Mildred, I fear for our country and our children.
Deb, your children were put on the prayer list, hope things are better.
Karen, all is well, thanks.
Diana, the power a praying mother gives her children can't be calculated this side of the veil.
Carol, how nice to see you again, welcome.
Dianna, that was a great quote it does produce responsible adults and citizens.
"It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings." ~ Ann Landers ~ …This quote in particular stuck out to me as I read down over them. I think it is because it is basically the way we raised our children and now they are responsible adults, raising their own children in the same fashion. Thanks so much for sharing!
Very inspiring post and creative photo ~ carol ^_^

Hello on Sunday, Sandra! I hope all is well at the farm.
I love these quotes and they turn my heart to my own children and grandchildren. Thank you so much for sharing. Please pray for my son Joshua who is a senior in high school that he will make good decisions about his future and my granddaughter Emily who has Juvenile Arthritis. Thank you.
I have a great niece in Calif. who will turn one in Jan. She is growing up in such different times than we did.
Keeping you in my heart and prayers. Enjoy your day.
