I guess I should have attached some music to this, maybe Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major (one of my favorites). Or, we can all just "attach" whatever music we like and hum along.
Later, friends! Hugs all around!

(My Daughter-in-Law had Pachebel’s Canon played at the wedding ceremony with my son.....to please her new Mother-in-Law.)
Thank you so much, yorkie. That is one of the most beautiful versions I’ve heard and a perfect wedding piece. I wish I’d had it played at my wedding, but at 19 my music appreciation was entirely and sadly lacking. At the time I didn’t know a canon from a cannon. LOL. ;-)
Here's an angel sent to dust you with Angel Sprinkles!
(I am sure everyone has seen this
as have over 42 million people,
But my screen gets all blurry everytime I watch it!)
Beautiful!
I wish ALL of our FReeper FRiends could have been there!
((((((HUGS)))))))
Wonderful!
((((HUGS))))

If you like growing pumpkins, you have probably heard of Dills Atlantic Giant variety of premium pumpkin seeds. Developed on a family farm in Atlantic Canada, the pumpkins grown from these seeds have set records around the world. In 2011, a pumpkin grown in Quebec set a new world record at 1,818.5 pounds (825 kg). That size of pumpkin could yield almost 1,000 pieces of pie!
When news reporters asked how this pumpkin could grow to such a size, the farmer replied that it had to do with the soil. The seeds were of a special large variety, but the soil still had to be right or the pumpkin wouldnt grow properly.
The Lord Jesus used an illustration in which He compared different types of ground to a persons response to Gods Word (Matt. 13). Some seeds were eaten by the birds, others started to grow but were choked by the weeds, and some grew up instantly but had no soil to further their growth. But the seeds that fell on the good soil yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (v.8).
Each of us needs to ask, What kind of soil am I? The Lord wants to plant His Word in our hearts so we can grow in our knowledge of Him.
Read: Matthew 13:1-9
The quote, from Joe McGee, FAITH FOR FAMILIES” Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“leave everyone better ... than when you found them!”
I believe this is a great principle to guide and live by ...
A genuine smile and a few kind words, or words of wisdom from our LORD. etc.
I hope I have the date right
Yes you have the date right! Thanks so much!!
Years ago, I asked fifth-grade students to prepare a list of questions to ask Jesus if He were to show up in person the following week. I also asked groups of adults to do the same thing. The results were startlingly different. The kids questions ranged from adorable to poignant: Will we have to sit around in robes and sing all day in heaven? Will my puppy be in heaven? Were the whales in or out of the ark? Hows my grandpa doing up there with You? Almost without fail, their questions were free from doubt that heaven existed or that God acts supernaturally.
Adults, on the other hand, featured a completely different line of questioning: Why do bad things happen to good people? How do I know Youre listening to my prayers? Why is there only one way to heaven? How could a loving God let this tragedy happen to me?
For the most part, children live life unfettered by the cares and sorrows that burden adults. Their faith lets them trust God more readily. While we adults often get lost in trials and sorrows, children retain the psalmists view of lifean eternal perspective that sees the greatness of God (Ps. 8:1-2).
God can be trusted, and He longs for us to trust Him the way children do (Matt. 18:3).
