"There is in this world no function more important than that of charming. To shed joy, to radiate happiness, to cast light upon dark days, to be the golden thread of our destiny, the spirit of grace and harmony, is not this to render a service?"
~Victor Hugo
It's a --- blessing for us not many Yankees have seen country like this, or they'd move in on us worse than Sherman." Zelma Cason, in Cross Creek, written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
IRISH PRAYER
Said in the morning when rising...Christ be with me, be after me, be before me, and be at my right and left hand. May everything I do be for Christ.
"Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again." ~Sarah Ban Breathnach~
Were there no God,
we would be in this glorious world
with grateful hearts, and no one to thank.

~Classics For Childhood:
No longer online. The late Rebecca Bernhard’s lovely site for children’s tea, books, dolls and much more. Sadly, I am just now finding out that my friend, Rebecca Ann Bernhard of Colorado Springs passed away on December 10th, 2009. She was 49 years old and passed after a yearlong battle with cancer....She was a member of my Feminine Ways Yahoo group until she got sick earlier in 2008. I have tried to find out about her for a couple of years now, and feared this.

A Child
They are idols of hearts and households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses;
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oh those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild,
And I know now how Jesus could liken,
the Kingdom of God to a child.
~ Charles Dickens ~
