Children

in the archer's hand be for gladness: For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is
stable. Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet

treasures hide in the sand.

Sea-3 You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear
how how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.
SL-8 All good things do not come too easily and must perpetually be fought for. Our test is in our love, and our
willingness to do battle for it. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Anniversary, Love, and Marriage

trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13; 4-8

you.
