Second serving of "Side Notes' from the current issue of OUR IOWA magazine:

"Every time we love,
every time we give,
it's Christmas."
~ Dale Evans

*
"One thing about snow---
it makes your lawn
look as good as your neighbors."

*
"A good timber never 
grows with ease;
it needs strong winds
to give it strength."

*
"Be someone else's sunshine.
Be the reason someone
smiles today."

* 
"My landlord wants 
to talk with me
about high heating bills.
I told him
my door is always open."

*
"A word of encouragement
can make the difference 
between giving up
and going on."

*
"Nothing should be prized
more highly
than the value
of each day."

*
"Put everything in
God's hands
and eventually 
you will see
God's hand in everything."
