May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Thanks for the list of books! I’ve read two of them and will look for several others. I haven’t been reading as much for pleasure these days with two Bible studies and other things going on. Hopefully I’ll get back to it soon!
