GRATITUDE FOR ALL
PRAYERS ANSWERED, AMEN!
MY ANGELS SING WITH JOY
My heart swells with pride!
It dwells in a place unknown.
I rely on faith.
A silent prayer for a loved one that needs healing.
Yes, I believe in Santa.
Don’t ask me why?
I love his red cheeks,
his jolly and heartfelt chuckle,
and chubby belly held up by a great big buckle.
Although you may think
I am a little too old,
I still believe in Santa Claus
truth be told
when it is time for him to appear
with his beautiful sleigh and gracious reindeer
it is also the time
that people seem to smile a little bit more
and some folks are kinder than ever before
Everything seems to be so much brighter
and the hugs that I get are a little bit tighter.
It is a time for family to get together
It is a time when even the sick feel a bit better
Yes, my dear grandson, I still believe in Old St. NIck!
I believe I once saw him climb down a chimney made of red brick.
Someone tried to convince it was all just a trick
But the joy and the comfort that happens to be
during this time of year is the best; Don’t you agree?
So, I tell you believe me
for remember it happens to be
the celebration of the birth of Jesus
and other holidays as well
when people no matter where
they may be from
celebrate love, peace
and they all seem to know
that when you believe
Who knows what miracles, together we can achieve.

Let Life find you
Let life find you.
To work its miracles
As you learn to grow
A kind and fine heart
So that others feel joy in living.
Let life find you
Living the life
A life that is squeezable
Like a ripe orange
Fresh and juicy
providing pure energy.
Let life find you
looking at yourself
In the mirror
see the magnificence
of His image in you.
Let life find you
Ready to stand up and deliver
Willing if need be
To sacrifice for a cause
live with purpose
Let life find you
Dancing, laughing, and singing
In the rain
Drenched in happiness
and fulfillment
Let life find you
Breathing heavily;
Feeling the warmth of the sun
Caressing your skin.
Feel life happening to you.
Make every minute count
In multiples of ten and then some.
Look at the views
how plentiful
and beautifully designed by
the creator of all.
And inhale deeply every chance
you get.
Watch your chest rise with
each breath.
Notice its perfection.
Listen carefully
to your heart beating away
marking time faithfully.
Let life find you living
as if it were your last day on earth.
Life is too short my friend;
Life is just too short.

Some would call her a little slow;
others never labeled her but
just accepted her “as is”.
Today I discover we are all wrong.
I found that in her heart lives a song
to be played and registered as an opus
announcing an intelligence
unknown to us
the ones who know it all.
Her insight blinded
by our failure to see the truth
hidden in her gentle soul.
From her I learn
humility and the meaning
of unconditional love
and compassion.
A lesson I will never forget.
An angel appears
so does a miracle
Happy mums blossom
