Memories

I came across this old clip of Mr. Rogers and I was struck by his kindness.  Mr. Rogers was my favorite TV personnel as a young child, and this video only re-establishes my feelings.  We all need a little kindness and understanding once in a while, and Mr. Rogers’ message reminds us all of this. 

Have a good weekend, all!

Knowledge

Hey All,

I’m back from my foray to upstate New York, and what fun it was!  I’m glad to be back home, though, enjoying the last of the summer days. 

I was away for over two weeks at a Mennonite home, and I must admit, I came home with an entirely new perspective on life itself.  It’s not the daily things that are important—it’s the connections we make on a deeper, human level that count the most.  When everything is said and done, it is what we will remember all the rest of our lives.  I wanted to share my newly found wisdom with you today.

Have a great weekend, all!

Birthday Blessings

I wanted to thank everyone who made my day so special last weekend.  As you may not know, I spent the weekend in upstate New York to celebrate my birthday.  I not only had a special day; my whole long weekend was perfect!  In fact, I think I’m still recovering from my experience.  However, someone gave me a card with a psalm, reminding me that I’m forever protected by His everlasting love.  When life gives me trials, I always think of this and it bolsters me to face challenges with resolve, yet I have the knowledge that I rest under His wing.  That’s the best gift, I think—to remember that.

Hide me

under the shadow

of thy wings.

            Psalm 17:8

Have a good weekend, everyone!
