When Angels Call
In soft and gentle slumber I rest,
My guardian angel is by my bed.
No fears or worries do I have,
For tears of joy I now do shed.
Angels calling out to my soul,
Gods' wondrous glory I behold.
On wings of gold they come to me,
Keeping my dreams in perfect harmony.
No sorrow, no sadness do I find
For God's eternal love is all mine.
For Mom, my friend and teacher of goodness in life. An Angel to all, in heaven's light.
My guardian angel is by my bed.

No sorrow, no sadness do I find
For God's eternal love is all mine.

Battling Giants
There are so many occasion in our lifetime when we are face with incredible obstacles. At times certain situation feel as though we can not begin to figure out how to over come them. We are tasked as humans to search for answers that may seem far outside the scope of what we are able to achieve. How then do we battle giants?
Giants are not just some figure from a story of long, long ago, they exist in our everyday walk. Their forms differ depending on the battle ahead, yet they are every bit as frightening. Our battles require vast types of armor, but the spirit to survive is forged from the will to survive.
For many of us there may be only a few episodes in our entire life where we find ourselves battling a particular giant, for others there may be hundreds of incidents. Still, the need to go on, the will to endure always learning how to outlast the foe never seems to change. We are imperfect creatures at times looking for perfection and our giants are ready and willing to block the way.
How awesome is life with its ever changing nature. That mankind has the ability to go with the flow and find a way to battle the giants in our lives. That no matter the odds or even the outcome at the end of every life we can take pride in a battle well fought.
For every human that is born, we die as well, but its the in between that leaves our mark.Our battles are fought and our victories shared with one another. Battling giants, simply because our spirits will endeavor to survive and last forever.
Our human factor, battling giants, and thus becoming one with eternity.

A Prayer for Barbara
Oh Lord, if you aren't too busy this morning I have a special favor to ask of you. A prayer for Barbara is being lifted up into your loving hands. You see, this morning Barbara will under go surgery to check out what appears to be several cancerous nodules within her abdominal cavity and a tumor on her pancreas.
She's quiet a lady as you already know, with a heart of gold. For over thirty years she gave her time to teach young adults a subject I could never understand, math. In all of the years that I have known her anytime that I was in need, there she was helping out in the best way she could.
Barbara is one of those giving types of people who just love to help others. That's called love, something that you God have asked us to do. Right now her main concern is not about herself, but it is about her family and friends.
We already know that her situation is looking very grim, but we all are hopeful that you God will be merciful.
Sometimes miracles come not in saving a life, but letting a life finish it's course with grace and dignity. So tonight God I'm asking everyone that reads this to ask you for grace and dignity for Barbara. I know she would greatly appreciate it.
We can never be sure of our future can we and since both of her parents died from cancer, well let's just say Barbara isn't expecting a good report. So I trust that you God will be with her all during her surgery. Fill her soul with hope that no matter what happens your love will see her through.
Let everyone who knows how great prayers can be ask God to take care of Barbara, after all she's been my sister-in-law for almost 38 years now and I really want her to hang around so we can continue to hang out together and love one another, the way we are suppose to.
This is A Prayers For Barbara, worldwide. Hoping everybody will join in. God's always on duty and he does take prayer request. I know that for sure, Barbara has prayed for me more times than I can count and I'm still here.
So God, hear every prayer today and be merciful. We love her and want what's best for her. Thank you for listening God and taking this special request. It means the world to me and her family too.
AMEN !!

A minute
I have a minute, it goes by too fast.
In everything I do still hoping it will last.
Twirling, twirling it all slips by my life,
tugging, tugging my heart strings of strife,
Pelting, pelting me ,my life's too short,
everything, everything way out of sort.
Tick, tick,ticking of the fast pace clock,
minutes of my life disappearing like sinking rocks.
Minutes here and minutes there,
Quick hurry up, still time to share.

SORROW
Sorrow, it seeps into our lives at a moments notice. We are always unprepared for what is attached to that sorrow. It pours over our emotions running like a river filling our hearts to the brim. We lay still in somber quietness trying to calm the fears and anxiety that often accompanies the dark feeling.
Our minds are free falling into an abyss that seems to have no ending. Sorrow just seems to wrap itself around our entire being holding onto us with a firm hand of steel. It can grip your heart and squeeze the very breath out of you. Sorrow at times just seems to snatch your very sense of balance.
We never know when sorrow will manifest. It comes in a wide variety of shapes and forms. Just showing up like a thief in the night, slithering all around our being and taking over without notice. We try to fight the oppressing feeling, but too often the power that it brings is over whelming.
Sometimes you just have to let go, give in to the sorrow. Emotionally even though we may not recognize this, sorrow has it's place in our lives.
We are just human, flesh and blood, living and dying at a moments notice. When nature, as God has created it works we are simply at it's mercy.
Today I feel that sorrow in the worse of ways. Somehow without notification life has come to claim another loved one. It won't come swiftly, no not at all and it shan't be welcomed. No, life as it works out is a simple rhythm of life and death, something that we all shall succumb to. It is a process none the less, but along with this even flow of checks and balances our sorrow intertwines us like a intricate spider web being spun for all to see. It catches what it needs to sustain the balance of life.
Sorrow is never easy, it bogs down our emotional state of being like the heaviest of weights. For me my only resolve for this feeling that invades my personal space is prayer. Not one to preach, I'm simply stating a view point, that when my sorrow is so heavy that I haven't enough tears to flush it from my soul then prayer is where I go.
Yes, sorrow is as much a part of who we are, but not one of us suffers alone. I pray that my sorrow will soon be replaced with the greatest amount of hope. That joy and happiness will be like the brightest sun shine on all of my days for that beloved that will be missed. Whenever I look to the heavens I only view the that place where all of our souls shall rest with rainbows aplenty.
Our sorrows are with us daily, but when the journey ends what lies ahead washes away that which has burden every soul and all will be renewed, beautiful and eternally good.
For Barbara, who helped me to understand all dreams are possible. Thank you. Sweet dreams and rainbow are yours, life renewed and beautiful, eternally.

TIME GOES BY
The days of summer are quickly coming to an end and with that the moments that have been shared with my grand daughters has come and gone.How so marvelous has been the time that I have had with them, I barely can stand for it be over. As each summer vacation comes to an end I am left realizing how quickly times goes by. It was only yesterday or so it seems that my children were swimming, running and playing in the sun. We had all the time in the world for adventure, or so it seemed. Then one day I looked up only to find that they had grown into adults. Where had all my time gone?
Now it is my grand girls that have replaced the adventures of time well spent in my life. Each summer we grow another season older, but we do together just like I did with my daughter and son. How wonderful that life can offer us another generation to share our lives, experiences and time with, laughing together in one swift second.
Life is like that, here today, gone tomorrow, somewhat of a repeat of where we have already been. Oh how sweet and marvelous has my life been so far.With a lot of praying I hope to have time still to come. Yes, time stands still for no one, but learning to value the time that we have actually does take time. One thing is for sure, until our last days on earth, times goes by and very quickly at that.
Learn to enjoy whatever time you have. Love who you share it with and savor it, nothing last forever. Memories are our keepsakes blessings always keep us going.

SPOKEN
Words spoken can not be eased, they only leave an imprint of yourself behind. There is never too much love or kindness being shared, only too little usage of them. What good is kindness and love if you don't use them well and often?
Be a friend to all, love often, be kind always and see how different our world can become. This is our first and greatest commandment. Try it you may find that life isn't so hard to bear.
Be well, live happy. :)
