Language of the soul

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
How soft the music of those village bells
Falling at intervals upon the ear
In cadence sweet!
~ William Cowper (1731 - 1768) ~

On January 27, Danielle and Joseph had a piano recital at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto.

Danielle played "Rondo" by Clementi and "Polka" by Tchaikovsky.

Joseph played "Little Brown Jug", "Ciapanecas (a Mexican song)", and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands".

Both worked hard practicing for the recital and we are very proud of them!!

Our Greatest Treasures!!

Children Are A Gift From God
by Sandra Tolson

God sent me three packages
That needed special care

"Take care of these tiny gifts

For they are very rare."

"Watch over them with all your love

And let them feel your touch

Take care of their every need

For you are needed very much."

"These gifts will grow up very fast
As you soon will see

Love them with all your heart

And let them be what they will be."

"When these gifts have fully grown

Look at Heaven up above

Know they exist because of God

And all his precious love."
