Memorial Day 2016

The Gift--Remembering

     A gift was left on our porch.*

A beautiful reminder of the gift, the love, 

we celebrate today:

No one has greater love than this, 

to lay down one's life for one's friends.

                - John, Chapter 15

We thank God for all those men and women
who gave their life for us, in order that
we might enjoy the freedoms we have today.

And God bless all veterans
on this Memorial Day. . .
May they know we are grateful for their
brave service in keeping our country safe.


*Note: thank you, Sandee.

                                     

 

Mother's Day 2016

     who nurture Love in a child!

     mothers
     stepmothers
     aunts
     sisters
     teachers
     nuns/religious
     neighbors

     Anyone who creates a home for peace
     in the heart of a child, who shows by
     example the right road, who honors
     goodness as an example to be followed,
     who forgives ultimately with a hug.

     We think of these people today and give
     thanks that they have touched our lives.

     How about a text or email or phone call now?
