Honesty

One of my favorite quotes that I have on the wall at home is, "I have no greater joy, than to hear that my children walk in truth."  John 3:4.

I have been blessed to share the role of mother with many children.  That number continues to grow.

Each part of life has its own truth.  I hope we each have learned to focus on all the good things.

There are many changes in life.  There is room to love many people.

Relationships matter.  So talk to each other, cherish each other, and have fun together.

We each have a place in each other's lives.

We are blessed with rich and abundant relationships.

                              There have been many good things in my life.

When one door closes, another one opens.

May we each have the courage to face our challenges honestly.

"He who bends himself a joy

doth the wing-ed life destroy.

He who kisses joy as it flies,

Lives forever in eternity's sunrise."

William Blake
