Fear and what it is not

Oh yesterday was a wake up call. The man of my earthly heart spoke from his to us all. We all have fears but we need to face them. There is only One Fear that is necessary in our life and that I will tell you about later.

Sadly before he walked out the door, her heart took a double beat, maybe skipped a beat than it may have been an irregular rhythm. What is going on? Why is it reacting like this? There is nothing to fear but we all carry them. She tried to fathom the depth of his statement. "I am coming home, then I am going to leave because I don't know how much longer I will have her." She knew how it must pain him. She grabbed him, tenderly kissed him and said a very quick prayer. Its' been three weeks in a row. Time is fleeting with the goodness still left to enjoy. A deep breath, a sigh then a small tender tear meanders once again down that Spanish cheek - there is still joy in the midst of pain, The hope for return to be sweet on both ends whom receive him. She needs them, all five of them her lover and children. Her strength for now is what is lived day by day. She is relaxing, resting her soul. He grabs his suitcase, his Taylor, and His man bag with all the reading literature along with his ultimate favorite book for strength.

He bends down, embrace her with emotion and warmth. His tender lips leave its imprint on more than her lips ~ her heart. He departs. He calls, "I need you to grab my extension for my cell." Her smile of his return and a chance to take a picture JUST BECAUSE. She feels his pain, but she is his help meet as his mate, his best Friend, his lover and remains strong. They pose for the picture but there is so much more for they are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh, they are one and now the strength of three cords is not easily broken. Although they are apart they beat as one. She will pray continuously for his travel mercies. A smile captivates her as she knows He is being carried by the most tender of all hands. He will sustain his thoughts and his heart.

Lover, I LOVE YOU - make the most of your moments for we are with you!

rain and a dream

It's raining. Fall is here. Ah, smell the fall. Pumpkins, autumn drinks, College football in the fall weather, It's raining.

The sweatshirt weather that warms the soul. A nice fleece jacket, wassail or hot cocoa, a wonderful hug from your Lover. um, Fall. It's raining today.

Dance in the rain, splash your bare feet, run to the indoors. It's Fall. Or as I used to say it Is Autumn and I enjoy this short season. It's still raining outside.

I would take tons of pictures, capture each moment to "remember" another Autumn day. It's still raining. I like rain, to dance, to run, to kiss and remember my first one with the only one I have ever kissed - all while in the rain, to hug, to remember the sweetness in the "rainy days" of my personal life. I remember a sweet rain in Wyoming with all that it brought at NebWyoDak sitting in the Rockies. Rain - is snuggle weather, a good book, a warm cup of a hot drink, sitting in your happy place. For some it is a time to take a rest and reflect. Burn a candle, light a fire pit, or ignite a chimney. It's still raining today.

Enjoy your Saturday today and if it is raining thank the good Lord of lords for giving a drink to the earth so you may enjoy His creation ~ then Dream!

Dream Big because it's raining today here my home town.

oh my heart

My mind is racing, My heart is pounding, My dreams are returning. My visions are becoming less hazy and more driven all with the reflection of a special life.

Reflection through time has come knocking on my hearts door because of Mom K's life. I have had only a short twenty five years. Why didn't I take more opportunity to _____ fill in the blank?

Why? I remember my first encounter with her and her entire family showing up at an NCC Basketball game and taking my breath away because I cared for her son, her first born. My heart accelerated at a NASCAR neck breaking speed. My body went numb and clammy all at the same time. If my glands could have went berserk it was then. They came in through those east doors entering the gymnasium; Mr and Mrs. V. Klundt, Keith, John, Julie and Keith's then "girl friend" Tabitha, who resembled me in an odd kind of way, semi look alike. I didn't know them until she said they are from out of town to see their son play basketball. I proceeded to inquire who their son was. When they announced their name I couldn't think clear let a lone give them their correct change back. YIKES, this is "his" family. The rest is history. :-) She captivated my heart when I saw her wonderfully bright blue eyes. They were a handsome family, If I could have crawled under the smallest grain of sand I would have. Then came the moment she and I had a "talk" when we were going to become "family" to ask her if I may call her "Mom K" and letting her know that I desired to call her my "Mother in LOVE." not "in - law", because I desired to have a positive relationship with her. :-) Yes it has been almost twenty five sweet memory years I have had this family as part of my hearts strings while Dad K and she: they have had forty four years testimony to marriage. Four weddings, many anniversaries, graduations of many kinds, twelve grandchildren, two grand - weddings; our life has created an incredible tapestry in our family "quilt/blanket"! Created stitch by stitch, laughter, quiet, tears, silence, in depth conversation, many "moves", surgeries, you name it we have traveled it together.

Her children can call her blessed and Can say Thank You for our life as a family. Dad and Mom K we love you! We are praying like mad for His sustaining comfort and a time to come together to live another day as a FAMILY bonded by those gentle blue eyes, touched by those soft hands, and to be here for you!

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!
