I would like to share with you the most important things in life to me...
Home, Family, & Friends... All Nurtured With God's Love
By wisdom a house is built, and
through understanding it is established;
through knowledge it's rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.
Proverbs 24:3-4
Families are woven together with memories
and bound by a Mother's love.
Having a place to go is Home.
Having someone to love is Family.
Having special people in your life is Friends.
Having all three is a Blessing.
A REAL HOME
A REAL HOME is a playground. Beware of the house where no
rough-housing is allowed
and no cries of glee are heard.
A REAL HOME is a workshop. Pity the child who is unfamiliar with
wrenches and hammers, knitting
needles, thread, screwdrivers and saws.
A REAL HOME is a forum. Honest, open discussion of life's great
problems belongs originally
and primarily in the family circle.
A REAL HOME is a secret society. Loyalty to one's family should mean
keeping silent on things that
are the family's business and no one else's.
A REAL HOME is cooperative. Households flourish in peace when the
interest of each is the
interest of all.
A REAL HOME is a school. Many of life's most important and lasting
lessons are learned here,
both early in life and later on.
A REAL HOME is a temple, where people are loved and respected
and where life is appreciated, in the
recognition that life in all its parts is
a gift of God, with our family being our personal and most
precious gift.
Is your home, A REAL HOME?

GOD BLESS OUR HOME
You can purchase a house,
A home you cannot buy,
And the reason is obvious
If a person asks why.
A house is built of wood,
A home is built of love.
A house from earth arises.
A home comes from above.
People draw plans for houses.
A home is planned by Christ.
A house is very costly.
A home cannot be priced.
Where love and kindness dwell
A house of wood and stone
Is transformed, miracle-like,
By Christ into a home.
Perry Tanksley
If . . .
If a child lives with criticism,
He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
He learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame,
He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
He learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
He learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
He learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
He learns faith.
If a child lives with approval,
He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world.
Dorothy Law Nolte
When I Am An Old Woman
I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've
no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples
in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the
sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other
people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and a pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes
that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for
the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to
practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When
suddenly I am old and start to wear purple.
