I love quotes! There are people who can say in three words what it takes me 37 words to say!

I think, tho, it was in Isaiah 49.15b, 16a that it was first said, "I will not forget you. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands..."

Miss Lois, like me, must love to personalize and shamelessly pilfer from the scriptures! Ha!
