Is as fruitless as trying to reap

Without having sown.

Highest impulse of the human heart

Worry and trivial pursuits can be released

From your life with that single step.
It doesn't really matter what you do,

It only matters that you do it.

Let us give Thanks poem 042119

Let Us Give Thanks...

Thanks to God for my Redeemer,

Thanks for all Thou dost provide,

Thanks for times not but a memory,

Thanks for Jesus by my side.

Thanks for pleasant, balmy springtime,

Thanks for colorfully, wonderful fall,

Thanks for tears by now forgotten,

Thanks for peace within my soul.

Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered,

Thanks for what Thou dost deny,

Thanks for storms that I have weathered,

Thanks for all Thou dost supply

Thanks for pains, and thanks for pleasure,

Thanks for comfort in despair,

Thanks for grace that none can measure,

Thanks for love beyond compare.

Thanks for roses by the wayside,

Thanks for thorns their stems contain,

Thanks for home and thanks for fireside,

Thanks for hope, that sweet refrain.

Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow,

Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee,

Thanks for hope in the tomorrow,

Thanks through all eternity.

Childs Family History 041819

Childs Family History

            Childs …

                        One of the oldest English family names.

Childe was a title given to Norse, French, and English Kings during the 4^th – 10^th centuries.

First found in Hertfordshire where they held a family seat in ancient times, long before the Norman conquest in 1066.

It was a title given to young nobles awaiting knighthood during the 13^th & 14^th centuries.

Richard Childe, Sr. born about 1465 in England.

The Chiles family immigrated from England to Jamestown, Virginia in 1636.

Walter Chiles, Sr. of Bristol, a 29 year old cloth worker was a passenger on the ship named ‘Blessing’ of Falmouth and was employed to assist the ship’s purser.

A short time later he had his own ship and was engaged in the shipping business.

He later became a prominent political figure serving the people of James City and Jamestown Virginia for a number of years.

Gov. William Berkeley in 1649 sold the home known as the “Kemp House” to Walter Chiles for the sum of 26,000 lbs of tobacco. This house was the first brick house in America and was located in Jamestown.

                                 

On Monday July 28^th 2002 my uncle G.W. Childs and I traveled to the old Childs cemetery west of Fayetteville, TN to do a little research on the family tree. We also visited the courthouse and library to confirm the names and dates on the stones.

We understand the earliest documentation of our ancestors coming to America is one Thomas Childs, aged 30 aboard the “Speedwell” bound for Virginia in 1635 from England. We understand the family settled on the Virginia – North Carolina border and eventually some of the family moved to the Fayetteville, TN area.

The oldest legible stone in the cemetery in Lincoln Co. TN is that of Thomas Childs who died in 1872. One of his sons moved to Tippah Co. MS. Hezekiah Childs is buried in the old Childs cemetery there. Tippah Co. is where my Father Rex Childs was born, the family later moved to Alcorn Co. near Corinth MS. where I was born nearly 57 years ago. I know some of you are into genealogy and thought you might enjoy a little of the family “history.”

As the Scriptures say,

“There is no one doing what is right,
    not even one.”

(Romans 3:10)

All have sinned and are not

good enough to share

God’s divine greatness.

(Romans 3:23)

We are all dirty with sin.
    Even our good works are not pure.
    They are like bloodstained rags.
We are all like dead leaves.
    Our sins have carried us away like wind.

 (Isaiah 64:6)

041419 quotes

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery,

By the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

- Marcus Tullius Cicero

There is sacredness in tears.

They are not the mark of weakness,

But of power.

They speak more eloquently than

Ten thousand tongues.

They are the messengers of

Overwhelming grief,

Of deep contrition,

And unspeakable love.

- Washington Irving

The reality is that you will grieve forever.

You will not “get over” the loss of a loved one;

You will learn to live with it.

You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around

The loss you have suffered.

You will be whole again but you will never be the same.

Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.
