WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY....


                Let go,and let God;
Let the healing begin. God’s help is needed for “heal thyself”. God has a master plan, He makes no mistakes.
    “Give me strength and wisdom” to go through!
               Let go and let God

This a poem that I wrote when I was trying to heal.  I have given to some friends I hope you can add a few lines to this poem and pass it on.





                                    My Mother Left Me!

My mother left me with tools!
        Tools to use for life. Reading, writing, praying! Tools to have and appreciate what God has helped me to obtain. “ If you do not take care of what you have, you cannot appreciate the greater things to come”.
My mother left me with examples!
        Watching mother make meals out of little or nothing to feed my bothers and myself. Examples of how treat other people like I'd wanted to be treated.
        Watching my mother “ stand fast” with a “husband. Her husband; our father, someone I could not have stayed with, but she did!  I still do not understand-but no one has to understand, he was “her”  husband.
My mother left me with an ability to create a dispencer!
        To be able to dispense  love, wisdom, protection for my children and loved ones, at needed dosage, at needed times.
My mother left me with an engraved sense of self respect.
        “A good name is worth more than silver and gold”, was one of her lines.  To be clean and presentable at all times was taught at an early age. 


When I got older, I remembered "that you are some’s mother, daughter, wife, when you step out in public". “What would people think” was concern of hers. I didn’t care! But she did!, so I learned care!

        I am discovering every day new “stuff” my mother left me with.  Almeta finally let me use the things she left me on September 21, 2000 245AM.


        I pray that you will start discovering treasures that was left for you to use daily.

                                               RENEE EMILY


                   ADD TO THE LIST AND PASS IT ON!



PEACE IN YOUR LOVE ...

AGING...


As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
 
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
 
Whose business is  it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.
 
I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.
 
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.
 
Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
 
I  am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
 
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.
 
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).

PILOT TO TOWER PILOT TO TOWER THE LEFT ENGINE IS SMOKING AND SPUTTERING, IT TOO IS ABOUT TO GO OUT!" "TOWER TO PILOT, TOWER TO PILOT REPEAT AFTER ME 'OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN'...=)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

I want to take time out to wish each and everyone a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! To those of you who single handed raised their children, I commend you. Those who helped raised other people children, I take my hat off.
....To the women who had to be the mother and try to be "father" blessing to you and me as well..
Today I dropped some refreshments at the church for today's event and decided to stay home.
I wanted to get out of the way to give my seat to someone who may need it...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
