My Prayer Today...

Today my prayer consisted in simply going to my heart and remembering all the folks I've stored there. It is not cold storage. It is a quite warm and tender place.


-- Sr. Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB Tree Full of Angels

Love, straight from the heavens....

Wow. What more can I say?

TREASURES GATHERED ON THE JOURNEY...

* Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

* Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can carry easily.

* Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.


* Don't be afraid to encounter risk. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

* Don't be afraid to admit you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

* Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

* Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or future. By living our life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

* Don't take for granted the closest things to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

A WOMAN OF STRENGTH...

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
but a woman with strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything…
but a woman with strength shows courage in the midst of uncertainty.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her...
but a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks sure footedly...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face...
while a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

What Is Your Life Path Number?

Dreamin'

She hadn't seen him in almost six months and although the face in the dream wasn't exactly as she remembered, she knew, without doubt, that it was him. His voice was the same--- a sensuous and masculine tone falling somewhere between the sound of a poet and smooth brandy falling over ice. And the touch of his hand was one that she would know anywhere. It was the same touch that made her think she felt the earth move once upon a time in that quaint little mountain village.
For some reason she knew it was a dream---maybe because in the back of her sleeping mind she knew that it couldn't be real because, for the time being, he had drifted from her life. There really is a strangeness to dreams you know. Nothing really seems familiar, yet, in your spirit, you know where you are and why you are there. So they walked and talked and laughed and held hands and spoke to one another with their eyes, their voices and their touch, each suggesting to the other that they shouldn't have wasted so much time apart and maybe, if they tried, they could get back together and recover the sacred bond they had once shared. Together they thanked God for favoring them with one more opportunity because, in all sincerity, their meeting really did feel like a 'God thing.'
But dreams have a peculiar way of taking on a life of their own and although you try to control the dream it sometimes veers off into the unknown and nothing that follows goes down any predictable path. But something about this dream seemed mighty familiar and as she awakened she thought to herself, 'I think I have had that dream many times before...' She stared into the dark and wished she could go back to sleep and dream some more. How wonderful it was to see him and feel him and hear his voice once again.
Thank you, God, for dreams.

.....I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. Numbers 5:13
