Ecclesiastes 1:   … vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!

Colossians 3:  Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.

Luke 12:  Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

Could this be a case of child kidnapping???

 

 

True?

 

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,

"How old was your husband?"

"98," she replied: "Two years older than me"

"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.

She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?"

 

 

 

 

I think so!  Is that a funny man, Atlas?

 

 

See you Sunday.

Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Amen
