2nd Sunday of Easter, April 16, 2023

ByRosemary

Acts of the Apostles 2:  They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people.

1 Peter 1:  Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him,…

John 20:  Have  you come to believe because you have seen me?  Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.

  • Vaccines!!

    ByRosemary

    Extra, Extra, I am seeing a Light at the end  of the tunnel!

     

    Rosemary & I got our vaccines today at the Fair Park Super Center.  I phoned John Cade, he raced down, and he and his mother in law got the vaccine, too.

     

    As of today you need no appointment.  Just be 75 or older & ID.  I will verify that you are all passed that age.

     

    It took us 1 hour waiting in the car to get in the Fair Park gate 5 check point.  Once in, it was really well organized and in 2 1/2 hours we walked out vaccinated.

    The easy & quick way to get there: 75 South, I30 East, look for the Ferris wheel on your right, and you are there.

     

    Rosemary & I wanted to pass the word as soon as possible.   Rosemary was given this tip yesterday afternoon, Wednesday by a neighbor.   No wonder we love this neighborhood!

    Happy Birthday today, Jan Keszler!

     

    Am I actually seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

    The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
     
    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
     
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.
     
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
     
    Robert Frost

     

    Have a Beautiful & Peace Filled New Year!

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Dust If You Must

    By Rose Milligan

    Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better

    To paint a picture, or write a letter,

    Bake a cake, or plant a seed,

    Ponder the difference between want and need?

     

    Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,

    With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;

    Music to hear, and books to read;

    Friends to cherish and life to lead.

     

    Dust if you must, but the world’s out there,

    With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair,

    A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,

    This day will not come around again.

     

    Dust if you must, but bear in mind,

    Old age will come and it’s not kind,

    And when you go(and go you must),

    You yourself, will make more dust.
