Looking Back Moments

On this day some 39 years ago did I marry my husband...

We stood in front of the minister at the Church and receipted our wedding vowels, to love and to cherish, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.

There were some at our wedding that did not believe that we would make the distance, or that we were doing the right thing. There were others who knew that we both had love for each other that would keep us together no matter what life would bring our way.

There have been times when we both wanted to through the towel in and walk away, but then we look at what life would be without the other in our days.

There as been many moments of Love Joy and Peace. There have been moments of pain and of Grief. But together we decided we would row down the river of the rest of our lives.

Next year will be a real mile stone when we celebrate 40 years..

It has been Faith in each other and Faith in God who brought us together that we have succeeded in continuing our married life last this long, and remain happy.

 

With every Sunrise comes promise of new life.....

Moments of insights

I sat back of listened to the words of the Lords Prayer as I prayed them today.. and decided I wanted to make it more personal for me..

So I said

My Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give me this day my daily bread and forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me. Lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom the Power and Glory.. Forever and Ever.. Amen..

Then I looked at some words on a Book Mark my sister had given me which said...

One Day at a Time
Easy does it
First things First
Let go and let God
Live and let live
Keep an open mind
Think think think
Count your Blessings
How important is it
Let it begin with me
Listen and learn
But for the Grace of God...

This lead me to Pray these words....

Lord let me take just one day at a time, taking it easy as I grow, letting go and letting God take over my life. Living and letting Live, keeping an open mind, but thinking on YOUR words the Bible.. Counting my blessings recognising how important it is to let it begin with me to listen and learn but for the Grace of God go I.... in His Name...Amen

Live every moment like it may be your last

This came in my inbox today...It was in a fancy web page..

but I think the message is so true... I wish you many mud puddles each day..

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away."

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard.

My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on.

When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away.

My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen.

My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk.

My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.

When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that.

My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy."

When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets.

My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross, and worms to play with.

I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from? No wonder God loves the little children!

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I wish you Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!
