Miss Understood

Often I feel I am miss understood on simply statements. Like the conversation I had recently with a new friend. It is difficult to cross over the threshold of being a mommie and being the mother of an adult. They need you just the same but in a totally different means. My daughters still call daily and we live only twelve miles apart but they don't need me to tell them what decisions to make and how. Advice yes but they are so strong and well informed with what they learned along the way they don't need be to mommy them now just being their mother is great.
Miss understood when I say it is a hard way to separate the child and the adult guidance. I suppose only the other mothers who have previously gone through this is the ones who don't miss understand me.

Ask and Be Ready

I ask in a prayer if I could love like the love Jesus spoke of when he walked this earth. Then it started I was given more opportunities to show love. I was ask to take a meal to a shut in. A lady who had no means of getting out on oxygen and hospis.
It's important for you to know that this lady is my sister and she had taken her life down a path that was destructive and at her on hands she would deny family time. Now she needs a meal, a smile, and I would be the one to carry it out. It went much better than I had thought it might go.
This is when I realized just what it meant when Jesus said to his followers to help the poor. My heart began to think of how many ways I could help her. Because she is my sister? No, because she was in need.
I found myself thinking of excuses for others who made mistakes and bad choices. I began seeing how to love those unlovable people.
Love is a funny thing and if you ask, be ready.

Gifts

Gifts come in so many forms. It is a gift to just sit and chat with the love of your life in the quietness of your home. I would not have received this gift had I not taken time away from writing the story. or cleaning or all the other things we as homemakers do.
Many times I have ask someone to spend time with me and they are too busy. They have no thought of the gift they might have received when allowed the time to enjoy the moment.
A lesson worth holding onto I think when ever possible, when you are invited to spend time with someone it could be a time you will never forget.

Turning a Wrong Into a “Write”!

Turning a Wrong Into a “Write”!

Let Go and Grab Hold

So many times I have held on tight to those things in life that just felt comfortable. They weren't necessarily good for me. They were just familiar with the life actions of the normal.
Although I have learned that when I would let go of a situation, no matter if it was a job, a relationship, or worse control. I would find myself in a better place. A place to grow and be better than I had been before.
The real lesson was when I realised that letting go is the only way I would have the empty hand to "grab hold"
Lesson Learn Be okay with letting go. Then open your hands your heart and your attitude to grab hold.

Man Up

Where did all the men go?
Who is ready to "man up" and take a stand for the orginal man?
God created man first, no one I know will agrue that fact. But definition of man can be summed up pretty easy. At least from my window of life. Men are to take leadership roles. They are to take care of the women of the world. Their women that is. Their daughters, wifes, sisters. But they don't, they don't "man up".
The average household today in America is single mothers. Boys are searching all the wrong places for father roles. Daughters are seraching also for that godly leader to guide and protect them.
Man up, it's your call. Before you think of yourself first, think of the role that was given you at birth, if you are male. Women must man up to the call to teach their daughters how to settle only for a godly man and expect nothing less from the man in her life.
What does your Man Up look like?
