Like a Well

Children are like deep wells....often flowing with water to quench their thirst however if we rely only on nature to teach them and keep them full of water then their walls can become over powered and weak and begin to crumble...its up to the ones that love them to lead by example and help them to learn as the waters rise and fall in their lives.. answer their questions and discipline with a lesson! Keep them strong! It is our responsibility...running from it...wont change the water flow..only their survival.....

Talk to the One who created this journey

Some days are better than others but when you feel all chewed up inside and hurting and searching for hope and a better day or way of life....PRAY! Even if you don't believe...is it gonna really hurt anything to just take a few moments, breath....and talk to the one who started your journey.....Think about it! After all...he will be the one deciding how the road you take next will effect your life! Give him a chance. You might find strength that you never knew you had! :)

Blessings

When you realize all the mistakes that you have made in your life....It makes you appreciate what God has blessed you with. With out our mistakes we may have never learned what having a good life really means!

Mothers

Life started the first day I felt your touch...you taught me to love, to hold and to understand another... a mothers love holds more tenderness then can ever be imagined. Just remember....that the term mother...doesn't always describe the one who gave birth to you! Thank you mom, for making me who I am!!!!!

Life holds so many ups and downs that the world can sometimes close in on you so fast. A life can be changed so quickly by the touch of another. A mother whether flesh or not has a touch for most of us to calm all fears and place us back to where we are calm and collected. For those of us who the name of mother makes us cringe then remember the voice or the touch of the one who made you stand strong but held onto who you were and what made you who you are. Its very unlikely that a person survives this world without a memory or a thought of a yet to come that can soften all their heartaches. For today......remember the good in where you came from and what holds you together. Stay focused and appreciate what God puts in front of you! You are who you are for a reason! :)

To tell someone you love them comes from the heart but to tell another that you hate them comes from the mouth of regrets! You never know when impulse makes us be haunted by stupidity of not thinking before we speak!

Love doesn't always mean being right or wrong! Its about compromising for the better good and the life ahead that you build as two! Always remember to love the one your with and to never forget that you are individuals....so having your own opinion is a blessing....however pick your moments to expression...sharing a life takes two!

At that very moment that love warms your heart....even for a brief second....you realize that living,.... is worth all the challenges that God puts before you!

Never Alone

Before my mom died when I was 21 she hugged me and mouthed the words I love you to me....That was the longest yet shortest hug she ever gave me! The moment that will live on forever in my heart when it aches for her. Moms may not always agree with us but God made them to teach us and love and comfort us...not to let us roll over them with disrespect... She will always be my friend and the true love of my life. I hope down deep that my son will always feel the same about me.

A Beginning to an End

The world has so many ups and downs to offer us in a lifetime. When in recall, a single day can hold your highest and lowest moment. To realize that we are all made different for a reason can give us so many over whelming thoughts.Why do we question not only who we are but who our neighbors or even our own children are. If we live our lives trying to decipher every trial and tribulation that God lays out before us then where is the time for us to just simply enjoy what he has given us at the moment? There will always be highs and lows...happiness and sadness. These are the emotions and challenges in our lives that keep us humble and reminds us to give what we wish to be given....a human touch....a word of encouragement to another...a smile on a cold day when we feel that we cant take on another day of misery or discussion. We learn and educate each other from what we observe around us! Someone is always watching! We find ourselves wondering why sometimes we are handed down the life that we receive but the truth is that all of us fit into a puzzle....a right and fitting puzzle...One that we belong too even when we may feel left out of place or alone.
This last year has given us so many challenges, yet the rewards for some of us for our struggles can easily be over looked. To all my friends and family that have touched my life in the last year......Thank you for loving me even at times that maybe neither one of us deserved the love and understanding. Its a special thing to love someone unconditionally and for those close to my heart...YOU ARE LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY! God has never specified who I could or should let into my life....He gave us all free will to mold our lives and to touch others as they touch us...But don't think that he isn't the orchestra behind your encounters. For many of us we may carry baggage over the years and become very tainted about some areas of life but for the most of us we know right when we see it! We know how to treat others and how we want to be treated. For this next year, for its a frame of mind and could even be for the rest of our existence, choose to be the "RIGHT" ONE to lead not follow...to stand up and not fall under pressure...to remember not only our beginning but also our end.... to show what life has to give for all those who are observing....then make a promise not only to ourselves but to the legacy of friends and family that we leave behind to make a better world to live in! To find a way to make a difference happen and mean more than just words. Be the one to smile at the person next to you even though they may be the most demised to all you know. Stop and pay it forward for what you have been given! Blessings are sometimes not immediately identified but they are there....lying beneath what yet is to be revealed. Make this next year be the Beginning to the end of your teaching others to lie dormant....Grow and stand up to offer the world around US a shape of what life has to offer! You CAN BE THE ONE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL THE AREAS THAT YOU FEEL NEED YOUR INSIGHT! GUIDE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN! THINK ON ALL THE POSSIBILITIES AND HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS AND MAKE IT A WONDERFUL NEW START TO MANY NEW YEARS! ONE VOICE......YOUR VOICE..... CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! BELIEVE A LITTLE! YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED WHAT YOU CAN DISCOVER! Remember to love often and true! I look forward to the new year and seeing what it holds for us all! Merry Christmas
