A family is a blessing - Anon
A family is a blessing
it means so many things,
words could never really tell
the joy a family brings...
A family is a mutual love,
the love of a dad and mother
showing children how to love
and care for one another....
A family is a heartfelt pride,
the feeling deep and strong,
that makes us glad to play a part,
and know that we belong...
A family is always a home,
a place where we can share
our joys and sorrows, hopes and dreams,
for happiness lives there...
A family is a bond of faith,
that even time can't sever,
a gift to last throughout our lives -
a family is forever!

Edmund Burke Quotation
"Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve to be remembered by their posterity." -- Edmund Burke
Why We Like It: Considering the work we do, and the concern we have for discovering and providing temple ordinances for our deceased loved ones, one cannot help but wonder if Edmund Burke had (or felt) the whisperings of the Spirit when making such a statement.
Contributed by: Sister Gwen Weaver, who found this in one of the books we are processing.

A two-for-one
Titles: Lefingebi
The Founding of a Nation
Authors: Jarvis Lisenbee
Frank M. Gregg
TNs:
786025
467324_01
Why We Like Them:
Amazing Histories!
Mixed in the family history of the "Lefingebi" book is a wonderful history of England. We call special attention to the maps of 5th & 9th Centuries England, found on pgs 31-32. Pages 70-71 discuss emigration to US and pgs 1270-1272 explains the Census Tracks.
In "The Founding of a Nation" the forward explains the difference between "Pilgrims" and "Puritans". It also contains excellent maps not only of "Landing Rock" aka Plymouth Rock, which was their third discovery (pg 205) but of their first and second discoveries as well (pg 153 and 183 respectively). Also contains a picture of the Mayflower entering Plymouth Harbor (pg 235).

Serial Article: "The First Winter Was a Grave Time for the Pilgrims," by Robert F. Huber
The Howland Quarterly, published by The Pilgrim John Howland Society; Vol 63 No. 3, September 1998, pg 1+.
TN 8281_63
Why We Like It: This is an "up close and personal" view of the Pilgrim's first Winter (1620-21), focusing on the life experiences of John Howland. This account tells of tragic loss of life to scurvy, pneumonia, tuberculosis, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, exposure and overexertion. The Pilgrims were so concerned that the Indians would discover their weakened condition that they secretly buried the dead at night on Cole's Hill. They even leveled off the graves and planted corn on them to hide their great losses. An inspiring article that causes us to appreciate the sacrifice of some early inhabitants of this great land.
