The 23rd Psalm for Genealogists

Genealogy is my Pastime ... I shall not stray, It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried Tombstones; It leadeth me into still Courthouses. It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge; It leadeth me into the Paths of Census Records and Ships Passenger Lists for my Surnames' sake; Yes, though I wait through the Shadows of Research Libraries and Microfilm Readers, I shall fear no Discouragment, for a Strong Urge is with me. The curiosity and Motivation, they Comfort me; It demandeth preparation of Storage Space for the Aquisition of Countless Documents; It anointeth my Head with burning Midnight Oil, My Family Group Sheets runneth over. Surely Birth,Marriage and Death dates shall follow me all the Days of my Life, And I shall dwell in the House of a Family History Seeker Forever.   ~ By Wildamae Brestal ~

A Prayer For Genealogists

"Some family trees have beautiful leaves, but some just have a bunch of nuts. Remember it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking." ~ Unknown ~ Lord, help me dig into the past, And sift the sands of time; That I might find the roots that made This family tree of mine. Lord, help me trace the ancient roads, On which my fathers trod; And led them through so many lands, To find our present sod. Lord, help me find an ancient book Or dust manuscript, That's safely hidden now away In some forgotten crypt. Lord, let it bridge the gaps that haunts My soul when I can't find, The missing link between some name That ends the same as mine. ~ Curtis Woods ~

The Four Candles

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak... The first candle said,  "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely. The second candle says,  "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely. Sadly the third candle spoke,  "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely. Suddenly... A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end." Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles." With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.  Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are... Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.Author Unknown
