let it be in my day,
that my child may have peace.

    It was with joy I read your sweet comment. You have been missed!

    As I watch our little ones play, I too pray, let the ‘trouble be in our day’ and not on their precious shoulders to bear.
    With a dear friend, father of four serving in Afganistan and others serving in Iraq, so much gratitude from my heart goes to them, to their families and ALL who are serving to keep our dear country free. We are praying for peace!

    Dear Muse, You truly are extraordinary! Thank You!

    Much Love to you!:-)
