The Willow and The Cactus!!

I saw a willow by a stream;
A cactus in the desert sand;
Each glorified it's maker, God,
Because it grew where He had planned.
I saw each taken from its place
And planted where the other grew.
The cactus drowned, the willow burned,
The days of each were sad and few.
God gives us each a work to do
May we be wise enough to see,
That I cannot do yours for you,
And you cannot do mine for me.

Thinking of Them!

Had a letter from my sister today...they are in a rest home. Hope I can have a nice spirit like she does when that day comes. He is not so good. Enjoyed what she mentioned, "It is not the years that count, but what we put into the years that will matter for eternity." They are so thankful for the G. story that came so many years ago. We think of them alot. Our love to them.
