Thank You

Thank you God for the calmness of this day.  It's not without challenges, but I feel you near me.  Thank you for not making me closed by my own pain to the suffering of others.  Lord I pray for my children.  I thank you for choosing me for their creation and entrusting me with such a special gift from you.  

God I thank you for life.  I thank you for the miracle of my body, mind and soul.  Thank you for the opportunity to build a foundation for my children and please dear Lord, help them remember love and respect and the seeds of virtue I tried to cultivate within them.  God I remember the psychologist that said once the building blocks for values and personality are instilled in our child by age six.  Please don't let that be taken away.  I thank you for who they are.

 I tried to follow your word according to Proverbs 31, and love my husband and children as if it were for you yourself, because actually it is.  You appointed me to be the mother and wife of my family.  I'm not sure why things happened like they did but I do not think you had anything to do with it God.  Please heal me.  My pain is deep and I feel lost.  Please don't forget me God.  I didn't know myself outside of what you appointed me to be.  Help me find my way again to the self you created me for.  

I thank you for everything.  I believe you will not waste one thing on our journey on Earth.  Please put a shield around me and my children and save us from harm.  Help us find happiness and prosperity and Peace.  Keep us strong inside and out.  Amen.

Rainy Daze

Today I miss my daughters.  It's raining here.  My feet are stiff and there's a dull ache in the top of my back.  I peer out the window at the tiny raindrops that landed on the glass.  Slowly two small beads of rain slide down the glass as I just stare in a daze, remembering my daughter telling me once that in the car on drives to the Carolinas, she would watch two raindrops slide down the glass as we drove and pretend they were racing.   I used to play in the rain with soap with my girls.  Outside we would go, lathered up and dancing in the rain wild and free feeling it pelting against our warm flesh.  We would laugh and sing and stomp in the mud with bare feet, burying our toes in the sandy soil.  It was so much fun.  To me the best part was coming in and peeling off soaking wet garments, usually a slip or simple dress.  We would wrap ourselves in warm soft towels and feel fresh and dry.  My oldest would act like a wild bird....

My Prayer For Today

Image
God, I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life.  I'm thankful to wake up and feel the breeze brushing my skin and the warm caressing of the sunshine on my face.  I appreciate the opportunities this day has brought me.  I will try my best to not dwell on one hurtful  thing or one physical discomfort, but leave it to you to handle in your own time.   Please God be with my children and loved ones.  Let them feel my heart and know my love for them.  Be with the people that are harder to love, or don't love me.  They are probably hurting Lord, and are the ones that need to be loved the most.  Amen  P.S.  I sure would like a little fiest dog.  A small to medium size mutt.  Something that feels thrown away and needs to be nurtured.  Ebenezer Rouge needs a new friend.

The Pressed Roses

Somewhere in one of my books, probably in a box, is an old pressed rose.  Maybe two pressed roses.  They are from Damon and I saved them all this time.  I wonder how many people still press a flower in a book for sentimental reasons.  I also have an old scrapbook with a pressed boutonniere, and small corsage from a time of promise and possibilities.  A time when everything was new and the possibilities for the future were endless. I suddenly wish I could see it, and gently rub my finger across the weathered, dry petals.  That velvety smoothness of days long ago now, that seem like yesterday or maybe the day before.   I'm not living in the past.  I'm longing for the happiness those days brought me.  I'm no longer longing for people and things unattainable, but for the joy of that era.  I long for love and happiness.  I long for a peace of just knowing there's someone and something I can count on just being.  That source of ...
