Sweetheart By: Jane E. B. Fry
She called him her “sweetheart”. He looked at her with warm,
soft admiring blue eyes as she visited with her friends.
He was obviously patient and protective as he stood between
her and the street. Instead of gazing at attractive passerby's he
also showed his loyalty. My, my, what great traits in her sweet-
heart.
As he moved just a bit his long, lustrous hair ever so slightly
brushed the fabric in her attire, his affection for her was dis-
played. Yes, he’s her sweetheart– let the ways of sweet good-
ness be counted.
Faithful Hardworking Loyal Protective
Admiring Affectionate Patient
Yes, it’s easy to see why she called her Australian Shepard a
“sweetheart”.

Winter Safety Awareness- Tips For Fall Prevention Bundle up, but make sure you can see in all directions and move easily.
Wear sturdy shoes or boots with tread.
Light stretching before you venture out will make you more physically able to prevent a fall.
Carry a small bag of salt, sand, or kitty litter in your pocket or purse to sprinkle in front of you for
traction on icy paths.
Avoid walking on surfaces that may be icy if you can. If you can't, slow down and shorten your stride.
Snow can hide curbs and uneven surfaces. If you can't see where your foot will land, find another way.
Replace worn rubber tips on canes, walkers and crutches.
Dry off shoes, canes, crutches, and walkers as soon as you get indoors.
If you are going out alone, carry a cell phone; know who you will call if you fall.
Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, which can affect your balance.
Wear sunglasses to reduce glare from the sun and snow.
Carry a cleaning cloth and stop immediately to clean your glasses if they fog up.
Ask your post office, newspaper, and garbage collector about service options that might make it safer
for you when conditions are bad.

Valentines is a time when we think of that special person whom we so highly regard and we want to pick out that special card or gift just for them. Have you ever thought about who your favorite person at Green Hills is? If you are stuck and cannot decide who your favorite all time personality at Green Hills is, I am here to help. Because there is actually a numeric formula you can use that will identify your favorite, I mean all time favorite person here at Green Hills.
Here it is: Pick your favorite number between 1-9. Multiply that number by 3. Add 3, then again multiply by three. You’ll get a 2 or three digit number, add the digits together. Now from this list of 10 names you’ll be able to identify your favorite person at Green Hills. PS. Don't forget to send them a special Valentines Day card.

They say confession is good for the soul. So, I will confess. No matter what number you start with, the answer is always 9.
Love is the universal topic of writers, poets and singers. Elvis sang, “I can’t help falling in love with you.” Tina Turner sings, “What’s love got to do with it.”
We tell our beloved how we would climb high mountains to be near them, swim wide oceans, cross deserts in the burning heat of day, and even sit at their window and sing love songs to them in the moonlight; but when it comes to doing the dishes, all of sudden, we’ve been on our feet too long today and can’t quite muster up enough gusto to knock those dishes out.
Bill Cosby says, "Grandparents are the biggest hypocrites in the world. There is just no way that the grandparents of my children could be the same parents who raised me, because they are so very different."
In all seriousness, the greatest valentine we can ever receive is found in the words of John 3:16.
For God so loVed the world, That he gAve His onLy BegottEn SoN That whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not perish, But have Everlasting life.
Enjoy God’s Valentine to you. Not just one day of the year, but each and every day.
Pastor Ken Neighoff Chaplain
