Rainbow Palette


A bank of flowers...
The birds are singing...
The warm sun beckons you to spend time outside...
Take a walk...
Ride your bike...
Pick wild flowers and put them in a beautiful vase...
The world is a rainbow palette...
Don't miss it!
Go outside and soak it all in.
Let your creativity flow freely...
Become enchanted with life.
Magical ambience is all around you.

Quiet Time


Of all the wonderful things in the wonderful universe of God,
nothing makes my heart sing,
like time spent with grandangels...
Is there anything more soothing
than an afternoon nap with a baby?
Such peaceful, blessed quiet time with my angels...
I love snuggling with them,
telling stories, and watching them as they drift off to dreamland...
"It is the simple things of life
that make life worthwhile,
the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty,
work and rest
and living close to nature."
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Thus, simple as a little child,
we learn a home is made from love.
Warm as the golden hearthfire on the floor.

Collecting Thoughts


If you have people in your life to love, you are rich...
Slow down and enjoy the simple things in life...
Know what to ignore...
Recognize your gifts...
Take nothing for granted...
In everything give thanks...
Stop complaining...let it be a reminder to give thanks for all that is right...
Choose your battles...
A bulldog can whip a skunk any day of the week, 
but sometimes it's just not worth the stink...
The best strategy is to take a step back,
draw a deep breath and say, 
"What truly matters here?"
Proverbs 20:3  Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor...
Make your home a place of peace...
We all have a direct connection to God...
Laugh like a child...
Proverbs 17:22...A happy heart is good medicine,
and a cheerful mind works healing...
Smile, and the world smiles with you...

Perseverance



Consider it pure joy,
whenever you face trials of any kind,
because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work
so that you may be mature
and complete,
not lacking anything...
James 1:2-4

Blessings of Perseverance
Get up and carry on...
There is work to do,
and joy in faith...
I claim peace, order, grace and favor...

Be Silent



Shhhhh...
Listen...
Be silent...
When you think you don't have time for meditation,
yoga,
quiet,
silence...
that is when you need it most.
How can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice...
the one that melts the soul,
when you are making so much noise...?
Be silent and God will speak again.

Run If We Must





Run If You Must
Half the joy of life is in little things taken on the run.
Let us run if we must...
but let us keep our hearts young and our eyes open
that nothing worth our while shall escape us.
And everything is worth its while
if we only grasp it and its significance.
Charles Victor Cherbuliez
