Featured Post Please Don’t Forget
Please don’t forget our troops who are risking their lives at this moment to preserve our safety here in the U.S.A. Regardless of how we may feel about the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must remember to let our troops know that we are still thinking about them and wish to help.

Christmas
As CHRISTmas soon approaches let your hearts be filled with JOY (Jesus-Others-Yourself). Not so filled with worry over getting that perfect toy. Remember the celebration of our Lord the infants birth. And keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas and your soul will fill with mirth. So as CHRISTmas soon approaches, remember this one thing… to always keep praise on your lips for Christ our Savior and King!!!

Circle of Mankind
Wouldn’t it be nice to see holding hand in hand, different races of the World, all from different lands… In peace and love, no hatred to be found, knowing that our destiny is always Heaven bound…
Wouldn’t it be nice to know there are no more wars to fight, because we stand united with God our strength and might… passing through our hands of love, compassion for each other, knowing that we truly are God’s sisters and His brothers…
Wouldn’t it be nice to hear kind words for our fellowman, though different in so many ways, can still hold hand in hand, with faith in God, who made this world just for us to live, and all he asks us in return, is all our love to give…
Wouldn’t it be nice to touch the hearts of all mankind, vanishing the hatred, and having peace of mind… with all our different customs, and our different ways, can learn to live together in harmony each day…
Wouldn’t it be nice to pray, as I do today, that peace on Earth will surely come, and God will lead the way….

Reaching Out

Below is a wonderful book which I received in the mail from a man in N.J. named Lawrence Danks. He wrote to me and explained that his sister lives near me here in Michigan and read a recent newspaper article about Be Kind to Humankind Week. Mr. Danks wrote a book about the benefits of being kind to others, and took the time to reach out to me and give me one of his books! I was so surprised and happy that Mr. Danks thought of me! I am reading his book now and I am enjoying it very much. If you would like to order his book (pictured below) you can find it on Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobles. What a kind thing to do Mr. Danks…Thank you so much!!!
My Kindness sent your way,

What Is Kindness
Kindness is a state of mind, Given by our Lord, Divine….
It’s helping others in simple ways, To lighten their burdens, and brighten their days…
It’s saying kind words direct from our hearts, for that is where the compassion starts…It’s lending a hand to a stranger or friend; It’s praying for someone at day’s end…
It’s feeding the hungry, sharing a smile, Walking with someone that extra mile…
It’s feeling their sorrow, sharing their pain, Knowing that sunshine follows the rain…
It’s generosity, good will, and love, Which generates from God above…Kindness is a virtue that not only gives, It’s a feeling of joy inside that lives…
For in sharing your love, your talents, and gifts, Brings peace to your mind, and your heart a lift…
Kindness is something we’re all capable of, If we open our hearts, and let out the love…Written By: Rae V. Harris | 11-10-2208
