And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, 'Speak to us of Children.'

And he said:

Your children are not your children.

How would this change what you choose to do with your life?

"A more peaceful way to live is to decide consciously which battles are worth fighting and which are better left alone. . . . Is it really important . . .

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If one could only learn to appreciate the little things...
A song that takes you away, for there are those who cannot hear.

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
God sends you a sunrise every morning.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days,
you would have produced
enough sound energy to heat up one cup of
coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista, CA.

The fields were parched and brown from lack of rain, and the crops lay wilting from thirst. People were anxious and irritable as they searched the sky for any sign of relief.
