Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Mr. Ruggles was stopped by the police. As the officer was giving him a ticket, he noticed several penguins in the back seat.

"With these animals packed in like that, I should give you another ticket. Take them to the zoo," the officer told the man. A week later, the officer stopped the same car.

Seeing the penguins still in the back, he said, "didn't I tell you to take the penguins to the zoo last week?"

"Yes sir, and I did." the man told the officer.

"This week I'm taking them to the beach"

Favorite memory ...Nana’s sister got stuck at home, so we packed up Christmas dinner and drove 70 miles to take it to her and her family.

Sweet Words
December 21, 2012

Scott had always admired the relationship between Ken and Phyllis, his wife’s parents. So he asked them one day what made their marriage work. Ken replied, “You need to keep it sweet!”

A friend of mine concludes many of her notes to me and my husband and other friends with these words: “Remember to be good to each other.”

That’s great advice from both of them about being kind. The daily stresses of life can easily cause us to get irritable with our spouses or with others. We pick at the little annoyances or criticize minor habits. We blurt out harmful, unkind words without thinking.

The book of Proverbs gives us counsel about the words we use with others. It says, “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles” (21:23). And there are these warnings: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (18:21); and “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (12:18 niv). Ken’s advice about “keeping it sweet” reminds me of Proverbs 16:24, “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”

Lord, fill our hearts with words that will be a blessing to others today.

Instead of hurling angry words
That wound and stir up strife,
Use words of kindness, filled with love,
That heal and nourish life. —Sper

Kind hearts are the gardens; kind thoughts are the roots; kind words are the flowers; kind deeds are the fruits.

Read: Proverbs 16:19-24

Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering. —Colossians 3:12

That would have been my first guitar, 49 years ago. A HUGE arch-top Harmony from Sears with 1/4 action!

It took 47 years to get a Les paul, but it was worth the wait.
