#4. An Angel Says...You Must Live in Peace

If we could remember this in times of trouble,

The peace would come to not only others,

but also to ourselves.

So with my morning tea, I believe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUG! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE 8!

My granddaughter had a birthday this week!

Time flys when you're having fun...

Leila took this picture of herself. 

She's quite a camera bug.

I found this poem on the web and it is so fitting for today.

"Little Girls"

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs
And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow
And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls
And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,
And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

#3. An Angel Says...It Is Critical

How more critical than now!

It is sad to see our world becoming so violent.

No respect for life, no caring thought.

I pray there are still MANY out there that want peace.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and

supplication with thanksgiving

let your request be made known to God.

Here's to your health!

HAPPY 81st BIRTHDAY, MOMMA

My lovely mother is having a birthday this week.

I wanted to take the time to wish her a very

HAPPY Birthday.

All that I am or hope to be I owe to my mother.

She is always very patient and kind.

She's a very strong willed woman.

Very determined!

But stubborn at times. LOL!

I could always see the calm in her eyes

for she was never in for dramatics.

(My poem tells a lot about her eyes.)

She exhibits a gentle strength,

a rare patience, discipline, 

deep underlying strength (which always amazed me)

and steadfast persistence.

She is always very serious about her family.

She loves us all very deeply

and has always been a solid rock and

has built a firm foundation that we can rely on.

I love her very much.

Dear Sweet Momma,

Here's to your health!

The Power of the Flower

Do you remember the days of Flower Power? Young people running around with flowers in their hair, sticking stems of flowers down the barrels of rifles of our soldiers in our streets? I was reflecting back on those days, not that I was a flower child, but young people were doing whatever they could to try and bring back some peace to our Nation. There were even songs written about them. Well, I got to thinking about the power that the flower has over us and wrote this little poem.

#2. An Angel Says...Peace Starts

I dearly love 'An Angel Says' sayings. They are uplifting and can give you food for thought. With the happenings that are going on in our world today, I thought this one to be very appropriate.

We all come to this world for a reason. Maybe it's to develop

and strengthen the fruits of our spirit, like love, peace, kindness,

patience, joy, and even self-control. And maybe even to help

develop those fruits in others. I do believe that all people were

to come to this earth to become more Christ-like, but most are

taken by sin and not by the Spirit.

(Romans 8: 5 -

Those who live according to the sinful nature

have their minds set on what that nature desires;

but those who live in accordance with the Sprirt

have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.)

So take the advice of the Angel and BE that person

that brings peace to this world.

Here's to your health!
