And when the home is filled with love you'll always find God spoken of

So every year when Christmas comes, I realize a new, the best gift life can offer is having friends like you.

Today be happy with what you have - not discontent with what you don't have.

A mother's love is like an island, In life's ocean vast and wide, A peaceful, quiet shelter, From the restless, rising tide.

May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought... For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side. When memory paints in colors true, the happy hours that belonged to you.

Stop wishing for things you complain you have not, and start making the best of all that you've got.

God grant me courage and hope for everyday, faith to guide me along my way, understanding and wisdom, too, and grace to accept what life gives me to do.
