We are anticipating the birthof our newest grandbaby on Monday. Prayers for a safe birth are appreciated. Our daughter in law is being induced. She’s high risk and has been closelymonitored. I’m nervous but excited.
Dreams do come true. You just might have to take a few detours to arriveat rainbow’s end. Unfurl your sails and followa fresh wind.

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." Mother Teresa

“No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth,
and no culture comparable to that of the garden.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
