Happy Easter!!


Risen Lord, come stand among us,
Awaken us to your presence,
Open to us the gate of glory,
Show us the path of life,
Help us to know you are
with us now and always.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

The Hand Of God



May the new day bring you blessings,
as the light comes filtering through.
May your sunrise be as lovely,
as a morning draped in dew.


May the wind blow forth a promise,
sending sweet bouquets your way.
May life seem a little brighter,
as you rise to greet the day.


May the daybreak render pleasure,
as the birds begin to sing
May the distant roll of thunder,
bring forth a touch of Spring.


May the mist embrace the stillness,
like a fire fly in the night.
May an angel walk beside you,
to hold you in the light.


May the rain caress your body
and life drops flood your soul.
May His Spirit come upon you,
to cleanse and make you whole.


May the showers come so softly,
running gently through your hair.
May you touch the living water
and know that He is there.


May the freshness bring you new life,
pushing through the tender sod.
May you pause to pick a flower
and brush the hand of God.

Christmas Blessing


Blessed be to you and yours

this special time of year

And may the precious gift of life

forever bring your cheer.


What a wondrous blessing

have we to behold

Born to us one Holy night

a union for our souls.


Such delight we've come to know

now that the season's near

A joy and love and peace for all

when Christmas Day is here!


Precious love we share is ours

a gift for all mankind

Born two thousand years ago

by a blessed hand divine.


Blessed be this Christmas time

O, come let us adore!

A wish for peace for all the earth,

and blessings to your and yours.


May your home be filled with the love,

And wonderful peace of Jesus,

Our Lord and Savior, King of Kings,

Lord of Lords Who's with us.


Yes He is the Miracle Babe,

Born in a manger that one night,

While the love of God shone Above,

And the angels sang to invite.


May your heart be filled with a love,

And great longing to see Jesus,

For He came for us, you and me,

And always we'll be His to bless.


Oh love Him and revere His Birth,

He's your Love and your Life all 'round,

And He'll hold you like no other,

His wonderful peace keeps you sound.


May your spirit be filled with love,

Worship Jesus on each day now,

Let the joy of His love be full,

As in His Presence you will bow.


Merry Christmas with love in Him,

His wonderful peace will alight,

When your home is filled with Jesus,

Just as His love that star filled night.

Merry Christmas to ALL


Moonless darkness stands between.

Past, the Past, no more be seen!

But the Bethlehem star may lead me To the sight of Him

Who freed me From the self that I have been.

Make me pure, Lord: Thou art Holy; Make me meek, Lord:

Thou wert lowly; Now beginning, and always,

Now begin, on Christmas day.


Hopkins.


((((((((((((Friends)))))))))))))))))

This year has been a particularly difficult one for me as I have been in a considerable amount of pain but your kindness, compassion and thoughtfulness has helped me so much that words fail. Except to say that many of you have sustained me through some bleak moments. God's abundant love to you all...All of you mean so much to me, God bless you all. And to Ginny a soul sister from across the sea, thank you for always being there for me. We are all Gifts to one another and I have been extremely blessed. God is Good.
Merry Christmas to you ALL.

With much love,

Prayer for America


Almighty God,

bless the American nation

and make it true

to the ideas of freedom and justice

and brotherhood for all who make it great.


Guard them & all of mankind from war,

from fire and wind,

from compromise, fear, confusion.


Be close to their president and their statesmen;

give them vision and courage,

as they ponder decisions affecting peace

and the future of the world.


Make them more deeply aware of their heritage;

realizing not only their rights

but also their duties

and responsibilities as a citizen.


Make that great land

and all its people

know clearly Your will,

that they may fulfill

the destiny ordained for them and us in the salvation of the nations,

and the restoring of all things in Christ.


Amen

Letter Written by Fra Giovanni


I am your friend and my love for you goes deep.
There is nothing I can give you which you have not
got, but there is much, very much, that, while I
cannot give it, you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find
rest in today. Take heaven!

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in
this present little instant. Take peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it,
yet within our reach is joy. There is radiance and
glory in the darkness could we but see - and to see
we have only to look. I beseech you to look!

Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its
gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly,
or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you
will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of
love, by wisdom, with power.

Welcome it, grasp it, touch the angel's hand that
brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a
sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand
is there, the gift is there, and the wonder of an
overshadowing presence. Our joys, too, be not
content with them as joys. They, too, conceal
diviner gifts.

Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of
beauty - beneath its covering - that you will find
earth but cloaks your heaven.

Courage, then, to claim it, that is all. But courage
you have, and the knowledge that we are all pilgrims
together, wending through unknown country, home.

And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite as the
world sends greetings, but with profound esteem
and with the prayer that for you now and forever,
the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.

Happy Easter



May the Joy of Easter,
The Promise of Easter
and the Peace of Easter
be with you now and Always

Easter Blessings to you!

Blogger Bouquet to ALL Home Schooling Moms


I have the utmost admiration for all mothers who decide to educate their own children at home. What an onerous task and at times a thankless one I should think.


When one looks at the way schools are being run today you have to weep at the absurdity of the Political Correct movement which has infiltrated many schools.

By educating your own children you are arming them to face the world and their future with confidence and a great deal of kowledge that many schools dont teach anymore, such as history.

These mothers are selfless in their devotion to educate their children as it should be done. I am also sure that many of these homeschooling mothers have moments of tiredness, they may feel run down and depleted yet they continue. That is courage. That is selflessness. It is love.

So please all blogger homeschool Mothers accept this bouquet for a job well done. Bravo to you all. YOU deserve it.

Anyone who visits this blog, please pass this Bouquet to All homeschooling Moms. I have chosen the links below because they are wonderful blogs who will spread the word to homeschooling Moms.





Peace & JOY to you all.

Merry Christmas With Love

I know it´s late but better late than never.







May your home be filled with the love,
And wonderful peace of Jesus,
Our Lord and Savior, King of Kings,
Lord of Lords Who's with us.

Yes He is the Miracle Babe,
Born in a manger that one night,
While the love of God shone Above,
And the angels sang to invite.

May your heart be filled with a love,
And great longing to see Jesus,
For He came for us, you and me,
And always we'll be His to bless.

Oh love Him and revere His Birth,
He's your Love and your Life all 'round,
And He'll hold you like no other,
His wonderful peace keeps you sound.

May your spirit be filled with love,
Worship Jesus on each day now,
Let the joy of His love be full,
As in His Presence you will bow.

Merry Christmas with love in Him,
His wonderful peace will alight,
When your home is filled with Jesus,
Just as His love that star filled night.




I wish you all a Season filled with joy and happiness..
May those you love be filled with the joy of this special day.
May Jesus and His Mother Mary glow within your hearts.
May we never feel compromised about what this season truly
means to us all who celebrate the Birth of Our Savior
and may we never forget the "reason for the season."
How sad that so many people have to hesitate to say
"Merry Christmas" without offending any who have this
insane power to change the meaning of the very word
"Christmas" ~ A time of special meaning for millions of
people around the world. So many things have changed
through the years and now such a rampant display of
words are offered so not to offend the "mighty few" who
have the power to change the very heart of what Christmas is.
It is the birth of a Child who brought Light to our world.
Be joyful in your expressions of what you have been taught to
share. May your Holidays throughout the year be filled with
the same love and kindness that you should experience on your
very special Holidays. Be joyful in your ability to be able to
express words that you wish to express and do not allow anyone
(however small minded) to change the joy that you feel.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends. I thank you for the support you have given me through the year and wish you a day of happiness... each and every day of the year.

God Bless Us Everyone!

Love Always,
Ginny

My gift


Persons are the gifts of God to me! They are already wrapped, some beautifully and others less attractively. Some have been mishandled in the mail, others come "Special Delivery." Some are loosely wrapped; others very tightly closed. But the wrapping is NOT the gift, and this is an important realization.

It is so easy to make a mistake in this regard. To judge the contents by the cover. Sometimes the gift is opened very easily; sometimes the help of others is needed. MAYBE, it is because they are afraid. It could be that they were once opened and then discarded... Maybe they have been hurt before and don't want to be hurt again. They may now feel more like "things" than human persons.

I am a person; like everyone else I too am a gift. God filled me with a goodness that is only mine. And yet, sometimes I am afraid to look inside my wrapping. Maybe I am afraid I would be disappointed,and maybe I don't trust my own contents. OR, it may be that I have never really accepted the GIFT THAT I AM. Every meeting and sharing of persons is an exchange of gifts.


My gift is Me. Your gift is You. WE ARE GIFTS TO EACH OTHER.

Blog Bouquet's To Jackie & Marie Cecile



To continue the Blogs Bouquet. This week I choose Jackie from 'Catholic Mom of 10'. I love the way Jackie shares her life including the pitfalls and the joy. The love Jackie has for our Faith shines forth. It is simply a great blog to read.



I also choose Marie Cecile and her blog Soul Full Longings. I love the reflections that MC shares with her readers. So many times we tend to look for God in the 'big events' and miss seeing Him in the little events of our everyday lives. You dont have to climb Mt Everest to find God-He finds you. Marie Cecile's blog is full of God in the ordinary but spoken with extraordinary vision. Please read MC's reflections you will love her blog as much as I do.



A bouquet to both you ladies for helping the internet to be a safe and growing place to be.

The Five Spiritual Senses



Sight

Could ever there be a more awesome sight
For human eyes to behold,
Than the vision of the crucified Lord
Resurrected to make men whole?


Sound

Could ever there be a more beautiful sound
To the ears of mortal men,
Than that joyful melody ringing out
Of a heart set free from sin?


Taste


Could ever there be a more pleasant taste
Than the word of the living God
As it feeds the hungry hearts of men,
Directing the paths they trod?


Smell

Could ever there be a sweeter smell
Than the fragrant heavenly Dove
As He breathes upon His people
Filling them with His love?


Touch


Could ever there be a more precious touch
Than that of the Master's hand-
Forgiving, healing, holding us securely
Till we enter the promised land?


Father, thank you that your blessings
Reach the senses of the heart,
Satisfying our deepest longings,
As they touch each and every part.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ"


(Eph.1:3)
