Hallowed by thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
~ Matthew 6:9-13 ~

what an amazing photo! I love your quotes, sooo true, all of them. Hope things are going well for you. I haven't spent much time blogging and I need to go back and catch up on yours and others. God bless you!
Great quotes and thank you so much for your kind comment and visit to my blog.
"Licking honey off a thorn" – I like that! So sorry I haven't been by – I'm getting ready for surgery and have been keeping things to a minimum – your quotes, well, I so enjoyed them!
A sweet way to honor those important dads in our lives.
We don't celebrate Father's day here, but I think it's a very good idea! I am very thankful to God for fathers! :o)
thank you for blessing us with this thoughtful post. . . your prayers are appreciated!

future of the world. . ."
Have a GREAT Week

Of course The Lords Prayer is my favorite, but Clarence Budington Kelland has wise words, too! We can talk all we want, but it's the living that really teaches.
Thanks for sharing all these terrific quotes, Sandra!
Awesome photograph and awesome quotes! Thank you for sharing them, sweet Sandra!
I love it! We're not raising grass; we're raising boys!
Happy Sunday, dear Sandra!
Yes, that photo it awesome, Sandra.
Love all your quotes but most of all the Lord's Prayer.
Know you are in my heart today & always, Sandra.
TTFN ~
Hugs of love,

Hello Sandra:
This is the first Fathers' Day that we have had without either of our fathers and so this is a particularly poignant occasion. We are, of course,reminded so wonderfully by you, dearest Sandra that we do have the blessing of a Father in Heaven.
You are so kind to keep our names on your prayer. We feel blessed to have had many prayers answered but we do so appreciate the comfort of knowing that you keep us close in your heart as, of course, we do for you.
Oh my goodness! Did you take this picture? How did you do it? Amazing.
