if you are a bad person with evil intent. They are knowledgeable beyond understanding in the sense that they will be friends with animals that are not of their species.
They will love and take care of each other and will mourn if one dies, either of their species or even another. Feelings and Emotions are an intricate part of our lives.
God’s , EMOTIONS WERE A PART OF SAVING US , DYING FOR US AND HANGING ON A CROSS FOR US. HOW DO WE REPAY HIM WITH OUR LOVE,
PRAISES, FELLOWSHIP, PRAYERS, FOR HAVING FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS
FOR EVERY ONE OF US AND MAKING US HIS CHILDREN. CAN YOU EMAGINE
THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THAT WILL COME UPON US,WHEN WE SEE
JESUS , OUR LORD AND SAVIOR TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER.
