Life's Simplest Things

 "Life's simplest things are love, and kindly

friends,

Nature's sweet charm of earth and sea

and sky;

Gladness of soul that with right living

blends--

Home's dear content, so cheap that all

may buy." ~ Ripley D. Saunders 

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy...." -Matthew 6:19
 

Leaving Port in a Troubled Period

  "You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period. You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do. But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset, and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly? He knows the shoals and the sand banks, the rocks and the reefs, He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity. Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe." ~ Peter Marshall
