Cow-girl

Good morning ladies...  I hope you all have a fantastic holiday weekend..

Verse...  "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment"  Matthew 22:37 NIV

Thought for today...  If you are experiencing grief for any reason, allow yourself time to mourn and weep.  If you try to hold in your tears and ignore your pain, there may be serious problems later.  God gave us tears to shed in our grief, an outpouring of our inner pain.  When we are hurting there are two extremes to avoid.  One extreme is to block our emotions, determined that we will never care so much that we can be hurt that way again.  It is unhealthy to block our emotions to protect ourselves.  The other extreme is to become so consumed by our grief that nothing else matters.  The best thing to do is to get back into the normal process of life again.  (Vicki Kraft)

Poem...

If only you could see By Lisa Robertson I know you are feeling sad today because I had to go,. I know you have so many things that remind you of me so. And though you cry as you recall the times you spent with me, I know your pain will turn to joy if you could only see. I'm in heaven with Jesus now, we laugh, we sing , we play. He holds me gently in his arms, I know no pain today. And though we are apart a little while, Jesus has promised me. He'll someday bring you up here where we 'll live for eternity.
