In this very room there's quite enough love for one like me,

And in this very room there's quite enough joy for one like me,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom,
For Jesus, Lord Jesus ... is in this very room.

And in this very room there's quite enough love for all of us,
And in this very room there's quite enough joy for all of us,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom,
For Jesus, Lord Jesus ... is in this very room.

In this very room there's quite enough love for all the world,
And in this very room there's quite enough joy for all the world,
And there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom,
For Jesus, Lord Jesus ... is in this very room.

Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats called Gruff.
In the winter they lived in a barn in the valley. When spring came they longed to travel up to the mountains to eat the lush sweet grass. On their way to the mountains the three Billy Goats Gruff had to cross a rushing river. But there was only one bridge across it, made of wooden planks. And underneath the bridge there lived a terrible, ugly, one-eyed troll.
Nobody was allowed to cross the bridge without the troll's permission and nobody ever got permission. He always ate them up. The smallest Billy Goat Gruff was first to reach the bridge. Trippity-trop, trippity-trop went his little hooves as he trotted over the wooden planks. Ting-tang, ting-tang went the little bell round his neck. " Who's that trotting over my bridge ? " Growled the troll from under the bridge. "Billy Goat Gruff," squeaked the smallest goat in his little voice. "I'm only going up to the mountain to eat the sweet spring grass."
"Oh no, you're not!" said the troll. "I'm going to eat you for breakfast!" " Oh no, please Mr. Troll, " pleaded the goat." I'm only the smallest Billy Goat Gruff. I'm much too tiny for you to eat, and I wouldn't taste very good. Why don't you wait for my brother, the second Billy Goat Gruff ? He's much bigger than me and would be much more tasty. "The troll did not want to waste his time on a little goat if there was a bigger and better one to eat."All right, you can cross my bridge," he grunted. "Go and get fatter on the mountain and I'll eat you on your way back!" So the smallest Billy Goat Gruff skipped across to the other side. The troll did not have to wait long
for the second Billy Goat Gruff.Clip-clop, clip-clop went his hooves as he clattered over the wooden planks. Ding-dong, ding-dong went the bell around his neck. "Who's that clattering across my bridge?" screamed the troll, suddenly appearing from under the planks. " Billy Goat Gruff, " said the second goat in his middle-sized voice. "I'm going up to the mountain
to eat the lovely spring grass." "Oh no you're not!" said the troll."I'm going to eat you for breakfast." " Oh, no, please, " said the second goat. " I may be bigger than the first Billy Goat Gruff, but I'm much smaller than my brother,the third Billy Goat Gruff. Why don't you wait for him? He would be much more of a meal than me. "The troll was getting very hungry,but he did not want to waste his appetite on a middle-sized goat if there was an even bigger one to come. " All right, you can cross my bridge," he rumbled. " Go and get fatter on the mountain and I'll eat you on your way back ! "
So the middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff scampered across to the other side. The troll did not have to wait long for the third Billy Goat Gruff. Tromp-tramp, tromp-tramp went his hooves
as he stomped across the wooden planks. Bong-bang, bong-bang went the big bell round his neck. " Who's that stomping over my bridge?" roared the troll, resting his chin on his hands. " Billy Goat Gruff, " said the third goat in a deep voice.
" I'm going up to the mountain to eat the lush spring grass. "
" Oh no you're not, " said the troll as he clambered up on to the bridge. " I'm going to eat you for breakfast ! "
" That's what you think, " said the Biggest Billy Goat Gruff.
Then he lowered his horns, galloped along the bridge and butted the ugly troll. Up, up, up went the troll into the air... then down, down, down into the rushing river below. He disappeared below the swirling waters, and was gone. So much for his breakfast, thought the biggest Billy Goat Gruff. " Now what about mine ! " And he walked in triumph over the bridge
to join his two brothers on the mountain pastures.
From then on everyone could cross the bridge whenever they liked - Thanks to the Three Billy Goats Gruff

Three little kittens, They lost their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother, dear, We sadly fear, Our mittens we have lost.

What! Lost your mittens, You naughty kittens, Then you shall have no pie. Meow, meow, Then you shall have no pie.

The three little kittens, They found their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother, dear, See here, see here, Our mittens we have found.

What, found your mittens, Then you're good kittens,
And you shall have some pie. Purr-rr, purr-rr, Then you shall have some pie.

Three little kittens, Put on their mittens, And soon ate up the pie. Oh, mother, dear, We sadly fear, Our mittens we have soiled.

What! Soiled your mittens, You naughty kittens, And they began to sigh. Meow, meow, And they began to sigh.

The three little kittens, They washed their mittens, And hung them out to dry. Oh, mother, dear, Do you not hear, Our mittens we have washed?

What! Washed your mittens? Then you're good kittens! But I smell a rat close by. Meow, meow, We smell a rat close by.
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, She had so many children she didn't know what to do;

She gave them some broth without any bread; She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
Ring-a-ring o' rosie, A pocket full of posies, Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow.

Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went. Everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day. It followed her to school one day, Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play. It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school.
Little Miss Muffet, sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and whey; Along came a spider, who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away
Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped
over the moon; The little dog laughed to see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Baa baa, Black Sheep,
Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full:

One for my master, One for my dame,  And one for the little boy That lives in the lane

All through the night

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee all through the night

Guardian angels God will send thee all through the night
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping, hill and dale in slumber sleeping I, my loving vigil keeping all through the night.

While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night
While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night
O’er thy spirit gently stealing visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling all through the night
Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight,

With lillies be spread, is baby’s wee bed!
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blest.

Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother’s delight!
Bright angels around my darling abound!
They will guide thee from harms; thou shalt wake in my arms.
They will guide thee from harms; thou shalt wake in my arms.
(words and music ©1940 by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell)

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away!

The other night, dear, as I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away!
The wheels on the bus go round and round

Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town

Wipers go...swish, swish, swish
Doors go...open and shut
Money goes...jingle, jingle, jingle
Horn goes...beep, beep, beep,
Driver says… “Move on back!”
People go...up and down
Baby goes…“waaaa, waaaaa, waaaaa”
Mommy goes… “Sh, sh, sh”
Daddy goes… “Kiss, kiss, kiss”
Sisters play… “Peek-a-boo”
Brothers play… “Tag you’re it!”
Grandma goes… Knit, knit, knit
Grandpa goes… “Snore, snore, snore”
Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream!
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out!
Out came the sun and dried up al the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!
Head and shoulders,  Knees and toes, knees and toes!
Head and shoulders, Knees and toes, knees and toes!
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose Head and shoulders,
Knees and toes, knees and toes!
see the moon, the moon sees me Hiding behind the old oak tree Please let the light that shines on me Shine on the one I love!

Over the mountains over the sea Back where my heart is longing to be Please let the light that shines on me Shine on the one I love!

I see the moon, the moon sees me The moon sees the one that I want to see God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the one I love!

It seems to me that God above Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest Because he knew I’d love you best!
I looked out the window and what did I see?

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!
Spring has brought me such a nice surprise
Blossoms popping right before my eyes
I could take an armful and make a treat
A popcorn ball that would be so sweet
It wasn’t really so, but it seemed to be
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!
""I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge-

That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts-
That hope always triumphs over experience-
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.""

Some people come into our lives and we don't know why?

Some people become friends and stay awhile...
leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts...
and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
I think this life is special...live and savour every moment...
This is not a dress rehearsal!
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

Some moves our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding
with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never, ever the same.”

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them ,a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them!!

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.



-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
How deep is a mother's love?

How far does a mother's love go?
Is there a limit to her love?
Is there always enough of her love?
A mother will for the love of her children,
Do the things ordinary beings will not do,
Things that are seen as a bother,
She has them done without much fuss.
Always making sure there is ample food for all,
Hiding her countless worries for her children,
Swallowing anger when her pride is bruised,
Forgiving the very child who hurt her feelings.
Taking under her loving and gentle wings,
The little children of her own children,
Pouring her unmatched devotion and affection,
Spelling out the great depth of her endless love.
Now tell me can you measure a mother's love?

Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are Mind, and evermore we take

The tool of thought, and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills,
We think in secret, and it comes to pass -
Our world is but our looking glass.
