The Arms of Love
I give to you a gift
That comes from my heart.
It's a gift that keeps giving
Whether together or apart.
Let me be your refuge.
I love you very much.
Rest in my arms of love.
Enjoy my tender touch.
For my arms of love I give
To keep you safe from harm,
As I hold on to you so tightly
In my ever loving arms.

I Promise You the Moon and Stars
If I could climb to the heavenlies
I’d pick three stars for you.
Each one for our past, present and
future.
To show I love you as I do.
For today with you is a gift
With all of its joy and sorrow.
Holding the memories of yesterday
As well as the promise of tomorrow.
Just like the stars and moon above
You illuminate my soul.
Capturing my heart again and again
More than you’ll ever know.

Harvest
I worked so hard each day,
But felt I got nowhere.
I looked around and saw
There was nothing there.
So I sought my Father’s help.
I cried to Him in prayer.
He took me in His arms
To show how much He cared.
I worked but gave my time to Him
To find abundance beyond compare.
It was in our relationship
That I saw the harvest there.
Seeds of growth were cultivated
His grace and glory, may fare.
The planting of my harvest
Blossomed from my prayer.

Caution! Chlorine Can Damage Gold And Pearls
Chlorine is a valuable disinfectant with many popular uses, but it can be very harmful to karat gold
jewelry and delicate pearls of every kind.
Even in diluted amounts, chlorine can harm any kind of gold…yellow, pink, and especially white gold,
because it can erode the nickel alloy in it and possibly cause weakened prongs and settings. Chlorine is
also bad news for precious pearls, both cultured and freshwater, since it can easily damage a pearl’s
delicate surface and reduce its luster and beautiful iridescence.
Most swimming pool water contains chlorine, so be sure to remove your gold and pearl jewelry before
taking a dip.
Chlorine is also present in many household products such as bleach, detergents, soaps, and cleaners.
So when using any of these products, always take your jewelry off or wear rubber gloves.
