Friendship

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” Dinah Mulock Craik

Practicing the Presence of God

He is always near you and with you. Do not leave Him by Himself. You would think it uncivil to leave a friend by himself who was visiting you. Why abandon God and leave Him by Himself? ~Brother Lawrence

Mother Teresa Quote

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.

There's Gold in Them Maple Trees!

The weather was gorgeous on Wednesday, so we took off for an afternoon at Montour Preserve. They are still collecting sap at the Sugar Shack where we were able to walk through the woods to observe the tapped trees and the various methods used to collect the liquid gold.

We pulled the spiles from our trees yesterday and boiled down all the sap that we had collected this week. I was surprised at how much syrup we were able to reap from our last minute efforts.

Pancakes on Sunday!!!

Thoughtful Quote

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. ~Anne Frank
