         Election Day came and for many it was a relief to get it over with and now I hope we will all pray for our leaders to persevere for peace and good will.  

  I want to believe we can have strength and kindness (grace) together; I hope you will too.  Think of the majestic trees around our nation, the Redwood, the Lodgepole pine, Blue spruce and Maple trees in the east, they are strong, and stoic by nature and stature, yet they're beautiful.  Their limbs and leaves and by-product are their kind or graceful features, (that would be us or "we the people"), we are the ones that need to do the work of serving others with kindness, whether we are a teacher, nurse, construction worker, or community worker, just a smile towards others is all we need to begin.

"As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."
PROVERBS 27:19

O God, You have given me so much;
I ask for one more blessing--a grateful heart. Amen

          Having a quiet time each day to count your blessings is essential to your daily bread.  Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday, always great family time and delicious food, but even more valuable is the time to be still, silent, and thankful for all of our blessings.
        I will also be saying a prayer for America this November and I'm sure you all will be too.
