"Take kindly the gift - your life in time. Ponder the beauty within you, and know you were made with care. Consider the wonder of the world around and pray to understand your purpose. Give of your gift to others with courage and love deeply, for in loving is your spirit's treasure. Forgive those who may render you pain, being forbearing in your justice and generous in mercy, for in grace are the secrets of peace. And do not become bitter at the trials of life that confront you, for with wisdom they will strengthen you, that you may know love and find joy, the dream of your Maker and peace." © David Kreider

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." St Francis of Assisi

"To laugh often and love much; to have won the esteem of the intelligent and the affection of children; to have earned the trust of the prudent and weathered tragedy with grace; to have found in suffering a kinship with humankind; to appreciate beauty; to inspire the best in others; to have endowed your spirit's treasure whether in loving a child, lifting a burden, or redeeming an ill; to have given without interest of gratitude; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has tasted joy because you have lived." variation from Ralph Waldo Emerson

"You have given me so much...when you believed in me, and loved me for who I am, and did not judge me, or use me, or try to change me to suit yourself. You listened and helped me hear myself. When I just needed you there, when words were useless, you understood. You held my hopes, my fears, and my regrets and I felt safe and loved and strengthened for confiding in you. You gave me laughter and filled my world with your spirit and made me feel appreciated and enjoyed. You have given me reason to embrace life; happiness, the precious precious gift of your friendship, your love, your beauty, and my better self. You" © David Kreider

"When you were an infant I loved you and out of the darkness I called you my child. It was I who taught you to walk and I took you up in my arms but you did not know that I comforted you. I led you with cords of kindness, with bands of love. I was to you a mother who lifts her infant to her cheek. I bent down to you and fed you. How shall I ever give you up? My passion is kindled warm and tender for it is I who gave you life and my spirit is ever with you. Return to me, child, that I may keep you and hold what is good. I will renew your spirit and love you freely. You will flourish, your beauty will blossom, and your fragrance go forth as wine." Hosea selections from 11:1-9, 14:1-7 paraphrased

The serene beauty of a Shenandoah Valley woodland as winter gives way to spring. Dotting the forest floor, the scattered orange-yellow blossoms of witch hazel touch the world with color.

A striking windblown tree casts its silhouette against the warm sky.
