I remember! I also remember getting to put our own little valentines in envelopes and sending them to whomever we wanted to. I do not remember what young grade that was. That was when we could address to boys and girls. And if there was a little boy we “liked”, we would be sure to send one to him. Does anyone remember that?

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone.

Bright sunshine this morning. Shooting for a high of 68 degrees. Looks like a good day to work in the yard followed by a long soak in the hot tub.

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

Thank you, yorkie. I like chocolates no matter what kind! Those hearts are supposed to be moving along the bottom but they have stopped here on my puter!

[yorkie]

The are floating upward, on my computer. Maybe rebooting would help. I love the way they float up like little pink balloons!

Thank you, Conor, for Amazing Grace and the Navy Hymn.
Amen to your prayer for Our Troops.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

I’ve refreshed but not re-booted. I will try that in a moment...getting lunch now!

[MEG33]

Passing around the candy!

It's time for lunch and a nap.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
