After a very long absence I am here, at least for today.  It has been so hot that not much is getting accomplished here at Prairie Star Farm.  However, today we had a break from the heat, rain fell and cooled us off.  My husband also attended the funeral a good friend today, so I guess the rain was fitting.  He brought home the program for me to read, the following poem was inside.

Thou are my own, my darling and my wife;
And when we pass into another life,
Still thou are mine,
All this which now we see
Is but the childhood of Eternity.

I paused to think how brief this life is and how we should appreciate who and what we have in our lives on this earth.  And to remember, we are building our relationships for eternity.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you..."  John 14:27
