This was just ! beautiful!<br />Very well said, and so true.<br />You will be blessed beyond when you give yourself in way of volunteering with the elderly. There is great joy found there. I work with a senior group and enjoy just loving on them! They are precious indeed.<br />I have enjoyed my visit here, Susan.<br />Have a blessed day!<br />Joy!

I am finding my lists are of things I want to buy for my house or jobs that need to be done around it. I have been forgetting what is important in life and how short our lives really are. I plan to balance my life much better than I have been as it really is out of balance.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Lee :)Lee Caroline - A World of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775174736286159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-68196152034056486432014-06-25T15:44:46.360-07:002014-06-25T15:44:46.360-07:00You know they say that the purpose of education is...You know they say that the purpose of education is to find your gifts....and the purpose of adulthood is to share them.

I too will be joining you ( well, okay not physically!) and begin sharing my time, talents and treasure with the elderly.

Both stunning homes.<br /><br />A few days later while in Mexico, a young woman saw me holding my baby son, said she had a son about the same age, and invited me to her home to meet him. I'll never forget the experience. As I entered her home, I was welcomed with the most warm and generous smiles I've ever seen. Their home was small. Their home was poor. But it was the most gracious and loving home I have ever been invited in to, because of the people that lived there.<br /><br />So happy to have met you via Susan's blog. I'm a new follower...<br /><br />~ LinLin from A {tiny} Cottage In The Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852855396042947932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-1941074743786918192014-06-21T21:15:19.302-07:002014-06-21T21:15:19.302-07:00God Bless you, that is such a wonderful post, and ...God Bless you, that is such a wonderful post, and so true.
