a beautiful service at Rutherford Co. Cemetery
to hear
Vember Allred Quinn
to hear
music
to feel
memories

to remember
the doves release
to taste
the prayers
to smell
the 1000's of flowers
to understand
the loss
to celebrate
the lives

there is power in forgiveness

 
Dear Lord
Help us go through life’s challenges, the ones that nearly break us and make us strong.
Give us your divine strength to keep us solid in our beliefs.
Guide us in our decisions and choices to keep us close no matter what happens.
Show us the power of our faith.
Help us understand forgiveness as a virtue.
We long to be in the center of you love and your will.
We strive to be your hands and voice in this hurting world.
We plead for understanding and surrendering to all you want us to be.
In Christ’s holy name,
Amen.
 
Forgiveness frees us from burdens we don’t even know we carry. (Upper Room)

God can take the blues away


Don't you know? Haven't you heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God;
he created all the world.
He never grows tired or weary.
No one understands his thoughts.
He strengthens those who are weak and tired
.
Isaiah 40:28-29

I found much love from my Christian family.

God loves us too.

My life is blessed.

I have much to share.

God continues to give me more than I deserve.

He expects me to offer some to others.

Last Mother's Day with and without


 


My mom is gone but will never be forgotten. I visit with her daily. She's only a thought away.
I still love you mom and always will. One day we will be together again.
 
Mother’s Day:

 A day of special honor to all the mother’s in our lives-past present and future.
 
Actual moms.

Friend moms.

Sister moms.

Grand-moms.

Great grand-moms.

Mr. Moms.

Aunt moms.

Biological moms.

Foster moms.

Adopted moms.

We could not be who we are without all these wonderful moms in our lives.

Thank you moms!

Thank you God for our Moms.

Bless them all.

questions from the heart


When O Lord?

Can I make it through?

How O Lord?

Can I stay strong?

Who O Lord can help?

Can you?

Foolish questions.

I know you can.

The Lord will life my burdens.

He alone is my Saviour.

The Lord will take my pain.

He alone is my healer.

The Lord will turn my despair into grace

He alone is my mercy.

Fear is wasted energy
Anger is lost passion
Resentment steals power
 
Grace rains in torrents
Blessings pile up to the windows
Joy is a lovely flower garden of life
 
Mercy covers my head
Love fills my heart
Faith leads the way

Words are so amazing and can do so much.
They can drag us down.
They can lift us up.
 
Words are so important and needed.
They can confuse us.
They can shepherd us.
 
Words are so awesome and a real blessing
They can weaken us.
They can strengthen us.
 
Words are so meaningful (no pun intended) and essential.
They can misinform us.
They can teach us.
 
Words are so precious and valuable.
They can give us headaches.
They can give us relief.
 
Words are God’s gift to us all.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

a favorite verse



we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed  2 Corinthians 4:7-9
