Holy Week

 On days such as today, when the world stops to pray....I too kneel down and take time to say....

I thank thee Lord for the gift of life

For the gift to be of service

and to nurture life

I thank thee for the flowers and leaves

The trees and air, 

and the water I drink

at times I am not worthy

yet you are always there

I feel you in my heart 

and see you when I close my eyes

Bless my family, my friends, and everyone around..for your LOVE is endless and nothing man-made could ever replace thy GREATNESS

(Lantana is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region. The genus includes both herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m (1.6–6.6 ft) tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or lantanas. The generic name originated in Late Latin, where it refers to the unrelated Viburnum lantana. )-Wikipedia-
