Hello Daver, a soothing piece for me to read, I chose it from its title; and yet we are not far from His recognition time..' God Bless..'

You crack me up, Daver....I needed that. Best Christmas present so far. I love animals! That painted such a vivid picture in my mind and I can't get it out. Can't stop laughing. Love, Lainie

I Love this Daver. The really Good life, I believe, only begins after we meet the Maker. However, I am convienced we can meet Him to a large degree, while here, improving our lives by his workable system of Love, itself. Thanks so much for coming aboard, I look forward to working together. Sincerely, Moses

My nativity scene would not be complete without the Wise Men's camels, the shepherd's sheep and the manger's donkey. The "beasts" were blessed to be part of one of the greatest events to influence our world, Daver. This is a blessed write and I wish you a very Merry Christmas! Much love, Carolyn
