“Everything I know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark.”
ONE: Don’t miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
FIVE: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE: When you’re stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are at Peace with the Universe, there’s always a rainbow waiting.Please pass this on to people you want to be blessed.
Give it! Don’t just get it!Most people walk in and out of your life,
But FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.

Fun post ~~ Happy New Year to you and Gypsy!!

Thanks, Jamie (:
How marvelous this is!
If you get tired of cleaning and caring for others, be ready to swim for a long time.
Learn to accept and love your neighbors,
Keep a sense of humor. Your new friends aren’t used to you either.
Unless you can walk on water, stay in the boat.
When you get out of the situation you’re in, don’t lose touch with your friends.
Although things got rough you made it through. Give thanks.
Future problems will seem more like puddles.
Ah…such a perfect way to start the new year…solid advice.
Priceless… and timeless!
Applicable to all ages, too…
Smiles. So true, all of them!
Oh yeah…you go baby girl..all my southern outside rescued cats say, Meyaw…come back now…soon, With Some More Food,,, Beanie and Dumplin, Well, they tend to dominate the house…But, at least Dumplin has a very generous heart….which is why her Daddy Beanie is even allowed in the house….You know what I’m talkin about….I think…Never seen a pair like these myself to be honest…
Happy New Year
God Bless You

This is super advice, Jamie! Thank you for posting this!
I certainly love this one, Jamie. My youngest son I named Noah so this story has a special place in my heart. Thank You!
I am back to visiting and reading, glad to start my journey at “Musings by moonlight” with this cheerful, hopeful post. Lovely message!
Always loved that story of Noah and the ark. I love the eleven lessons…wise indeed.
Love and Light Jamie.
So much wisdom in eleven sentences. Thanks for sharing.
Trust one puss cat to be this wise!
Ha! Yup! That’s the Gypster all right. Wise!
Especially right after she has her ears cleaned, which is when this pic was taken.
