GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LONG STEMMED
PINK ROSE BUD WHEN YOU ARE
FINISHED LOOKING AROUND.
THE BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND THE
WARMTH OF THE ROSEBUD
REMINDED
ME OF HOW UNIQUE AND
BEAUTIFUL
EACH ONE OF YOU ARE.
I AM SOOO
VERY HAPPY YOU DROPPED
BY TO SEE
ME.
IT MAKES ME FEEL SOOOO
VERY HONORED
TO START MY DAY OUT WITH
A VISIT
FROM YOU.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I'M LATE...I'M LATE...
SO MANY THINGS TO DO...
SO MANY THINGS ON MY PLATE!
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LATE ???
ISN'T THIS HAT STUNNING.
I KNOW THERE IS SNOW AND ICE EVERY WHERE
AND SO MANY FLIGHTS CANCELLED, IT IS DIFFICULT
TO IMAGINE HOW THEY WILL EVER CATCH UP
BUT
THIS YEAR
THIS JOURNEY
THIS PLACE
THIS SEASON
MY MOTTO IS:
"KEEP SPRING IN YOUR HEART"
I USE TO HATE WINTER BUT THIS YEAR
I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE GREEN SPROUT PEEKING
THROUGH THE SNOW, JUST WAITING FOR WARM
SOIL TO DANCE IN.
THANK YOU MY BELOVED AMY FOR BLOWING
ME SUNSHINE AND SPARKLES FROM HEAVEN.
YOU ARE SOOOO VERY PRECIOUS MY BELOVED
DAUGHTER AND YOU SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
AND OUR LOVE CONTINUES TO GROW DEEPER. YOUR
DEPARTURE HAS LEFT A HUGE VOID IN SO MANY
LIVES BUT I KNOW YOU ARE FOREVER SAFE IN
THE PRESENCE OF JESUS AND BASKING IN HIS SUNSHINE.
I HAVE COME TO REALIZE...DUH...I'M SLOW IN MY THINKIN',
YOU ARE NOT COMING BACK NOR WOULD I EVER WANT YOU
TO RETURN TO ALL THAT HELL OF ENDLESS SUFFERING
BUT LIKE A TRUE MARINE YOU KEPT A SMILE ON YOUR
FACE AND NEVER COMPLAINED. I HAVE NEVER MET
ANY ONE...ANY ONE AS BRAVE AS YOU BABY GIRL.
GOD IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW ME TO SEE YOU BECAUSE
ONE GLIMPSE WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH...I WOULD BE
BEGGING FOR ONE MORE TIME...ONE MORE TIME.
BUT ONE GLORIOUS DAY...
ONE GLORIOUS DAY...
I WILL BE WITH YOU AND JESUS
FOR EVER AND EVER
AND WELL...UNTIL THEN,
I FOUND THIS QUOTE:
"TO LIVE IS THE RAREST THING IN THE
WORLD. MOST PEOPLE EXIST, THAT IS ALL."
~OSCAR WILDE
I KNOW THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A HUGE HOLE
IN MY HEART AND I WILL CRY AND STILL GRIEVE
FOR YOU, I, LIKE YOU AMY, WILL ONLY PASS THROUGH
THIS LIFE ONE TIME AND GOD DOES HAVE A PUR-
POSE FOR ME.
I DON'T WANT TO JUST EXIST. I WANT TO LIVE AND
IN ADDITION TO THE THINGS GOD HAS FOR ME TO DO,
THERE ARE THINGS I WANT TO DO AND SEE.
ANOTHER DUH, DUH...I DIDN'T FEEL I HAD THE RIGHT
TO LIVE BECAUSE YOU WERE 22 YEARS YOUNGER
THAN ME. PARENTS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BURY THEIR
CHILDREN.
I KNOW IT IS THROUGH YOU AMY, AND THE PRAYERS
OF THE ANGELS HERE IN BLOG LAND THAT I HAVE MADE
IT TO THIS POINT. LORETTA, I
SAY THANK YOU....MAYBE SOME DAY I WILL MEET YOU
UNDER THE WILD CHERRY TREE.
THIS PICTURE IS FOR SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO
ARE LIVING IN FEAR. YOU HAVE LOST YOUR JOBS,
THEY ARE GOING TO FORECLOSE ON YOUR HOME,
AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT LIES A HEAD OF YOU
ON
THE ROAD OF LIFE.
IT IS TRYING TO SAY THE LEAST WHEN YOU LIVE WITH
GREAT UNCERTAINTIES.
DEATH LITERALLY COMES IN MANY FORMS...
THE LOSS OF A JOB
THE LOSS OF YOUR HOME
A DIVORCE
A LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS
TO GO BLIND
SO MANY THINGS.
I HAVE DRAWN COMFORT FROM THIS SCRIPTURE
OVER THE PAST MONTH,
"I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THIS SO THAT YOU MAY
HAVE PEACE IN ME HERE ON EARTH. YOU WILL
HAVE MANY TRIALS AND SORROWS, BUT TAKE
HEART BECAUSE I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD,"
SAID JESUS.
~JOHN 16:33
BE ENCOURAGED MY FRIEND THAT IS HURTING.
BE INSPIRED BY SOMETHING OR SOMEONE.
KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT
YOU AND ARE CHEERING FOR YOU.
TAKE A LONG WALK AND LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL
NATURE IS AND HOW STRONG IT STANDS THROUGH
ALL THE SEASONS
BE FLEXABLE...KNOW THAT MAYBE GOD IS
CHANGING YOUR CAREER PATH AND THERE
ARE BLESSINGS WAITING FOR YOU

Hi sweet lady! I hae missed you and know you took a break. I am so happy to see you here. Please keep in touch. Lots of prayers going out all over the place! my hubby is dropping his older brother off at the emergency room. He is dependent on pain killers. We can not deal with him. They will have to do womething. Can you beleive an addict has to make an appt. to get into rehab?????? The story is long and painful. Pray for all of us please.
On a lighter note Happy New Year to you and I hope it will be a grand one! May God richly bless you sweet friend. Hugs and Much Love Anne
Hi Debbie,
Bless your sweet heart...You are such an inspiration!!!
XO
OH DEBBIE - I AM SO GLAD THAT WHILE YOU ARE FEELING YOUR GRIEF - YOU HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO LIVE AND USE THE LIFE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO LIVE - THAT IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO IN LIFE - TO FIND AND LOOK FOR JOY IN THE MIST OF GRIEF. NO YOU WON'T SEE AMY FOR AWHILE - BUT SHE IS WAITING FOR YOU - YOU ARE STILL LOVING HER - SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE PAIN ON EARTH - MAYBE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING IN HER NAME- WHILE HERE ON EARTH.
LOVE,
SANDIE
Beautiful thoughts Debbie! Your heart always shine forth. I like the idea of keeping spring in our heart.
Hugs, Sue
Praying for all of you, and I hope everyone is on the mend. This is a beautiful post, and you are such an inspiration for so many.
Debbie, I am so sorry that you hurt yourself and hope that you will be okay. Yes, it is strange that in one family so many of you fell. If your aunt dis have a stroke I hope she recovers completely. That fall was bad enough.
We were lucky with the weather because we did not get the dreaded sleet and freezing rain that usually causes us to lose power.
Wish I could say the same for all.
