And Joy Comes In The Morning...

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

I've been working myself into a depression verging on panic but determined not to let it be when I saw your OP..

I find pics like this very uplifting..

Here's my contribution: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14, NIV

How privileged we are to have a President who truly cares about us all--especially the children, who are our future.

Blessings.

There are so very many people that are in pain and scared to death that the Republicans plan to make Americans pay once again.

They want control and they do not give a damn who they take down. They are on a search and destroy mission. Guess what, all our lives are at stake here. We are trying to have one moment of joy. I ask you not to degrade that.

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Not ever~

Not ever.

of President Obama talking about one of his favorite paintings, the Victorian "Hope" where a lady lies blindfolded, a one-string harp in her hands, and she still clings to that one string. Wish I could describe it better, but it's been awhile since I saw it. Great painting, though.
