selfless love

Love is a wonderful heart issue. True Love is the BEST! True love doesn't politic for ones affections. It is patient! It is amazing how many times I see individuals who are so impatient with finding value by trying to make another think that they "love" them. It is rather sad really. Love is amazing~ that is action, not verbal ques to change or cloud ones thinking out of envy and jealousy. See I know many individuals who truly share LOVE correctly because it is a heart issue of sincere motives. Not presumptuous or flirtatious or wrong motive bearing or gossiping with evil intent. Let me illustrate it this way.

Fill in the Blanks with your personal name which is really where the word LOVE is exemplified.

____ is PATIENT,
____ is KIND,
____ does not envy,
____ does not boast,
____ is not proud.

____ is not rude,
____ it is not SELF-SEEKING,
____ is not easily angered,
____ keeps NO RECORD of wrongs,
LOVE, ____does not delight in evil but REJOICES with the TRUTH.
____ ALWAYS PROTECTS, always TRUSTS, always HOPES, always PERSEVERES.

LOVE never fails! Did you get that? If someone vies for your affections or heaven forbid we ourselves vie for another' out of selfish ambition, is that not self seeking? Or when one of the opposite sex tries to influence another to look elsewhere - (like at themselves)? hum . . . why not lean FULLY on the LORD? Because he really is true LOVE and when we capture His fullness, LOVE overflows from the abundance of our own hearts because of him living in us!

My Marmie (Mommy) is a HUGE example of this amazing example of LOVE to everyone around her ~ and I mean EVERYONE! Emily Hope since very, very young exemplifies Christs' LOVE amazingly. Mom K, has been one who lives this kind of LOVE as one example. There are many, many others I can think of who are this same epitome of illustration of TRUE and REAL LOVE. Slow, patient, long suffering, giving knowing it may not be returned or it can not be repaid, but love matters regardless with no inward expectation of "what about my needs." YES, These three are those who come to mind right off the bat, because their lavishing ways of compassionate selfless LOVE is sweet and they Love without reciprocal ambitions.

So if there is an individual who gives with expectation to receive immediate attention, don't bleed to death but . . . maybe, just maybe, it is time to evaluate TRUE LOVE through the eyes of CHRIST and LOVE as HE LOVES and live by EXAMPLE and bleed for LIFE!

can you hear a beat?

My Spaniard ways are so embedded with the love for music. The music in my soul lately makes me enjoy the moment(s) captured in the Here and Now. My soul yearns to cry out to the wonderful Creator of ALL beings and things! He spoke it, I am in AWE of it, my head swims in wonder, my soul yearns for Him.

To sing, to hum, to laugh, to cry, to dance, to sway, to saunter, to be still, to listen, to remember, to DREAM my soul sings ALWAYS! Whether in celebration or in sorrow, whether in the quiet moment of a breath or the crazy fun ornery me that makes me, my soul sings. The rhythm of life creates a wonder of PRAISE. Planting my everything with each little echos called my life. While I pray I hear music. While reading I hear the music. While typing I hear the music. While visiting with those so dear to me in one beautiful way or another I hear music. Why? Simply because it makes me sit in His presence EACH moment KNOWING that he hears my music. He has my name engraved in the palm of his hand and He KNOWS my songs playing in my heart. Songs quiet, songs soft, songs loud he hears my tempo, my beat, my signature in every measure. He accepts each note and makes my life the masterpiece for His GLORY. It is like two of my favorite movies - The Mission with Robert D. and August Rush the music is all around.

My precious Lover, Thank you for the music. Girls, our little women, Thank you for the music. My Marmie and Daddy Thank you for the music. Dad and Mom K Thank You for the music. To all my siblings, bloodlines and Christ lines, Thank You for the music. My family in Christ, Thank You for the music. Those I have yet to meet, Thank you for the music yet to be played for I am already humming to the tune anticipated. And to the Alpha and Omega, My Abba Father God Thank YOU for being the creator and Conductor of the ORCHESTRA~ I swell with LOVE when I hear you play the masterpiece of a SYMPHONY.

ramblings of a tear

The moisture slowly leaves and gently cascades its' way down the weather worn face like a slow motion picture capturing the deep brownish embers that gaze in reflection of the wonder years. The wells from those warm almond eyes known as her windows to the soul, her very being; contemplate an outcome. "All for your glory" echoes the voice deep with in, yet the heart still aches. Aches to say, "come to my hearts home; just say the word and your healing will be thy will". Truth, Belief in the perfection of the answer, acknowledging it is okay to let it fall on the behalf of those whom are LOVED.

A salty stain leaves its evidence like a dried river carved in a muddy ravine after it has dried, evidenced by its path. The sun kissed cheek, the prominent Spanish cheekbones like a soft cliff tell of the thought behind each salty white path. It is laden with emotion, embedded with memories, showing a trail on an others' behalf. Quandaries ebb and flow freely at will.
Contained,
unrestrained,
rapidly and then
at a snails pace another soft tear finds its escape route. Peace enters the scene filled with child like questions. "Can I take away their hurt?" "Why do people in their fast paced life, not just treat others the way they would like to be treated?" The old adage of the "golden rule" is somewhat not practiced as frequently as it used to be. From those in the medical profession to those incredible individuals with extraordinary I.Q.s then to the common lay person; if we could be a servant wouldn't we all like to know of what true LOVE is?

My soul yearns for mankind to come to know the greatest gift to ever be had. Life eternal with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. "We live, we Love . . ." or at least we should in a way that reflects HIM~ Yahweh, the I AM. I now realize each tear, each heart beat, each thought, each prayer, each action is a reflection of the one who is and should be living with in me no matter what ~ with true integrity. I have the desire for others to not perish. I so want people to KNOW the way to Joy. And it has all taken place due to two recent situations with loved ones that I realize no matter the cost, the reality of the world and it's cruelty, we all need to fully depend on The Savior.

To extend hope to the hopeless. Love to everyone and the ability to keep loving even when it is hard and undeserved. Perseverance when others quit, and a tenacious focus to reach as many as possible with THE absolute truth shared in love; to reach out to a world that needs it and may turn away, to the very end.

To all my loved ones, "keep on keeping on! PRESS ON until the day of completion the Joy set before you striving for the goal which matters above all. Push through and share the gospel. For in HIS wonderful T - I - M - E all things will come to pass." We must enter through the narrow gate that leads to life, and be a trail blazer to show the truth, the way and the light to the one who gives LIFE and true freedom from bondage.
