Inspiration for the day...

"With every breath you take,
breathe in the sweetness of everyday life;
the laughter of your children,
the pitter-patter of their feet,
the melody of their voices,
the sound of your husband's voice,
the strength of his arms,
the smell of clean clothes,
a clean house,
cooking,
the stillness of the night,
the warmth of each day."
-Candy Summers




I do not ask that Thou shouldst give me some high or noble task.
Give me a little hand to hold mine.
Give me a little child to point Thy way, over the strange,
sweet path that leads to You.
Give me a little voice to teach to pray.
Give me two shining eyes Thy face to see.
The only crown I ask to wear is this, that I may teach a little child.
I do not ask that I may stand among the wise,
the worthy, or the great;
I only ask that softly, hand-in-hand,
a child and I may enter at the gate.
