we must be detached from all temporal love.
We must love nothing but Him,
or if we love anything else,
we must love it only for His sake."
St Peter Claver

Good evening, Barbara - Away from my desk all day today... Love it when you 'stop by' - and love it when you 'comment'! Oh, yes - and about St Peter Claver's quote - you seem to live that one! Your hands give and give and give!
