A QUOTE




A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love

~Saint Basil~

    This quote took my mind to the Psalm above that I partially quoted. That's a great tree, Denise. Happy Saturday to you.
