I had Lucy and Harry in their double stroller early this morning wheeling them down Broughton Street while Erika was getting her hair cut and styled at my favorite salon "B Street."
We had a great frolic in Chippewa Square throwing pennies into the fountain and making wishes on them. The children ran and climbed and brought smiles to the faces of the working people who were passing by.......
The last square that we visited had a huge statue of John Wesley honoring him and his life and work in Savannah. He was the founder of Methodism in case you forgot. His marker said that he lived beside this square, which is one block from the Savannah River. It also said that he could be seen often praying and reading his Bible in the garden beside his home. He lived from 1703 until 1791.
Carved in the stone of his statue were these words:
"My heart's desire for this place is not that it be famous or rich,
But that it may be a religious colony.
And then, I am sure it cannot fail of the blessings of God."
John Wesley knew the truth.........It is only as long as a city or a nation honors God that it will receive His blessing. Oh if he could see us now. How sad!
Erika looked ravishingly beautiful by the way.
