Sorry this is short but my hubby came home today and it is still taking my time to care for him after his stroke. I'll try and do better next time. Thank you all for you prayers and good wishes.This quote really hit home for me this week.

Henry Spencer Moore was born in England and died there died in 1986 . He was a sculptor of large scaled bronze abstracts and huge carved marble statues. During the end of his life he became exceptionally wealthy but taxes were eating him up, so with his daughter's help he formed a foundation as an endowment for promoting the arts and to supporting education. Amazingly, in 1951 he turned down a knighthood from the queen but was later given the Order of Merit and other honors.

"One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it."

    I'm so sorry I missed out that your husband had had a stroke. I'll be praying for him, and you, because I know this is going to be really hard for you. Funny thing about Henry Moore. A man by the same name ran a local grocery store when we were first married, and my husband worked three nights a week for him, in addition to his one day with the Post Office, for a while after we married.
