Kitchen Cabinet from West Point House

My brother Kerras bought this cabinet from an old homestead in West Point - it was built in to a corner. He had to fix-up and match a few things with it but it is original with its detailing, doors, glass, drawers, etc.

This cabinet is for sale. For information about my brother Kerras' woodwork and folkart see his website: www.birchgate.ca/kerras and http://birchgate.ca/kerras/furniture.html

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
