"How many years of beauty do I have left?
she asks me.
How many more do you want?
Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.

When you are 80 years old
and your beauty rises in ways
your cells cannot even imagine now
and your wild bones grow luminous and
ripe, having carried the weight
of a passionate life.

When your hair is aflame
with winter
and you have decades of
learning and leaving and loving
sewn into
the corners of your eyes
and your children come home
to find their own history
in your face.

When you know what it feels like to fail
ferociously
and have gained the
capacity
to rise and rise and rise again.

When you can make your tea
on a quiet and ridiculously lonely afternoon
and still have a song in your heart
Queen owl wings beating
beneath the cotton of your sweater.

Because your beauty began there
beneath the sweater and the skin,
remember?

This is when I will take you
into my arms and coo
YOU BRAVE AND GLORIOUS THING
you’ve come so far.

I see you.
Your beauty is breathtaking."

Shelters

I believe that (any) city/state that is known for having tornado's should have at lease 2 or more shelters (per city limits) for their citizens who are living in their communities and supporting their towns with jobs and paying their tax'es.

I also believe that any & (all) RV's parks and Mobile Home parks be required to have a shelter for their citizens living in their parks and so forth

Just Checking In

A Minister passing through his church
In the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
To see who come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
And a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw the man
Hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was torn and shabby,
And his coat was worn and frayed,
The man knelt down and bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.
.

In the days that followed at precisely noon,
The preacher saw this chap,
Each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
With robbery a main fear,
.

He decided to stop and ask the man,
'What are you doing here?'
The old man said he was a factory worker
And lunch was half an hour
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.
I stay only a moment
Because the factory's far away;
As I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:

.

'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS BEN,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'

.
The minister feeling foolish,
Told Ben that it was fine.
He told the man that he was welcome
To pray there anytime.
'It's time to go, and thanks,' Ben said
As he hurried to the door.
Then the minister knelt there at the altar,
Which he'd never done before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
As he met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed down his cheeks,
He repeated old Ben's prayer:

.

'I JUST CAME by TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'
.

Past noon one day, the minister noticed
That old Ben hadn't come.
As more days passed and still no Ben,
He began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about him,
Learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.
.

The week that Ben was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles and joy contagious.
Changed people were his reward.
The head nurse couldn't understand
Why Ben could be so glad,
When no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.
.

The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends had come to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Ben spoke up
And with a winsome smile;
'The nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
He's been here all the while.'
Everyday at noon He comes here,
A dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down and takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
.

'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, BEN,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN .
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS
AND I LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
AND SO BEN, THIS IS JESUS,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY .'
.

If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people
will walk in and out of your life, but only
true friends will leave footprints/heartprints 
in your heart
.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand
And Angels watch over you..

So, FRIEND, this is ME ...

Christmas Kisses-N-Snowflakes

I wish I had know about this when our children and grandchildren were young, what wonderful memories we could have made.
This is such a great Idea, I plan on doing this for Christmas from this year (2018) forth...

A precious lady told me she and her children make snowflakes out of paper, add glue and glitter, when dry they attach them to balloons and send them Heaven bound in Honor/Memory of their loved ones... Great memories being made

Make this a family tradition with your children and continue with it as each year pass'es. Such Love to share and memories to make

*Make a snowflake for each of your loved one who are in Heaven. Then attach then to a balloon and let them go, or hang them on a tree to be enjoyed by others.

**I'm attaching my snowflake to a balloon and sending them off one by one with all my love

Prayer

Pray to be able to express how important God/Jesus is in your life

NOTE:
So many people are just not able to speak up in front of crowds, or people they don't know,  (Like a wall flower), But PRAISE GOD, if we have innernet, a phone, or tablet, or computer, we can voice all our feeling with great Boldness to Proclaim the Glory of our Lord.

Each of us has been given a gift, use your gift to share the Word  of God to those in your life, even if it's not in person

I am one of those people who can talk in front of other's openly, my mouth just shuts down, the words are lost, I begin to sweat, I feel my heart beating like it's going to beat right out of my chest. I just have trouble talking to people I don't know.
 I asked God how can I reach the world for Him, I heard this within my spirit, "use your computer". Right then and there, I dedicated my computer unto God, and thus Heart-Prints was formed...

God has been so good to us, His Word never fails, and as long as I have a breath in my body, I'll shout to the roof tops the Glory of My Lord, even if I have to use my computer to do it

Great Commission - Greatest Commandments

The Great Commission
18 Jesus  said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you, always, to
the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:28-30 (NIV)

Greatest Commandments
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with
all your mind and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31 (NIV)

Psalm 139:7-10

You (LORD) are "ALWAYS" with me - Psalm 139:7-10 (Both KJV & NIV)

Psalm 139:7-10 (KJV)
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.


Psalm 139:7-10(NIV)
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?

 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9  If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10  even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.

Rose Mallinger

Thank You "Joe Caldwell" for sharing this:

Written By: "Rob Cantrell" Thank You Rob for sharing this:

“In 1921, a girl was born with hopes and dreams. Her name was Rose Mallinger. For 97 yrs. she loved, laughed, nurtured and contributed to the world. She married, raised children, wiped away tears, attended school functions and bandaged boo-boos of her children and grandchildren. She contributed to the world. On Saturday, October 27, 2018 hate killed her. While giving thanks for her life in a Pittsburgh house of God, hate forever ended the hope, dreams and contributions of a girl born in 1921. She was murdered by every American unwilling to unite against intolerance. Today, she is black, Latino, gay, Asian, transgender, Jewish, Muslim, poor, elderly, homeless, mentally ill and every other person marginalized and hated for being who they are. She is a victim of hate in America. A madman pulled the trigger ... but hate killed her. She doesn’t need a prayer service or candle lit to honor her. She needs change in the hearts of the people and country that took her life. Today, I denounce intolerance in her memory.”

Aboration

                                          Jesus, Protect and Save the Unborn!

Children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the
womb is His reward. Psalm 127:3 (NIV)

Pray for an end to aboration, pray from your heart, pray
often until God's perfect Will is done...

The very lives of these precious innocent babies are
depending upon you to save them

"Heavenly Father, please forgive this generation for the
arrogance of abortion. Heal the many wounds abortion has
caused in our hearts, in the world and in our relationship
with You. Unite us in the Truth. Amen."

Jesus, Protect and Save the Unborn!

Wisdom shared by Sadie

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the Light of Your Presence, Lord
They rejoice in Your Name all day long, they celebrate Your Righteousness
For You (Lord) are their Glory and Strength, by Your favor You exalt our horn.
Psalm 89:15-17 (NIV)

How to find time for God

Get up early to read your Bible and Pray before the day begins. Step into His Presence all through the day, weather your cleaning, washing dishes, doing laundry, Etc.

You may ask, how do I do that? Just by remembering Him. By talking to Him. By Praising Him. By being with Him,

when walking along the road and you see something that get's your interest, stop and Thank the Lord for His Blessing.
If your struggling with something personal, Say I Trust You Lord to do whats best in my life, Lead me as Thou Wills,
I Will follow because I Know You know whats best for my life.


(I Trust You Lord, I Love You Always & Forever)
