Quiet Sundays.............

I just can't say much today so this will have to say it all for me..........



Jesus loves me,
This I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.

Thoughtful Serene Sundays And His Love

"We are the clay, you are the potter. We are ALL the work of Your Hand".
~~~~Isaiah 64:8~~~~


God, don't leave.
Even if I leave you, don't leave.
Nobody can love me like you, don't leave.
Nobody can patch me like you, don't leave.

You know me
Better than I know me.
You stand beyond the reaches of my vain imagination
Yet you are near, don't leave.

God.
I know now that you are even bigger than I was taught.
I know now that I can come to you without shame.
Please help me to remember that.

Please God.

Please God help me to completely accept your love
Each and every day.
Please, don't leave me. Ever

Quiet Thoughtful Sundays: Churches and Temples

I love this montage of churches, temples and mosques. Whenever I go to another town, State or another country, the places of worship always catch my eye and attention. I always wonder what kinds of people worship in these places and what their beliefs are. I do quite a bit or reading on world religions because I find it fascinating. I enjoy reading the background of various religions whether they concur with my own convictions or not. I think sometimes that the only way that we could perhaps stop some of these holy wars is to seek to understand other peoples beliefs......maybe respect the fact that they have the right to beleive as they do and allow them to follow their own convictions. Of course, I'm not speaking of extremist groups that harm other's. I absolutely can't wrap my brain around any religion that harms other human beings in the name of God. Nothing will ever make me understand that.

Matthew Chapter 22 verses 36-39:
36: Master,which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37: Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind".
38: "This is the first and great comandment".
39: "And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself".





Wishing you an amazing quiet thoughtful Sunday.

Some Things I've Learned So Far....

Well, it's Sunday again. Time for a deep and heartfelt post I do think. You know, I may be midlife, menopausal and make ALOT of mistakes, but every day I find that I still have so much left to learn. I have so many questions about life that are still unanswered.

But still , I think that I have come a long way from that confused woman who left an abusive relationship in the middle of the night with what I could fit into an Oldsmobile not too terribly many years ago. Allowing people to treat me badly was an old pattern of mine that was hard to break. That all seems like yesterday and yet it feels like a hundred years ago as well. I would like to share a few things that I have learned thus far (which isn't very much I'm afraid)......

*15 years ago, if I had not already cried myself to sleep by 10:00 p.m. then I was having a panic attack instead......

*I strive every day to accept and celebrate the differences that we all have as
people. Before, I think I missed out on some really cool and beautiful people that
I could have gotten to know better.......

*Your children will repeat the behaviour that they learn from you because it's what they know. Trust me on this one.........

*If I love you......love me back.......isn't that the way it's supposed to work?...

*I'm just like everybody else....just trying to find my place in this world. The book "I'm Okay, You're Okay" is a book I go back to more often these days.....

*Honor what you feel, don't shove it way down deep inside. It's much easier to just
go ahead and deal with it now than later......

*I used to date guys who were probably voted "most likely to commit a felony" in my
younger days. Not the ones who merely had too many tattoo's, drank excessively or were drug dealer's...but the edgy type. I've since learned that what looks good to
you may not necessarily be good for you. The only thing I ever got from those kinds of guys were hurt feelings.........

*I don't listen to sad depressing songs about unrequited love any longer. I want to hear songs about people or love who actually made it!! Or at least something happy, uplifting or that just catches my fancy 'just because I like how it sounds'.....

*I really try to only allow myself about 30 minutes of sadness/self pity at any one time (TRY being the key word here). It doesn't change anything or help the situation. It's a waste of my energy and I have much better things to do with my time like weed my garden or sit with Prince and watch 2 1/2 men.......

*I've learned to try to have a little fun in my life and that you can't take every little thing so damned seriously all the time! Hey, try to aim a fan at someone you love and throw a little jello in it!! Trust me...a good time will be had by at least one of you. Lighten up and gift yourself with laughter......

*If Jesus can turn water into wine then just maybe he can take my mess and make a message with it.........
