A Warm Hug for You, August 31, 2008

When you are down to nothing, God is up to something - Robert Schuller

Nothing that is happening in your life can stop God's plan for you. Call out to God and believe God will hear and God will respond. God will make a way!

God bless you,

A Time of Celebration

My daughter leaves in one week for college! The past couple of weeks have been a time of roller coaster emotions. One minute I am happy for her and the next minute I am filled with tears and feeling overwhelmed. I will miss her terribly but this is her time to live her life and be happy.

My daughter and I have always been very close. This summer we have gotten even closer. I know this will not change. I have enjoyed all our talks and all the things we have done together. It is an honor to be in her presence. She is such a beautiful person, inside and out. Her heart is full of pure love, free of judgment and full of optimism. Although my eyes fill with tears, I will remember the glow of happiness on her face. I will celebrate her beauty and celebrate this time.

Dear Heavenly Father, Give all parents the strength to let go of our children. Help us to place the trust of their well being into your hands. Help us to remember that your angels surround them and You hold them in the palm of your hands. They are shielded with your love and under the protection of Your wings. Let us remember that this is a time of celebration for the beautiful people they have become and will grow to be. Hold us Lord and hold our children close to your heart, forever in Your precious love, in the precious name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Little Blessings...Lots Of Love

Little Blessings...Lots of Love, is a new outreach project that I have started. The mission of the project is "Blessing People...Blessing Animals in small ways of kindness and love. There are many ways to bless others. The blessing of a smile and a warm hug are free of material cost but are priceless to someone or an animal in need. Prayer is one of the most powerful ways you can bless people and animals.

We all have talents and gifts given to us from God. Some of us can bake. Some of us can write. Some of us can build. All of us can be kind to people and animals in small ways. If we get still before God and open our hearts, ideas will come to us. In blessing others, multitudes of blessings will fill our lives with happiness and prosperity.

May God guide each of us this day to open our hearts and reach out our hands in kindness and love.

God bless you.

Changing Seasons

The other day I got a phone call that my eldery neighbor, of whom is 96, would be moving in with his family and then on to an assisted living facility. My neighbor and I have become close friends. He is like a grandfather to me.

Although I was sad to have him leave I am glad he is in a safe place and no longer living alone. I told him I would make sure the bird feeder outside in his yard is kept full of fresh food. I also told him I would visit the other neighbor's dog that went to my elderly neighbor's house across the street every day. He was more concerned about the dog and the birds than he was of himself.

At the same time I am getting ready to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and then her high school graduation in June. She will be leaving for college to live at school in September, 2008. Although part of me is sad to have her grown up and leaving the nest soon, I am excited and happy for her. She is such a blessing and has enriched my life with overflowing joy.

Life can change in the twinkle of an eye. I am learning to focus on the present moment and wrap myself in God's joy. My eyes are learning to focus on the beauty all around me and be very grateful for all the precious gifts in my life. I go for several walks a day with my little dog and listen for the birds singing or listen to the snow crunching beneath my feet. Spring is here and the Spring birds have come back. We still have plenty of snow to melt but soon it will be time to plant flowers.

Each moment is a new beginning filled with hope and wonder. May we cherish the gift of the present moment and place it in the depths of our hearts. May we know that we are loved dearly by God and His angels. May we each know that there is a specific purpose for each person, each flower, each animal, each sunrise and sunset. May we wrap ourselves in God's joy and rest in His peace.

In God's blessings of light, love, peace and joy,
KM
