Dearest Isobel and Jim, You, who so warmly welcomed our "short term migrant" family of four into your manse in 1970, Thank You in abundance for your graciousness. I am so embarrassed about our newly minted president's rude behavior to your Prime Minister. I apologize on behalf of all of us who still believe in our nation's mission enshrined in Emma Lazarus's words on the Statue of Liberty: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, Send these, the hopeless, helpless lost to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden shores. With prayers of intercession and petition. Much love and admiration, dearest colleagues, Marilyn and Joe From: OE [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of Isobel and Jim Bishop via OE Sent: Friday, February 03, 2017 9:42 PM To: Beret Griffith via OE Subject: [Oe List ...] Fwd: Reflection for January
