I HAVE LEARNED...

I have learned that thinking I know it all and knowing it all, has a wide chasm between  ..

I have learned that leaning on my humanity only leads to a foundation of weakness ..

I have learned that beauty lies within the purest of hearts..

I have learned that through it all, the face I see before my eyes close at night is the one I want to spend eternity ..

I have learned love comes when you least expect it..

I have learned a true act of kindness surprises even the hardest of hearts..

I have learned to accept the gift of giving, then given the chance, give back to another in need..

I have learned being blind is not only for the sightless..

I have learned true friendship is forever, through time and eternity,
and never forgotten ..

I have learned that selfishness is a gift to oneself given all too often..

I have learned to breath in the air of goodness and mercy..

Then exhale the air of 

forgiveness and tenderness..

I have learned, all to often, I have much need to learn...

MY PRAYER FOR TODAY ...

Tomorrow is Larry's angiogram ..

 Through prayer I'm turning it over..

I know perfectly well where this strength and courage is coming from..

I know fully who gives me this peace that surpasses all understanding ..

I stand before His presence.. His brilliant light shines upon me..

Behind me is darkness and the the blackness the world brings ..

I've let go of all that chains and limits me..

His love and light is all around.. I am rescued, I am free from the bondage of fear and limitations brought on by the deceiver ..

Thank you Lord.. your love is sufficient.. It carries me through every turmoil ...

 Today, tomorrow and forever, I shall cling steadfastly to your everlasting power, grace and tender mercy ..

Amen 

THAT TINY RAY OF LIGHT...

I've often thought if I ever wrote a book it would be called ..

"THE OTHER SIDE OF HAPPINESS..

But.. there is already a book with that title, so I will have to come up with a title that means basically the same ..

I value my happiness and try never to take it for granted.. I've struggled enough in life to know I'm blessed and I cherish the life God gave me and thank Him for His mercy and grace..

The other side of happiness are  the times I faced storms, darkness and struggles ... Through the tough times, there has always been a tiny white ray of light and the end of a black tunnel, giving me hope, rescuing me from THAT OTHER SIDE OF HAPPINESS..

That tiny light always represents happiness..

MY MOTHERS DAY THOUGHTS 2015

I didn't think about moments that would be remembered and immortalized in time while raising a family of six..

I guess I was too busy just being your mom..

Now that you are all older I hear the tales, of those times I wished you had forgotten ..

All those "good, bad and ugly" moments ..

I realize I was not the June Cleaver I thought I was.. 😉

Somehow though, as 

Fallible as I was being your mother, I take pride in knowing that all six of you turned out pretty darn well and I will take that as a compliment to whoever is passing out the Mom Compliment Awards..

If I failed to or forgot to tell you during your formative years you all spent with your crazy Mom.. I do love you all with every breath that I take and every beat of my heart ..

Something I read today says it best..I want you all to remember when I am no longer here..

"Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as though I were beside you.  I Love You So.. T'was Heaven here with you"...

AT DAWN ....

I heard the crows cry today at dawn..

I fear for the tiny birds whose nests

are neatly tucked deep within the 

Pine and Arbivita trees ..

The crows are like the evil armies

who come to seek and destroy the

weak..

They terrorize, they steal, they pillage,

they take away what took so long to 

build and secure.. Mostly they take

away the dearest, they take the young..

Yes, I fear for the small tiny birds who shelter

themselves deep within the thickened branches..

Be ever so still little ones.. Soon the evil ones will

be gone, then you will be safe and you will be 

free, if for only today...
