Honoring Fathers

Happy Father's Day to my Heavenly Father

my heart is overwhelmed with sincere gratitude and a great depth of love for my Heavenly Father. though i do not see Him, i know He is there. i know He loves me beyond my own understanding. i know i knelt in His presence prior to coming to this earth. i know that i loved Him so much that i gladly accepted my mission that was given to me to perform on this earth and that it was rooted in me to please Him. oh how i long to please Him, and yet in this mortal existence, i knew i would be tried and tested. i didn't remember how difficult the road, but i know every road has been bearble when i have allowed His Son to walk with me. it is when i try to go it alone, that i encounter unncessary thorns. i know He desperately wants me to succeed. how do i know? He was willing to give of His Only Begotten Son to suffer in such an immeasurable way, that He would be able to bear my burdens, my afflictions, my illnesses, my challenges, my sins, my temptations...and not just mine, but all of Heavenly Father's Children. given my microcosm of experience in the pains and hurts of noah, i have empathy for Him. i hope in my pre earth life, i was by His side wiping His tears as He suffered and wept at the mission of His Son. i am in awe, oh how i desire to honor Him, not just today, but the rest of my life. Heavenly Father, i love Thee and i thank Thee with all that i am.

Happy Father's Day

to my amazing father--thanks for seeing the good in me, for being my sunshine and .....

to my awesome husband, thank you for loving the greatest gift i ever received, our son, Noah. i love you.

to my outstanding brothers, you are such wonderful fathers to your own children. thanks for teaching me and for being my best friends through joy and pain. i love you.

Solutions to My Problematic Fun!!!

I remember what it was like to be a child. One day, Michelle and I were out in mom's flowers by the side of the house. We turned on the hose and flooded the area with water. Then we put on our snow boots and stomped around in the gooey mud. Noah simply likes to have fun in the water. These are solutions to protect from falling water, but not falling ceiling.

About Me

just my words: i love words! the meanings. the pronunciation. what they communicate. i love to list words. i love to view words in all the different fonts. i doodle words and i play on words. words can calm and soothe, uplift andbreed understanding, words are beautiful to me and if i could do anything, i would be a writer of words,,,a plethora of intriguing words. two of those beautiful words that top my list: efflorescence; to flower and to bloom. not only do i love flowers, their beauty and fragrance...i love the idea that we all will flower and bloom and grow into our unique beauty. as for petrichor, petrichor is the sweet smell just after rain...how can anyone describe the scent following the rain? now i can...petrichor. my life is bound to have storms...without life's storms how would we ever comprehend the petrichor... efflorescence could not exist without the rainbefore the petrichor. so could it be, that these two words go together? along with the written word, is the of beauty of words painted in pictures. my quest and my challenge is to discover the world of words in descirbing my life's events and posting my photos.
