DEDICATED TO DONNA

I find this hard to write from my heart as I have been blessed with an abundance of friends in my life!! However, I have come to realize there will always be that one person that no matter how much time has passed since you last saw them, or when the last time was that you heard them speak your name...the connection you have with them has never been severed. As children, you shared so much love and devotion to creating that bond that for some lasts a lifetime. I have been fortunate to have been blessed to have this in my life. I have known Donna for approximately 43-44 years and she is more than a best friend...she is my inspiration! When I begin to feel I have nothing in my life, I start running the memories through my head of the times we spent together as young girls. Ours was not the normal baby dolls, fancy dresses and  tea parties! We survived playing baseball, riding bikes and being tom-boys!! Sure we had the typical childhood spats and sometimes knock down fights but we always resumed playing as if nothing was wrong. That was just life and it was the best anyone could ever hope to be living. I feel secure in knowing that our next 40+ years of friendship will only make us stronger.....to you Donna I Thank You for all these years of unconditional love and for the honor of being your best friend...I LOVE YOU!!

GIVE ME BACK THE PLACE I LOVE

As a child, I had visions of growing up and eventually growing old in the land of the free. I had the same aspirations for my children and there children. All that seems to be coming to a halt before my eyes. Soon, we will be known as the land of the shackled. With our hands tied behind our backs and our feet not allowed to take the steps we had once deemed possible, we will be dictated to by the "officials" our every move and the directions we can go. It will no longer be "whats for dinner" but instead "will there be dinner". No longer will we be able to defend our loved ones from intruders.

"We the people" will no longer have its significance in our system. It will no longer matter what we feel as a group but we will have 1 individual making the decisions for our nation...democracy will no longer be a word in the vocabulary that we once knew.The new word of the day will be tyranny. Any possessions we may have will become government property and will be rationed out under their guidelines.We will no longer have "our rights" as citizens of the U.S. of A. And the words of our forefathers will have been removed from our lives.

Another issue that I find quite disturbing is the fact that God will be removed from all that I know. I was raised to believe in my creator and now they want to say that it is offensive to mention God's name in any public establishment. Well, I say go ahead take my rights away, take my freedoms away, turn this great land on its side but, you cannot take away what is in my heart and you cannot control what I know or how I feel.

As a living breathing human being, it is by the grace of God that I am here and I know that I will enter through the gates of heaven free of guilt and remorse for destroying that which I have been honored to receive!!






 

HE FORGIVES US...!!

God forgives us when we sin against him so shouldn't we adhere to his ways? In my opinion, we need to accept others for their faults just as we would like them to accept us for who we are. Just a thought!! God Bless and with all my love!!

I'M HUMAN

And my views on life now come from the understanding of God's plans for each of us. If as individuals, we could regulate the paths we travel, I am not so sure any of us would burden ourselves. I feel it is nothing more than a test of our strength which builds character! We are God's awesome creation and we cannot falter...nor can we fail. God Bless you and be safe always! !

TRANSFORMATION

Although I would love to take credit for having said this, I cannot but it was a message from God that I received on Facebook today: 
     

On this day, God wants you to know

... that transformation is possible at any time. A person can transform, a situation can transform, even the planet can transform. Never lose hope. Under the proper conditions of love, faith, and belief, transformation is quite possible.

This reinforces my belief in the powers of my Lord Jesus!!

I HAVE LEARNED...

When I feel as though the burden I bare is getting to be too much I remember that there are two things I know for sure through my acceptance of God...He will never give me a load too heavy to carry nor will  He ever give me a road too long to travel. When I do start to wonder what I had ever done in my past that was so wrong that my physical disability is justified as punishment, a smile comes over my face and I just tell myself that I am one of the chosen ones. I was "hand-picked" by God to live my life this way. And, my friends, that is how I have opted to look at the whole picture...on my judgment day, I will stand proud and honored that I was given this opportunity to serve my Lord!! God Bless and be safe always my blessings!!

My Amazing Blessings

I cannot claim the inspirations for the words I write coming only from my own heart but they are spoken through the love and adoration that I have for the many blessings God has given me. Not only has he given me a beautiful family, two miraculous sons, Billy and Brian, but he has also blessed me with the most unique group of friends, all of whom without, I would not have the courage and desire to express what I feel inside. I have often asked why me...what is the reason for still existing. Then I look around and see just how far I have come and who has been there for me and helped to me get to where I am. All I can do is thank My GOD for the path chosen. They live in my heart and in my soul and we get together quite often in my dreams....again I thank GOD for my life and the beauty of unconditional love!
