excitement is in the air

Oh wow Ia m so very excited for what I have been waiting for a very long time!!!!

TEN LONG YEARS . . . YES!

Laughter that returns

Isn't it amazing how much better we "feel" after laughing?

Than why don't we apply it more often?

Hadassah made Emmalee W. smile and return a wave just last week (3-10-11) and it was precious to see. Now not a week later she's not feeling so good but I so wanted to hear her laugh again. It made me reflect once again.

So many human beings "are so, so, so . . . . so ANGRY." (Enchanted) When we look around it is true. Angry, hard, well . . . enough of that talk. Let's be people who are different. Man oh man is it easy to allow that influence around you but we don't have to. We can choose to walk away. Yes, CHOOSE to walk away. Let the joy that really is in our heart come forth and LIVE! Be the one who sees the glass "half full" not the way most see it! Let's rejoice when others rejoice, be a shoulder in time of need and then let's take a serious look at the blessings that really are around us, for there are many! Truly there is.

Hadassah and I had a grand morning. First of all we didn't get to go to church because the Lord's creation is blooming and her little body is just not strong for some reason to take on all the new growth. Allergies, possibly. Two year molars, possibly. What ever the case. we laughed today. We giggled after her two year old reaction to stopping the water too soon. Then we cuddled until she drifted to sleep. Upon working through another two year reaction we giggled again letting her "JUMP ~ MOMMY ~ JUMP!~" on my bed. We opened the blinds allowed the sun to warm us and then we both jumped like Mexican Jumping Beans giggling and jumping. Of coarse she was ON the bed and I was on the floor. Then we giggled about the book we read together and then touching her tummy talking about "Horsieeeees, Mum, Mum, Mum, HORSES!!!" We loved the time together. We peeled and orange, and we even did dishes together. All with her not doing so well. She is so precious.

I loved hearing her giggle. Just loved it! May you can enjoy a day that seemed like it could be an "Eore, kind of day" but we made the best of being together and that is what life is all about. The Blessings and the laughter that gives great returns.

So make the Best of today, we don't know if we'll have another to live or not. Take the day and Cease the opportunity laying before us. I've made plenty of mistakes lately and quite frankly it is time to look heavenward and give Him all the glory!

So do you have Laughter that returns? GO have a good day and make your day be filled with a time to rejoice, for laughter is good medicine for the soul

God Gave Me Eyes

While reading to Hadassah this is what we came across while she chided with glee, "Reeeed mommyyyyyyy, please! Read, Mommy read it!" "READ IT, READ IT, PLEEEEESE READ it!" And here is what read:

"God gave me eyes

That I might see

The wonder of a blossoming tree;

My dolly's face,

My story book,

And how the various creatures look.

God gave me ears

That I may hear

The laugh of brooklets ringing clear,

My kitten's purr,

A violin,

And Mother when she calls me in.

God gave a tongue

That I might know

The flavor of all fruits that grow,

The taste of honey,

From the bee,

And good things mother cooks for me.

I thank you, God,

For making me

So that I hear and feel and see;

And since these good things

Come from You,

I'll use them as You want me to."

My Daughter

Today is full of randomness of thought, rough draft grammar left in rough draft ramblings, my thoughts of coarse.

With All My heart I LOVE ALL FIVE of the Princesses the Lord has placed on this earth through our Family! I can not convey my deepest emotions. I have wondered about each of them from the moment of Discovery of their lives! I know that the Lord has said in one of my favorite Psalms 139 exactly how amazing they are. He created them with a Purpose. All of them are HIS MASTERPIECE, that has been granted for me to see.

I look back and reflect at how each time I saw their beautiful face as soon as I could they gave me great joy and still do. I just didn't know how we would be here today at this point and think, "where did the T - I - M - E go?" It was just "yesterday" it was revealed to me the life with in my womb. The prayers saturated over their lives from that moment on. The parenting; joy and questions and confessions of assistance from the Master, all for HIM. Yes All for HIM!

The reflection; quite B E A U T IFUL as the mirror reflects the creator. Wow, how did it come to pass that he allowed them to grace my life with theirs? Why did he trust me knowing that there would be learning curves and mistakes made while in my care? What was He granting me knowing rightfully they belong to HIM? Joy! Yes JOY! A mother's heart.

Yes there has been mistakes made along the way. Trying to be there for everything, Hugs, hand holding (and 1,2,3, squeezes), giving medications when ill, bandaging "owies", butterfly kisses, Eskimo kisses, swinging, giggling, laughing, quiet moments, tears. Hot cider, snow fun, summer camps (from VERY YOUNG ages), vacations, tanning from the sun kiss of the Lord. band, sports, chick flicks, BARNEY (I'll let you guess which one with whom), trips, Bird and the Bees (that was funny) and many "firsts". The list just goes on but it all equals L O V E that only a mommy knows. Would I do it all over again? "Yes sir Ya Betcha!" I'd do it ALL OVER AGAIN because they keep teaching me. JOY!

They are my Daughter and I have never regretted that. They are my mirror of where I need to rely on the LORD as the true reflection shows me Him and how HE NEEDS to be their reflection, My friend well that comes when He knows it is being developed from the moment they began and my heart . . . . well that is why it an emotional of the deepest kind.

Thank You Abba Father God. I guess I never really knew or understood "why" but THANK YOU, truly for allowing them to be picked out to be with me. I LOVE THEM ALL, even the one you have with you now. Thank you!

Mommy Loves You my Little WOMEN for you "ARE MY FAVORITE!!!"

A failure?

So many times people think so many obscure ideas when they "hear" the word "FAILURE" and it made me ponder, contemplate, meditate and evaluate. Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

Good Golly Miss Molly. Move!

Okay so we all have a fear of some type. That is reality. However, what we do and how we handle that failure is thought provoking. So much so that it makes fighters out of some. I have been so entrenched with my thoughts to the point of looking deep with in. To places that only the Lord is present. Praise Him for that one.

When we are babies, quite frankly with no remembrances vivid to our conscience, we seem to have "NO FEAR" and maybe just maybe that is where extreme sports selected their motto (or whom ever copy wrote the term).

FEAR.

Who? Maybe all of us really. We all deal with some type of a fear. Some very real yet for others it "feels" very real. The mind is a very powerful part of us.

What? Goodness me, there are phobias that would probably rock our boats in very tumultuous currents. Some that are so concentrated on that it enables us to the point of mere paralysis. YIKES.

Where? Physical. Emotional. Spiritual. With in us.

When? Maybe a location, a thing, a person (sounds like a noun). For many it is an action (verb) in the time continuum. Our past, present and anxiously in some of our futures.

Why? Experiential relations, emotion ties, spiritual battles.

How? Lies. Realities. To much credence to something not yet occurred.

Okay so why do I bring this up? FEARS can paralyse us, however, they don't have to. Face them. Pray through them. Dream your dreams. The majority of our fears NEVER even take place. Some are pasts clung to that inhabit us from achieving what God intended us to be. Fears however propel others to reach out and be stretched for rewards that far out weigh anything else. See God is so Amazing! I desire to work through some fears and see the rewards that the Lord has intended for me but I seemed to have "gotten in the way" because I was . . . "afraid" of _______ (fill in the blank). But Why? Maybe because we think too much.

Many of us don't want to be "a failure". So we don't take risks. Make decisions that push us through a situation. Some of us ask, "But Lord . . . . . . . . What IF I fail?" Well What if YOU/ I DON'T? Who cares what other "Unca Bubbas" tell us along our Journey, when they never even "tried". I am hear to tell you Dream your Dreams! Reach out and Achieve your childhood aspirations. TRY IT - (as long as they are moral, ethical and of integrity)!

Humanity since the beginning of time can be afraid of just about any and everything. However, individuals pressed forward and gave a way to exemplify perseverance: Thomas Edison never stopped. The Wright brothers never quit. Abraham Lincoln pressed forward. Mother Theresa gave with convictions. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak dreamed dreams and pressed on. Goodness The Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ gave unto his death, to give eternal life! What are we, am I afraid of? What? To care too much about what others might say? To fall down? To succeed? hummmmm. Dream. Reach. Stretch. Persevere. Strive forward is a key and look at your fears and FACE them head on. YOU are not a failure.

A Failure? I think not! Individuals who pushed through what others would be afraid to because they face - their FEARS! You and I are a MASTER PIECE with purpose. So go out there and BE everything the Good and Wonderful Lord intended for you to be ~ because YOU are NOT a failure! You are given life with a PURPOSE!
