Lord Bless our enemies have mercy upon them may they turn their course and let us alone and let us live in peace at our homes in our own native land.
In the laughing times we know that we are lucky and in the quiet times we know that we are blessed. And we will not be alone.

It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.
The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured.
