The heart is a love storage. The Lord is the supplier.

I shall remember them with much love - a life of joy

We cannot choose our relatives but we can, our friends. After the passing of so many years, with many experiences along the way, how wonderful it is to recall fond memories of days gone by spent with friends with whom one had shared moments at play and at work.

Birthdays, meetings, field trips, provide reasons to pose and project the joy in our hearts through the glow in our eyes, the smile on our lips that will always be there to show the love that friendship can bring. Looking at the picture, the mind rolls out scenes that will surely brings tears of love which the Lord has stored in our hearts.

God of beauty and of love, bless our friends.

Thank you for helping me be one.

Thank you for calling me a friend.

Thank you for coming to me

through the love of a friend -

the love of many friends.

Wealth and fame may pass away

Faithful friends abide all way.

Thru the world I'd gladly go,

If one faithful friend I know.

Faith is belief in what you do not see and having a firm conviction in what you believe. Love God with all your heart with all your mind and with all your soul. Trust God.

The good Lord in His infinite wisdom and immesurable love answers prayers.

How can one who has lost the means to reach out to others to share the good news? God will make a way --

Two fine ladies came to make the day for me and interviewed me on the conditions of life for the senior citizen: sharing of minds and exchange of views resulted with joy for us all.
