CHAPTER 5, PAGE 28

One gift, above all others

God gives to us to treasure

One that knows no time, no place

And one gold cannot measure

The precious, poignant tender gift

Of Memory......that will keep

Our dear ones ever in our hearts

Although God gives them sleep

It brings back long remembered things

A song, a word, a smile

And the world's a better place ... because

We had them for awhile!

GOOD MORNING !

Memorial Day is here. And in addition to honoring the sacrifices of our nation's veterans, the final Monday in May also heralds the unofficial beginning of summer.

This month, we will have the first Blue Moon in nearly two years. On May 31st look to the sky and see if you can see any blue around the second full moon of the month. Chances are you won't, but maybe we should use this "once in a blue moon" to do something we’ve been meaning to do, but have yet to get to.

In just a few short weeks, summer will really be here. The time seems to be flying by now that the nice weather has arrived.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

love leaves a memory no one can steal.

From a headstone in Ireland

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

MA
