I came online today
to find the words to say
You helped me. Thank you.

Our words reveal what’s in our hearts. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. He who guards his mouth preserves life. Words give Grace to those who hear. The tongue of the wise brings healing. Joyce Meyer gives the best full discussion of actions and consequences of our spoken words.
What power am I exercising today?
Proverbs 12:18 James 3:5 Psalm 141 Proverbs 18:21 etc etc not called The Book of Life for nothing! Rash and harmful words bring harm to the one spoken to…. Some of the worst persecution I have received has been from other believers.
And.. who have I hurt with my words? Hurt people hurt people. Prayers for strength in awareness in my words and voice tone: to be uplifting, positive, truthful in love. #fast #guilty #forgiven
With the upcoming New Year and my awareness of the word storms around me (and within me) I am narrowing my focus and paying more attention to the unspoken and spoken.
* This morning in my meditation I read that everyone will give an account and the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
Fortunately we have phases, opportunities and choices to make amends for words spoken from our own pain – for some it may not necessarily be careless but very much intentional… following that verse I also read that it is also by our words- we will be acquitted and ….”

It is good.
Hello yeah. It’s been awhile.
Stopping by to wave to my wordpress buddies and share real quick update. 😀
My Life parallels to this recent creation:
These corks:
- were initially part of a different plan #2015 #sharethebottlenottheglass
- existed in a somewhat dark place for a seemingly long time
- boiled in hot water and their boundaries have expanded to bring roughness yet, beauty
- connected to others
- stick together with those having similar goals 😀
- Hanging out
- provide a frame for some green beauty
- repurposed
- redeemed
- valued
- priceless #notforsale
- I can see why He’d rest and say It Is good
Soul Lover
Author unknown – my title while grieving – someone else’s words
When we lose someone we love
The loss too great too bear
God sends us folks to comfort us
who show He deeply cares
In darkest hours of the night
No one else around
At our sad loneliest place ~
it’s there, God’s love is found
Like a soothing healing balm
To aid are busted hearts
Warm oil pours o’er our soul
touching every part
Rest secure in His love
Know He’s by our side
Holds us even though He knows
a part of us has died
Oh yes of course He hears us
When we first just want to talk
But when we shed those ugly tears
He listens; doesn’t balk
He is always very near
Arms open ready wide
As we pour out our hurt within
He pours His love inside
Our Father loves us oh so much
Never leaves us alone
He won’t forsake us in our need
to face this on our own
He comforts us and strengthens us
massages with his balm
As the dawn breaks through the night
we’re wrapped in loving calm

Let it Rain
The music of the morning rain
just beyond my window pain
massaging the land with repetitious splashes of moisture.
Varying degrees of timbre and pitch
a choral cacophony
Fitting that nature should join my hearts phrase
Memories echo of long ago days
How many gallons have poured from the sky?
Can you pay that water bill? Neither can I…
Picking up pieces just tears of my heart
placing them down again,
oh where do I start?…
What’s about this paradigm of a need to say goodbye
Why?
he never did,
why should I?
it used to have us complain “you never say good-bye”

I’m glad it rained on this anniversary of your passing. #breathe
