I Remember Mother’s Love

It was mother’s love that made our house, a happy home.

I remember the kindness, and loving care of our mother

who took good care of our needs, and those of many others.

During the storms of life, it was our mother’s love, that warmed our hearts and gave us hope to hold onto  our dreams, and keep the faith and endure the storm.

“This too shall pass." she said. "Be strong, God will see us through this storm.” Mother’s prayers and her love, guided us when we were away from home.

She taught us to be brave and strong.
Her prayers, kept us safe from harm during the storms, when we were away from home.

On holidays and Sundays at the dinner table;
I will always remember the laughter, during our conversations about past events and picnics;
and the things we shared during the delicious meals we prepared.

When friends and others met my mother at public outings, they showed her great respect.
She was greeted with lots of hugs and handshakes with warm and kind words of,
“Thank you mam, for all the good things you do. I just wanted to say, I love you.”

This is the legacy of my loving mother.
Her precious memories and love will always be within my heart.
And her spirit will never depart.

In honor of all mothers on this special day

Happy Mother’s Day

Love Is Not a Game

Being in a relationship with the person you don’t love, simply for the mere sake of having someone in your life; to fulfill your needs is wrong. This is selfish and uncaring behavior toward another human being, who has emotions.

This is a player’s game.  And such game is a gamble. Someone always get hurt.

Remember, No one wants to be played for a fool. The players will lose.

One wish

One Wish

If I had one wish

I would wish for many more.

One wish would be to have you beside me throughout eternity.

With my wishes;

We would travel from sea to sea,

just you and me;

visiting all the  places we want to see;

having fun as never before, and loving each other forevermore, throughout eternity; just you and me.

Separation in A relationship Between Couples

A relationship without a commitment, is not a serious one.

Some people say separation in a relationship strengthens it. To deliberately separate yourself, from the person you are in a relationship with raises the question on commitment.

Stand Up For Something!

"When you take a stand against injustice that has been inflicted upon 

innocent people, there will be those who will hate you for it."

__Ellen J. Barrier

The laws of justice are as strong as the characters of men and women who create them. And of those who enforce them.

When we stand up for something to defend it against injustice; there will be others who will resist us.

And there will be those who will want to keep things as they are that they have benefited from.  Regardless, of how it has hurt others, they see justice in it for themselves, and will fight to hold-on to it.

All of the great men and women that came before us, have paid a great price for standing up and speaking out against injustice treatment of innocent people, including Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If the people did it to these great men and women, they are certainly going to go after everyone who stands up against injustices.

Quotes from others:

 “You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something.” ― Eminem     

The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.

~ William James

As we continue on our journey within this path for peace with our neighbors regardless of their nationality, sexual agenda, economical status, religious beliefs, denomination, or whatever our difference of opinions with each other might be; God loves us all, and he will judge each of us by his standards, and not by the laws of man.

Dancing in the Rain During a Storm

The individuals who look for ways to avoid focusing on the storm, and the destruction it left behind, but rather on a greater future, can dance in the rain, during the storm.

Such individuals have learned to endure and persevere through the storms of hardships. They are those who possess happiness.

"Happiness is when the body, mind, and soul experience a sense of complete wholeness."

Happiness is never found in materialistic things; it exists in things that cannot be physically possessed. Therefore, happiness is priceless. It can never be purchased.

The Storms of Life

During the hardships of life that attacks unexpectedly, upon all human beings; There are those who believe in a spiritual force that is higher, who has all power and authority over every situation; in his wisdom, they place their trust.

Therefore, they are much stronger than the hardships they encounters. This allows them to search for new ideas, and to find new ways to improve their life. They don’t stop and wait for life to get better; they persevere in spite of the difficulties they face.

They keep working despite the hardships; to find ways to make their life better, during the attacks they encountered. They set a goal before them for each attack they encountered.  Due to the way they chose to deal with the hardships they encounters, their goals are victorious ones.

*Because they never stop to focus on the negative, but rather the positive, they are able to enjoy life.

Regardless of the attack, which may be upon one’s health, finances, personal life, or whatever the hardship maybe, that is as challenging as any storm that leaves destruction within its path, the individual who look for ways to avoid focusing on the storm, and the destruction it left behind, but rather the future, can dance in the rain, during a storm.

The Just and Righteous Judge

Ellen J. Barrier

                                 

The Just & Righteous Judge (King James Bible; Psalm 82)

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Arise O God, judge the earth:

for thou shall inherit all nations.

My Thoughts:

Those who sit in power, and use their skills to deceive, manipulate, and cause harm to others, will be judged by God, the one and only powerful source who has the authority over all nations and people to render his judgment upon those who have wrongfully treated innocent people; while they profited and glorified themselves in riches and wealth, and powerful positions through greed and pride, having no conscious of the evil acts they committed.

There are people who are homeless, hungry, falsely imprisoned, finances destroyed, because of wickedness that lies in places where justice should have been upheld. And there are others whose characters have been assassinated by lies. Innocent people have been killed because of hate. There are some cases that have been tried in our court system, that have allowed guilty people to go free. And there have been innocent people who have been found guilty by the same court system and imprisoned.

The leaders who sit in the temples of worship, committing sin and condemning others, have no shame and no conscious of the evilness they have committed against those who they should have held a high moral standard of spiritual leadership to follow; have caused many to turn away from religion, and those who follow their leadership to sin against God, and his people, while they continue to enjoy their luxurious life styles and high positions.

Spiritual leadership, is the head of our nations. When it is corrupt, the other leadership positions are deeply affected; this weakness that is at the top, enters into other leadership positions and become rooted and spreads throughout the justice systems and into every system and branch in society, corrupting the minds of our young and older people causing them to commit wrongful acts without a conscious.

Always Loving and Missing You

Sandra Chapman

                                                  

Our first date was Feb. 5, 1989, Sunday,

Meeting you was like meeting a best friend for life,

We talked for hours on end enjoying each others company,

Your persistent personality won me over with laughter,

Only after two weeks of dating I fall in love with you,

You made it impossible not to love you with all my heart.

On this day Aug. 19, 1989 we were married,

Starting a life together meant a lifetime of love that was to last,

For twenty-one years, four months and four days of happiness,

My life with you was an honor, joy, and a blessing beyond compare,

People ask, "When is the honeymoon over between you two?"

Your replied, "Why should it ever end? I'm having too much fun."

Our love for each other was imperishable to the end of your life,

Our love will continue through to life everlasting with The Lord,

Above all miracles knowing we'll be together throughout eternity,

Not as husband and wife, but as brother and sister in Heaven,

For we are not given in marriage as we know it to be on earth,

Living eternity with The Lord is all we'll ever need.

For now I'm left here to carry on without you by my side,

It's hard to except this reality as the days continue on,

There are days when I cry uncontrollable because I miss you so,

The thought of not see you each day makes me feel weak-hearted,

The daytime hours aren't so bad but the nights are wearisome,

Adapting to grief with God's help has given me courage to go on.

The last time we spoke to each other was on courage to go on,

Not really understanding why at the time what was to be,

The dream I had didn't make sense to me until you were gone,

I’ll always remember your loving smile and those big blue eyes,

Your love for me show each day for twenty-one years plus,

Always loving and missing you to the end of time and eternity.
