I have so many memories of Patsy and her wonderful, uplifting posts throughout the years. She had a wonderful sense of humor too. She was certainly much loved and will be very missed around here!
I went back and found a post that Patsy made one year that I thought was just lovely and considering that we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring and the return of the robins, I thought it was most appropriate.
Enjoy!

The Legend Of The First Robin
One day, long ago, a little bird in Jerusalem saw a large crowd gathered around a Man carrying a heavy wooden cross. On the Man's head was a
crown made from a thorn branch.
The thorns were long and sharp. The little bird saw that the thorns were hurting the Man. It wanted to help Him, so it flew down and took the longest, sharpest thorn in its tiny beak.
The bird tugged and pulled until the thorn snapped from the branch. Then a strange thing happened. A drop of blood
fell onto the bird's breast, staining it bright red.
The stain never went away.
And so today the robin proudly wears a red breast, because it helped a Man named Jesus.
May God bless you today,
And keep you all year through.
May God give you all the faith it takes,
To make your dreams come true.
May His love and wisdom always help,
To guide you on your way.
May His light shine down upon you now,
To bless you every day!
