BE HAPPY

"Don't worry. Be happy" I'm sure everyone has heard that song on the radio at one time or another. But I wonder if we ask ourselves, "Are we happy?" I don't mean that we should be constantly ecstatic or exuberant, but HAPPY full of that deep down inner contentment which persists even in the midst of trials and tribulations?

Because we are the children of God, God is concerned and cares for us. Whatever our real needs, we can rest assured that God will fulfill them, albeit in His own time and accordance with His will. But we can live in thankfulness to God. We can allow His presence and peace to make us serene and secure in our relationship with Him. Whether we are rich or poor, on the mountain or in a deep valley, experience gladness and good health or sorrow and pain, He is walking beside us, helping us along our way. We are forever, and can celebrate our identity, as His sons and daughters.

CAPT John W. Morrison, CHC, USN

Good evening, Kathy! Not a bad day - I've been fighting a respiratory infection for the last week - couldn't do to the Doc because of the work deadline. After the project ended yesterday afternoon I went straight to the Dr. - I'm on Levaquin - it appears to be working.

Flowers are doing well:

Hemerocallis "Stella de Oro"
My Front Garden - 8 June 2013



Common Stonecrop - My Front Garden

Hello, Mary Lou.....

Cute, Publius....and it just fits. LOL!

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours. Hope you are having a nice weekend. How's the weather?

[ConorMacNessa]

Holy Moley! That one takes me all the way back! When I was nine years old the first 45 I ever purchased was "Poor Little Fool" - IIRC "I'm Walking" was on the flip side - but things grow faint.

I'd give up all the technological advances - the PC's, the Smartphones, and everything else if we could ever get back to the way it was in this Nation in the time of my youth.

Lots of bad things back then, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was the President of the United States and we were secure without surrendering our Constitutional Rights.

Some may say that we need to find a "balance" between Freedom and Security. They are dead wrong! My ancestors came here for Freedom - they had enough of "security" at the sufferance of lords and potentates.

Patrick Henry said it all in the magnificent peroration to his address to the House of Burgesses 23rd March 1775:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

That speech was my declamation in High School debate. It formed my character, and like many things I learned over a half-century ago, it has stayed with me, and will until I die.

I know it may seem to some that I have wandered far afield from "Hello Mary Lou." I think not. I won't go on at this time, but I believe all here know where I stand.

I have no fortune to leave to my children - only the example I have carried from the seniors of my family to those I leave behind.

I have no graphic ready this evening to bid adieu. They are here - they gather here to watch over us from above. They are our Grandfathers, Grandmothers, Aunts, Uncles, Fathers, Mothers, Brothers and Sisters. They are the Friends of our childhood who are no longer with us. They are our Sons and Daughters, our Nieces and Nephews - All of whom have kept Faith with us and with our Nation.

In this time of crisis, when our Constitutional Freedoms are under attack as never before, I raise my prayers for our Valiant Troops, who hazard all for Freedom. I raise my prayers for all here - who stand for them. I raise my prayers for the United States of America - the Beacon of Freedom.
