You’re welcome…

You’re welcome…

Though I didn’t always hear thank you, for sacrifices, I made…Though you may not have grasped the total price, I paid…You’re welcome…Though, you didn’t hear all the prayers, I sent up, crying out to God on your behalf, late at night—I stayed up…You’re welcome…While things didn’t always work out the way I wanted them to, I tried to give and do my best for you…You’re welcome…To tell you the truth, I would do it all over again, Simply because, I love you from a place way down, deep within…You’re welcome…

p.s. And, I really, really, really do love and will always be there for Y-O-U…And it ain't nothin' you can do about it...And you’re welcome…

Sincerely Yours…

Love, at this Moment…

Love, at this Moment…

Love, at this moment, while you can.
We know not what’s in tomorrow’s plan.
Love actually, let there be no deceit.
Deceit embitters, souring that once so sweet.
Love wholeheartedly, hold nothing back,
Lest love fail as a train derailed from its tracks.
Love duly; guard your heart from being unruly.
Break not the heart of those who love you truly.
Love passionately, keep aflame blessed desire.
Let the warmth of your love, stoke others’ fire.
Love, at this moment; take not love for granted.
It is heartbreaking when love is recanted.

At this Moment, Love…

…love one another with a pure heart fervently…
1 Peter 1:22

I wish you love...

I wish you love…

I wish you blessings,

As the budding of Spring,

A memorable melody,

That stirs your heart to sing.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you a will,

To pursue your dreams,

To overcome your challenges,

No matter how hard it may seem.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you good friends,

With great conversation,

To share your joys,

Gladly giving you an ovation.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you warm sunny days,

With deep blue skies.

But when tears fall like rain,

May another be near to dry your eyes.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you comforting shelter,

From life’s storm and rain,

Heartening consolation,

In your seasons of pain.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you the kind of love,

Which enriches and endears,

As the love of God from heaven above,

All embracing, eradicating all fears.

Above all, I wish you love.

I wish you love…

…And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God... Ephesians 3:19

The Bitter and the Sweet

The Bitter and the Sweet

Discern—the journey of life is complete though sculpted of parts bitter and parcels sweet…

Though most truly long for and love the sweet—better, there are times you must endure events and/or seasons of bitter to get to the sweet that you may savor the better…

But there is power to be had in the times of bitter, for though it be a point or period of bitter, if you sincerely, purposely meditate on the sweet, you can feel the comfort of the better…

Tis better to ponder the sweet WORD of God even when the times are bitter…

Psalms 119:103. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psalms 19: 7. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
