....few words ...and broken hearts

i woke up to rain once again today

it's been raining for 2 days now and my heart feels like the weather....heavy

yesterday at 9:11 am  Candy went to heaven...im happy that her struggle is over and she is now dancing in the streets of heaven and at peace...

today i woke up again to grey skies and tears from heaven

my good friend penny lost her son James Lee early this morning....another angel heaven gained...

my heart is broken 

happy that they are no longer suffering - they both were taken way too soon but their struggle is over now...it's the ones left behind that have to fight to fill the void left

the empty hole inside there heart that will never go away

and no one can fill.....

I pray to our Lord and Savior that he will strengthen them, and hold them close

be there when they need someone to lean on

and lift them up when they are broken....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the grass is turning green

baby buds on the trees are forming

it doesn't seem fair that someone should be dying when everything else is just springing to life....

~~~~~~~~~~~~

im trying these days to find the happy in the messes 

the good in the bad

and laughter in the sadness

because i know our time here is limited

don't waste time on hating or cruelty
be kind, be grateful 

xoxo

today...humble today

life is a collection of a million, billion moments, tiny little moments and choices, like a handful of luminous, glowing pearls. and strung together, built upon one another, lined up through the days and the years, they make a life, a person.

it takes so much time, and so much work, and those beads and moments are so small, and so much less fabulous and dramatic than the movies.

the big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grab on to and extend to one another. the big moments are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting.

so make sure they count...make sure everyday counts, every hour, every minute
