New chapters?

The world tells you to keep writing new chapters in life…

…sometimes

it’s ok to sit back and re-read the chapters

you have already written.

Where Does My Strength Come From?

Where Does My Strength Come From?

True strength is measured not by physical abilities,

but it is measured in the heart

Are you strong enough…

…to speak only kindness
…to not strike back
…to protect
…to forgive
…to share
…to love
…to die
I know such a man,
an eternal friend,
He asks nothing in return except that I love Him.
Peace.

Stop the Glorification of Busy…

IMG_5870

Busy is not important
Busy is not powerful
Busy is not successful
take time to be still
take time to pray
take time to love
Stillness is important
Praying is powerful
Loving is successful.

It’s Easier to be Nice ❦

IMG_8177

I was yelled at, swore at and called profane names by a complete stranger the other day.

Why? …

Because I stopped to make sure that all of the children that got off of a school bus had safely crossed the street.

I was dumbfounded.

On so many levels this behaviour baffles me.

Was this man in such a hurry that those extra 20 seconds were going to change his life?

Is he so important that the death of a nation rests upon his shoulders?

Is he that entitled that he feels no one else has the right to be on the same road as him?

How does someone become such an angry individual?

What man yells profanities and calls a woman names like that?

What man treats another man’s wife that way?

What man yells at a child’s mother like that?

It is in the news more and more. Men punching women in the face, men physically and verbally abusing women.

What is happening?

Men are supposed to honour and uphold women, and women are supposed to honour and respect men.

If you know a man like this, I would ask you to help him. Help him find his way back from the violence and hatred, even if that requires calling the police and reporting him.

I did.

I pray he finds the help he needs to live a happier life.

Distance or Absence?

IMG_5593It is not

distance

that causes a heart to ache,

but

absence.

Real Change

IMG_4525
At some point in life,

you realize…

real change in this world

will come through people who are

honest,

kind,

loving

caring;

Not

people who are

cynical,

angry,

spiteful

afraid.

Boundaries

IMG_5369

With each technological leap forward…
electricity
automobiles
computers
landing on the moon
the internet
…humankind has expanded its boundaries.
It is important to remember…
as with children on a playground…
with expanded boundaries comes
increased responsibility.

Currency of choice….

Aging Gracefully

Money is a fickle form of measure.

Memories are my currency of choice.

Shared, they multiply.

Given and received, they are far more valuable than money.

In the end memories are the only thing that truly matter…

The ones you take with you on your journey, but more importantly the ones you leave behind for loved ones to share.

Raising a Son

IMG_0652

Raising a son is like

Rocks

&

Roses.

Teach him to be strong and firm, to provide a solid foundation for those who love and need him.

The Rocks

Teach him to be full of gentleness and kindness, and not fear beauty, to be brave enough to open up his heart.

The Rose

These sons will become the fathers and husbands our world needs.

The prodigal sons who will go out and find their way in life,

The Rocks

Then, they will return home to their families… stronger, wiser and full of love.

The Rose
