The Kettle.

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

There’s many a house of grandeur,

With turret, tower and dome,

That knows not peace or comfort,

And does not prove a home.

I do not ask for splendour

To crown my daily lot,

But this I ask – a kitchen

Where the kettles always hot.

If things are not all ship-shape,

I do not fume or fret,

A little clean disorder

Does not my nerves upset.

But one thing is essential,

Or seems so in my thought,

And that’s a tidy kitchen

Where the kettle’s always hot.

In my Aunt Hattie’s household,

Though skies outside are drear,

Though times are dark and troubled,

You’ll always find good cheer.

And in her quaint old kitchen –

The very homiest spot –

The kettle’s always singing,

The water’s always hot.

And if you have a headache,

Whate’er the hour may be,

There is no tedious waiting

To get your cup of tea.

I don’t know how she does it –

Some magic she has caught –

For the kitchen’s cool in summer,

Yet the kettle’s always hot.

Oh, there’s naught else so dreary

In household kingdom found

As a cold and sullen kettle

That does not make a sound.

And I think that love is lacking

In the hearts in such a spot,

Or the kettle would be singing

And the water would be hot.

Thank You Linda for Always Keeping The Kettle Always Hot at our house..

If You Love Barns

A MY QULITY TIME POST LINKING TO “BARN CHARM” , “OUR WORLD TUESDAY”,SCENIC SUNDAY AND SPIRITUAL SUNDAYS

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family.

When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

Very good, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked."Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."

When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!"

Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!

You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!

Maybe barns are about love

I say, “If your dealing with a “knothole” in your life

Slow down head to a barn or the woods for some quiet meditative time for yourself and think of all the things you have to be grateful for. Might not hurt to live a little simpler life.” How much is enough? Click to find out.

The Silence of the Forest

 

The Silence of the Forest.

By Eunice E Powe

The silence of the forest, the echo of the trees

The whispers as the wind blows, just as you please!

I swirl around and around and look to the sky

Through the tall branches, I see the clouds float by.

Can I be dreaming or am I just in a spin

The peace that is before me, a chill upon my skin.

As I walk, the leaves rustle beneath my feet

Sending little notes of joy, a melody to beat.

I can only stop and stare and keep the memory mine

The forest has it’s mystery and I must keep in line.

I will sit beneath the tree and listen to the sound

So many different messages are scattered all around.

The whistle of the wind rushing pass my face

Looking for the exit, so it can leave this place.

The branches sway and the leaves begin to fall

I can hear the birds now, sending me their call.

I must now follow and leave the forest too

Day is nearly ended, the dark will spoil my view.

Tomorrow I can come again, enjoy the peace I seek

The silence of the forest, are whispers I can keep.

Artist Anna Speshilova

"If our principles are right, why should we be cowards?"

 

"Any great change must expect opposition, because it shakes the very foundation of privilege."

"The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source."

"In the true married relationship, the independence of husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal."

"Man is not by nature a tyrant, but becomes a tyrant by power conferred on him."

"My convictions led me to adhere to the sufficiency of the light within us, resting on truth as authority, rather than 'taking authority for truth.'"

"If our principles are right, why should we be cowards?"
