My dear friend-
Thank you so much for this uplifting entry. I will borrow the Mark Twain quote from you to add to my FB page. Your quotes are always so thought provoking.
May your Sabbath be blessed.
I just have to share the quote from Sandburg on my Facebook. It really resonated with me this morning. Thanks dear friend for always giving me wonderful thought provoking, peace inspiring gems!
"A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night."
Psalm 90:4
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Now THAT is a time schedule I'll be happy to keep – time is fleeting in this life – some moments so sweet we want to make them last and some moments break our hearts – even those soon pass – Thank you Sandra – bless y'all this Sunday
Beautiful post for a beautiful Sabbath. Blessings, K
Hello Sandra and Dave:
