To talk health, happiness, and prosperity  to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel  that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything  and make your optimism come true.... ” Christian D Larson  'Your Forces and How to Use Them' There is a mixture in our lives of happy times and moments, of feeling good and on top of things...and equally the sorrowful times and the storms moving through. We each find ways to walk this earthly journey and learn through our experiences good and bad, where our true strength is found.  I depend on my faith and

He is my true love."  I have known this man since I was eleven years old.  I feel after all these years I know almost all facets of his personality. Being so sure of his love... his unwavering care to protect me and provide for me fills my heart.  Forty plus times in th

Play themselves out to be forgotten the next day, while the river flows on." Milan Kundera  The Unbearable Lightness of Being Do you ever worry about your personal safety?  Do you worry about your children, your adult kids, your grandchildren, your parents... do you fear that they could be hurt in some way? Do you believe Satan may be laying for you or your family?  Are you worried about this country with all the conflict in Washington? God does not want us to feel that dread.  It is a wide swing here from the river bank to fa

Listening seems to be one of the first things our parents try to teach us .  Memories ring back of me speaking to my own children...  "DID YOU HEAR ME?"     "LISTEN TO ME"  "WHY DON'T YOU EVER LISTEN?" "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" "TELL ME WHAT WORDS I JUST USED." aka "Repeat back to

Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”  Cornelia Funke    Flower and books... pressing the memories forever.  I remember doing it as a young child several times.   I love finding pressed roses in older family Bibles.

"Losing Directions".  We have all been there in life ...probably several times more than we wanted to be.  Ultimately we all seek joy in our lives.  Unless you know sorrow, you cannot fully know and appreciate joy.  Are we even able to find complete joy while we journey here on this earth? Is joy here on ear

My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.” William Goldman  The Princess Bride We hear the words, GOD IS LOVE... but do we accept it with an open heart and hands? Do you believe it?  Aren't most of us wanting acceptance and love? What could you do on a universe of beaches all filled with God's love?  His love is overpowering.  ALL WE NEED IS LOVE: God's love is steadfast and unchanging. We can trust in God's love. We can rest in God's love. God's love is revealed to us through Je
