I love violet’s! When I was a little child growing up in Yonkers near the Hudson River, I would walk in the woods with my mother and pick a basket-full of wild and dainty violets. I hope you enjoy this poem by Father Fabre which my mother taught me so many years ago. To this day, it reminds me that God is everywhere, especially in the simple, yet magnificent violet.
I see Thee in the distant blue,
But in the violet’s dell of dew,
Behold! I breathe and touch Thee too!
As you gaze at this photo, what do you hear God saying to YOU?

Heart to Heart Ministry…on the road…
…giving out ministry magnets at Barney’s Service Station
…great service
…gives a bill with a smile
…a place where joy and kindness are shared.

Heart to Heart. For sure.
When I pass the station…I honk and wave a prayer. They wave a prayer back.
We are each called by Jesus to be…
Love
Kindness
Charity
Peace
Forgiveness
Compassion
Let us strive each day this month…
…to pray 10 minutes with Jesus quietly
…to reach out to others with a kind word or deed
…to sow the sunshine of peace everywhere we go by…
…to listen with our heart… really listen
…to accept differences with deep respect
…to have a cheerful spirit
Let us look up each day…
…to the morning sunrise with great joy
…to the evening sunset with great gratitude
