Merry Memory Monday! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's weekend. The Salesman took the teens to swim team practice on Valentine's Day for me while I put the finishing touches on a warm country lunch. Our piano tuner and his wife joined us around the table for lunch and lively conversation. Our piano tuner is blind.

Yeah! I got it! I want to bear the fruit of a righteous life and yes, I also want to be wise. Lord, allow my path to cross with those whose souls need winning for Your kingdom.
