Valentine's Day

The monk Valentine was discouraged. It seemed to him that he had no special gift and could therefore do very little good. But his heart overflowed with love to God and his fellow men, and so the Spirit of God led him to do many little deeds of kindness in the friendliest spirit. He helped everyone he met. He loved to hang little gifts on cottage doors whenever a birthday came, and he was always giving to someone. On the good old monk's birthday we now send little tokens of remembrance to our friends.

Happy Birthday, Damaris!

It

seems     

as if we      

had just       

brought her         

home

from

the

hos-

pi-

tal,

yes-

ter-

day.

The time just flies!

  

But she has accomplished a lot; two bottom teeth, she can sit up, she can say "hi" and "uh-oh".... And if it is slow development, then we can have our baby a little longer!

Happy Birthday!... :)

Happy

Birthday,

 

Michael!

 

Birthdays are a joyful occasion. However, I tend to be more serious, and I have recently had a lot of thoughts of how fast time slips away. We must think of how we have spent our last years; have we spent it on idleness, things that waste away? Or have we spent it on things that are worthy, commendable, something for God?

 

Which direction should you take? Think on it.
