May we really meet the Son of God and let Him live in us. Amen.

Whatever our hope may be, if we did not place it in youth, where should we place it?

The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age.
