Wordless Wednesday...When Less is More

 

On Memorial Day, Larry and I visited the Fallen Warriors Memorial in Houston.  There is a park around the Memorial so we go there often for a change of pace when we walk. 

 

As I admired the flags and wreaths that had been placed there, once sight...very simple and elegant...said it all for me. 

 



Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective, and valuable than words.   Francois Rabelais



No gesture is too small when done with gratitude. Oprah

Hi Kathy,

The pic with the rose on the headstone says it all and the quote from Oprah topped it off nicely.  One sacfrifice large, one gesture small

Kathy I agree, simple works best for me.  All to often people get carried away and miss the mark when it is over the top.

Nina Hollander, Broker that one rose really touched my heart. 

Rocky Dickerson I loved all of the flags but the one rose was the best.

That is one of my favorite scriptures Kathy Streib and I especially keep it in mind when I think of the many youth who died for our rights. That is why it's so heart breaking to see so many in America today willing, even demanding, to give those rights away.
