On Mankind

Andy put up a quote about Charity which I liked very much and thought what a good idea! So I've decided to put up one of my own. I always enjoy those short quotes which leave you something to think about. Here's one that I like:
To be rich in admiration and free from envy; to rejoice greatly in the good of others; to love with such generousity of heart that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness- these are the gifts of fortune which money cannot buy and without which money can buy nothing.
He who has such a treasury of riches, being happy and valiant himself, in his own nature, will enjoy the universe as if it were his own estate; and help the man to whom he lends a hand to enjoy it with him.
-Robert Louis Stevenson

These attributes describe you and your mom exactly. You both are so lavishing in praise to us and everyone about you. You are remembered for these qualities every day in my thoughts of you. Thank you for all the encouragement you have given our family!!!

Carol,

May our Lord and Savior be praised! For those who really know us, know our hearts desire is to bless everyone we meet, encourage them and help them grow in Christ.
That is not always an easy task but it has been with your family!!
You all walk in such humility and Christ's love with such teachable hearts. I believe that is why you have such a wonderful family and homechurch.

We know any encouragement you received from us came from Christ alone working His plan out in all our lives.
