Let there be peace on earth...

Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
We can do it together.
One can of food at a time.
One smile at a time.
One good deed at a time.
One I love you at a time.
Miss you, dad.

Merry Christmas...what a lovely poem and I love the view in the door.

It has been a very rough time for me these last few weeks, as I lost my son, this time of year, I feel your pain. May He grant you peace.

I miss my Mom and Dad also. I can hardly wait to see them again. And yes we can do it together. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Because of His birth, we know of the Resurrection. Such joyous news.

What a beautiful simple Christmas photo. I love it. (You could write "Merry Christmas" on the wall and use it for a Christmas card.) And your poem, too. It's so true, it really doesn't take much to make our world a better place. If everyone did just a little each day.

Merry Christmas to you and your family from Me and Katie! :)

Rubye Jack said...

Did you guys finish building your house?

I read your comment about giving sack lunches and more to Phoenix's homeless and think it is a good thing to tell people about because it may serve as inspiration to others to do the same or something similar. You are certainly an inspiration to me to get out and help rather than just griping about it.

I hope you all had a great Christmas day. With love and caring,
Linda
