Happy Mother's Day!

A Salute to Mothers

Mothers come in all sizes and descriptions it's true,
But please know we're thankful for each one of you.
Some have many children, some have only one,
But each mother gave life to a daughter or son.

You may feel neglected and you may be, it's true,
But at least for today we want to thank you.
You not only gave birth but you guided and led,
And you saw that your children were clothed and were fed.

You taught us each night to kneel down and pray,
And things that you told us we remember today.
You may not always be "with it" or dressed all in style,
But my, you are lovely when at us you smile.

Some of you mothers are grandmothers too,
So your days for teaching children are certainly not through.
Grandchildren love grandmothers and need them you see,
To love them and teach them and their friend to be.

Thank God you're a mother and enjoy today,
And know that we mean all the good things we say.
We love you and need you every day of the year,
And we're glad to express it when Mother's Day is here.

We tell God we're thankful for each one of you,
But so often we're neglectful and forget to tell you.
So as children or grandchildren or as husbands too,
We say and we mean, "MOTHERS, WE LOVE YOU."

Have a wonderful Day!

hugs

Lone;

That was beautiful and meant so much to me as I am going through an extremely difficult time with my firstborn daughter.

I love you Lone.

I would love sometime to discuss a topic that came up at work with a good friend of mine. Spiritual kindredship.

My friend that I have known for several years as a work acquaintance and I were drawn closer as friends through the Lord just as you and I have been.

If I ever seem distant or aloof, rest assured it's not you. I love you, sister Lone. I look forward to someday meeting you face to face in heaven or in the new earth that God will create.

Happy Mothers Day to you, too!

Love, Luv

No worries here SIS..

I know how things are. I too sometimes just don't feel "inspired" to say anything, other times well..lol.
even though we have never met face to face it doesn't stop us from meeting heart to heart and spirit to spirit.
Kindred spirits..reminds me of anne of green gables.
We are all kindred spirits sometimes we just don't look deep enough inside each other to find it.
Some hide it, some are afraid of being hurt or refused or ridiculed. Some just don't know it yet.
Even the hardest boiled eggs can be cracked with a little patience and a WHOLE lot of LOVE.. Very Happy

I love you too Luv,
and we don't necessarily have to wait for heaven or a new earth because we are together in heart all the time and when I send you a (((BIG HUG))) you know it's from my heart as if I was there face to face.

Kindred Spirits

"And On the winged, booted feet
of Mercury's, quick"
We are here and we are gone,
souls cast out and ripped
from the shadows we live in and call all our own,
to the heavens, the four winds,
through the mists we are blown.

Soul Dancers, prancing,
adrift on the mists.

As they and the four winds collide
and are kissed,
Becoming one.
Like we Kindred Spirits
once were,
one soul and one sun.
Yes swept there
and kept there,
In God's mists of Azure.

Through the blankets of time,
swept across all our skies,
Kindred Spirits adrift,
see their souls meet and fly.
And their born of a spirit
that none can see,
But it's felt in the shadows,
and flows to the seas.
And it sees and it knows,
though the mists meet and rise,
Kindred Spirits are breathing
their life to the skies.
And none shall deny
their souls as they fly,
or another's great spirit
when they've looked in their eyes.
And seen the center of God
in their hearts and their hands,
they've met for a moment,
then they're gone,
yet, it stands.
That they understood
in those slivers of time,
that the knowledge they knew,
they spoke to and flew,
was another piece of themselves gone
and yet, given to you.

We live alone
and we die alone
and if somewhere in between,
we find we have spoken,
we've touched or we've seen,
another one like us,
who's been where we've been,
it's the most blessed of feelings,
to Have taken them in.
For, our aloneness is broken,
its knelt,
Been Replaced,
by the sharing of one to another,
It's felt.
It's Embraced!
As the love emptying out,
pouring out of us finds,
we've been blessed by
the Father with hope,
sweet peace of mind.

For to be given a soul with whom you can share,
all your innermost secrets,
the scars we all bare,
is a gift like no other,
A treasure so great,
it can redeem and recover,
our heartache,
Our fate.

It is the sweetest blessing of this breathing Lung,
To have shared for sweet moments,
this time under the sun.
Where Kindred Spirits were allowed to meet,
feel and greet.
Spilling into each other,
their love,
their souls deep and sweet.

Kindred Spirits,
Kindred Spirits,
Adrift in the winds,
scattered through time,
We see, We begin.

And So, the love and the wonder,
we hold for this time,
will fill us with its Magic
from time to time.
Spreading its blanket,
of sweet peace, our love,
Like a warm cup of Kindness,
Spilt down from above.

Yes, we are Kindred Spirits,
and that's all I know,
Of God in His Heaven,
and times Long Ago!

Kindred Spirits,
I promise that I shan't forget,
this sliver in time,
your souls that I've met.
For they are etched now in mine
and shall ever be,
The deepest of depths,
these pieces of thee.
These pieces you've shared,
and given to Me.
As I've shared mine too
and given to thee.

Sketched , Interwoven,
my tapestry's done.
Kindred Spirits once drifting,
now, tethered,
as One.
