Kids in Orphange

One time I went to an orphanage in South America because I was on a cruise. We stopped by an orphanage. There was one girl who followed me. She was so cute! We handed out toys to them and medicine. That one girl asked me if my parents died too. I felt sorry for her. This is a picture of the kids in the orphanage.

Present for the King

This story is dedicated to all the loving Daily Lilies

On one Christmas season in a small village the people were getting ready to
present their presents before the king. Presents had been sought from the four
corners of the earth. Nothing could be spared for such a royal occasion. The

The presents were lavishly decorated. The colors were of a kingly nature –

Master of the Garden by Rena

He walked the paths of the garden daily and talked and prayed over his flowers. As he talked to them they grew in excellence turning their heads to the sun as if breathing in the very Sun. They were so glad to be alive in this garden that if they had not been attached to the ground, they would have danced before the Master of the garden

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

True peace and love can only be achieved through forgiveness–
forgiveness of oneself and everyone else.

what is forgiveness?

To forgive means to express understanding for what happened —
what was done or not done to you. Forgiveness involves letting go of
the suffering and pain, the hurt and fear. It involves releasing the

We often think that by not forgiving people that we will teach
them a lesson, punishing them for their wicked ways. This is not
so. The only person who suffers is the one who holds the grudge and
allows the blame, shame, hatred, bitterness or revenge to fill them
up and poison the mind and body.
