Happy Birthday!!!

Tomorrow is my mom and aunt's 83rd birthday. They were born March 10, 1927, the 3rd and 4th of 7 children; 2 boys and 5 girls. They both live in an assisted living facility in the community they grew up in.

We are blessed to have them with us.

Today's Nursery Rhyme

Pussy cat, pussy cat
wilt thou be mine? 
Thou shalt not wash dishes
nor yet feed the swine, 
but sit on a cushion 
and sew a fine seam
and feed upon strawberries, 
sugar and cream. 

I used to love this nursery rhyme as a kid. I told my dad that I wanted to "feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream" but I wasn't so keen on "sewing a fine seam". He assured me that such a life of luxury was unrealistic. I still don't like doing dishes (or sewing)!

O Lord, I Have Cried Out Unto Thee

I visited Byzantine Ramblings this morning and heard this Psalm (140).  It is such a heart felt prayer.


O Lord, I have cried out unto Thee.
Hear Thou me.
Hear Thou me O Lord.
Give ear to the voice of my supplication.
When I cry out unto Thee, hear Thou me O Lord.
Let my prayer be sent forth before Thee as the incense
and the lifting up of my hands
as the evening sacrifice.
