Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

Memorial Day Memories from Homeschool Radio Shows

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. – Jewish proverb

A picture memory brings to me;
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother’s knee.
I feel her gentle hand restrain
My selfish moods, and know again
A child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.
But wiser now,
a man gray grown,
My childhood’s needs are better known.
My mother’s chastening love I own.
- John Greenleaf Whittier

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will
always find forgiveness. – Honore’ de Balzac

Thank you for all your love, instruction, prayers and forgiveness.
I love you Mom.

Love,

Denese

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:25

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:1-6
