Cinnamon, ginger, and clove—
Tasting pumpkin spice
Morning’s rendezvous
Coffee’s friendship connections—
Always by the cup

Watching a curious child
Witnessing sparkles of joy
Blessing us with innocence
Seeing how life will deploy
Finding daily adventure
Lighting up another room
Reaching out with innocence
Moving with a speedy vroom
Revealing wonders of life
Surviving each bump and bruise
Shining through with innocence
Napping now, let’s take a snooze
Playing through daily lessons
Sharing love with extra zest
Teaching us with innocence
Enjoying life with each quest

Our Savior loves us perfectly because He’s fully God and fully man–powerful and compassionate.
From Luke 22:69-70: ‘”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.’ All of them asked, ‘Are you, then, the Son of God?’ He said to them, ‘You say that I am.'”

Admitted to the American Union on June 21, 1778, New Hampshire became its 9th state.
Here are a few quick facts about New Hampshire:
New Hampshire traces its history back to the original 13 English colonies. Its namesake comes from the English county of Hampshire.
The state’s nickname is “Granite State.” This relates to the numerous granite quarries in the state. In 1776 at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the New Hampshire delegates were the first to sign below the signature of the Congress’ President John Hancock.
New Hampshire is home to over 1,400 acres of apple orchards. It is no wonder that apple cider is the official beverage of the state.
The state’s geography features a most distinctive landscape. Frequently called the White Mountain State, nearly one quarter of the state contains forested mountain ranges. Because of its mountainous scenery, New Hampshire is often referred to as the Switzerland of America.
