DECEMBER 2016 BEACON

AMessage From Chaplain Art Brooks…

During the last month, we received a message concerning PC Joe Cox. He had been hospitalized and diagnosed with cancer. Please keep Joe, Denise and their family in your prayers. Linda Pagel had knee surgery recently. Please keep these members and any others in distress in your thoughts and prayers, especially during this holiday season.

Seek and Ye Shall Find By Henry C. Doherty: Count your blessings at the close of day, Review your storehouse of gold.

The golden love of family and friends That rewards you with pleasure untold. Take time to visit your garden of blooms – In each there’s a message of love. The beautiful colors that brighten your day Can warm a heart like a glove. Enjoy your dreams as you glide in your swing, Travel back to yesteryear’s ways. Hold in your arms loves from the past, Back in your rapturous days. Kneel by your bed at the end of the day With your hands folded in prayer; Give thanks to the Lord for the blessings you know – Who else but He put them there? Our time is no more than the blink of the eye, Embrace it as it races by. Let every day shine to vie with the sun And glitter like stars in the sky. Today you stand by the side of the road Watching the masses pass by, Tomorrow, you’ll know the measure of time – You will have had your blink of the eye
