Grandparents Day

Today is Grandparents Day! I Like the new holiday. I was very lucky to have 5 living grandmothers till age 16. My last grandmother passed away when I was 38. Photo of me @ age 8 with my grandmothers and great grandmothers.

Christian Quote of the Day, Children

What a mercy was it to us to have parents that prayed for us before they had us, as well as in our infancy when we could not pray for ourselves!
Flavel, John

Christian Quote of the Day Prayer

To pray is to grasp heaven in one's arms; to embrace the Deity within one's soul, and to feel one's body made a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Spurgeon, C. H.

Friendship and Life

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

FRIENDS

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

“I look at life as a gift of God.
Now that he wants it back
I have no right to complain.”

We are all ships returning home
laden with life's experience,
memories of work, good times and sorrows,
each with his special cargo;
And it is our common lot
to show the marks of the voyage,
here a shattered prow, there a patched rigging,
and every hulk turned black
by the unceasing batter of the restless wave.

May we be thankful for fair weather and smooth seas,
and in times of storm have the courage
and patience that mark every good mariner;
And, overall, may we have the cheering hope of joyful meetings,
as our ship at last drops anchor
in the still water of the eternal harbor.
