another poem

Whatever your cross,
Whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine, after the rain....
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call....
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
A word from His lips, can calm every fear...
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, by dawn's early light...
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
To give you His grace, and send you His love.

Fear of what others will say is lack of trust in Me. Convert all difficulties into the purification of your character.

in a world where back and white aren't always what they seem


why can't we all get along, living beside one another without disliking someone different than we are? there are lessons to be learned from young children, and their acceptance of a friend without seeing a color of skin. God is disappointed that his children are fighting, killing, hating, mistreating each other. today i have been thinking about how beautiful the flowers are growing together, sharing the same soil and water. because they are different, it makes a delightful experience to see. we would likely grow tired of their beauty if there was no different shapes, colors, variety. why do we always want more? we are selfish creatures-- we are the ones who can not live in harmony with nature as it should be. someone always comes along and alters it-- ultimately destroying what gives us life. i pray i will be in a beautiful place with colors never seen before, hearing glorious sounds, spending eternity with those i love, the ones i love even though i have not seen their physical mortal being, and the ones i miss so very much. i feel i will not in my lifetime live in a world where this is possible-- who does know what is to come? there is only one answer. the way the truth and the light .............................................

comfort in words and my beautiful flowers





Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

new year means there is something old

i am tired, i don't feel good, i am missing so many things and people who make up my past....how can i make the change necessary to make a new year a good one? somewhere inside me there must still be a light glow, the smallest ember to light a fire to warm my soul. how do i find it? there is so much darkness. i want to believe i can see it in the darkness. help me fight a good fight. please lord, help me, i am falling, i need you and i need the will to fight, give me strength....send your angels my way

wedding photographs


can't choose between the 1000+ pictures to buy...need a lot of money and thank goodness for internet storage!! seeing my children and family i know you will agree why the choice is soooooo difficult..............plus my hoarding disorder.....can anyone sympathize with my dilemma? and now the chrismas pictures are trickling in too. happy holidays!! remember when you love someone you will do anything crazy unexplainable actions with no bounds unreasonable believing you can fly to please that other person when you love someone the way i love you no matter what the sacrifice without thinking twice, risking it all no matter what may come of it shoot for the moon try to make it to the sun when you love someone the way i love you, just to make you feel my love no fears no tears near you with you for a million years is how i want to spend the rest of my life there ain't nothing i wouldn't do to make you feel my love and you ain't seen nothing like me yet from here to the ends of the earth and heavens no regret just to make you feel my love--from my heart the one that loves you forever and ever

Loving You Today I Am So Glad We Took The Risk

There is a risk involved in everything. Every time you share a smile, Every time you shed a tear, You are opening yourself up to hurt. Some people tread slowly through life, Avoiding the closeness risk brings, Sidestepping the things they can't understand, Turning away from those who care too much, Those who care too long, Those who hold too tightly. There is never an easy way to love. You cannot approach it cautiously. It will not wait for you to arm yourself. It does not care if you turn away. It is everywhere, it is everything. Love is the greatest of all risks. It is not reliable, it is not cautious, It is not sympathetic. It is unprejudiced and unmerciful. It strikes the strongest of mind. And brings them to their knees in one blow. Even in the best of times, love hurts. It hurts to need, it hurts to belong, It hurts to be the other part of someone else, Without either of your consent, But, from the moment it overtakes you, It hurts worse to be alone. Loving You Today --- Glad We Took The Risk
