It would be awkward if someone was a friend and entrusted you with a secret and then act like the two of you had commited some kind of sin. It would be hard to deal with a situation like that. That you are suppose to be friends and able to tell each other anything. Friends don't judge others and they would never tell anyone else a dark secret that was told to them in the strictest of confidence. True friends would never betray their friends trust. May be by talking to them and assuring them that their secret is safe with the person would relieve the stress. State to them that no matter what they have done, doesn't change your thoughts of them. That a true friend accepts a person and all their flaws.
Oh this is so sad, it sounds like a teenager at school and many people pick on them because they are quiet. They bully them and make them feel insignificient like they do not really exist. Many people have not a clue what a person is going thru and they can really make their circumstances so much worse by tormenting them. It is sad that some set their sites on the innocent and just make their life so difficult. From the conclusion that I draw the Quiet One ended up committing suicide. That is so sad, one person could have talked to them and made a difference. To give a kind word and by showing concern for the person. Let us all be more understanding of others and extend our ear to listen. You never know when we may make a difference in someone's life. It could be the difference between life and death.
This is beautiful and full of honesty. It shows your faith and endurance thru the help of God in heaven. You know that the road in life is hard, and full of many struggles, yet you chose to let Him lead the way. When you don't understand things, you leave them in Gods hands. That takes a lot of faith. I love how you said that the long road is full of loneliness, but that you are never alone. How you have learn many things by taking the hard road. That the easy way is not challegning and unfulfilling. How you have experienced many heartaches and many losses in your life, but you know that God is there and in Him you place your faith. Great testimony. My favorite lines
because it shows no matter what we God through that Jesus is there to bear our problems and trials. He will carry us when we can no longer stand. No matter what we may face God will help us move forward when we feel so weak that we think we can't move forward.
No whining, although at times driven to my knees
The weight of life at times, heavier than I can bear
Tears of frustration, and have adorned my cheeks
Faith and eternal hope help me move onward
A very sincere prayer. I love how you say for the Lord to guide you to others that may have a need to hear about Him. To tell others that are hurting, or lost, feeling complete heartbreak. I pray that we all will make it our goal daily to tell the world what Jesus Christ has done for all sinners. That He can make a difference in someones life who is lost. He can turn their whole world around. He can take what is wrong and make it right. He can feel our hearts with love, and compassion for our brothers and sisters. I hope that we all will think of those that have not received the love of Jesus, and pray for them daily. That they will accept Jesus and find the greatest love that has ever been given freely. My favoritee lines because of Jesus is beside us, we will know which direction to always take, we will never be in darkness. His light shines bright.
It is great to have such a friend, a mentor, someone who is there for you always. Sometimes people are angels upon this earth, God places them in our path just when we need them. They listen and never judge, they give advice and would do anything they could to help out a friend. People like true friends are hard to find, they are a gift from God in heaven. They carry themselves very well and are postive and inspiring. You got to admire someone who is so postive and caring. Your lucky to have a friend like Leonard. My favorite lines because you always know what they are thinking, and know they love and care for you. They will be straight forward and never beat around the bush.
Mentor, friend
Always available
Never condemning
Straight up, no chaser
Oh my, I would bet that more than half of us can relate to this very poem. I know in m;y life that I have worn a mask trying to prevent letting others see the real monster that lurks inside of me. It is ugly,unkind, and right down despiteful and scary. I try to conceal my bad habits, trying to hide the side of myself that others woudl find horrifying. I have tried to stop this type of acts, and let them get to know who I really am. Sometimes I completely fail, I also put the mask on again. But I will continue to let others get to know the person that God has made a complete change in over the last few years. Yes I am human and will show a side that others find undesirable, but that is the human factor. We are not perfect, but we are forgiven. So now I realize with the love of Jesus in our hearts we can become a person that is full of love, and tell the world about Jesus. I will fall and fail everyday, but will ask for forgiveness and try to do better the next time. My favorite lines because it happens to me daily, I want to show a good side and end up sticking my foot in my mouth at times. But like a song says I rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
I know not, I know that it does and will continue to do so
Very beautiful, I love the description of the poem. It puts you right in mind of the site that I see when I stare at our beautiful mountainside right now. Fall is a time of peace and seeing God's masterpiece at work. The beauty that He places in our path is breath taking. The trees all aglow some appear to look like they are on fire. How you said a time of rest once the trees loose their leaves, everything seems so empty. That is when we look forward to the rebirth of the spring time. My favorite lines because for me October is sweet and a painful reminder. I love the beauty of the season, but it was also the month that my mom passed away. It just makes it sad at times.
The leaves change colour when Octobers fall,
Poignant memories my mind does recall,
This is so sweet. Congrats to the couple forty one years that is awesome. I love the poem it shows that you all love one another dearly. It tells the story of two young people falling in love, courting, and then joining as one. I love the lines where you wrote there had ups and downs rain and sunshine. That through it all you all have remained at one another's side. Now that is a great accomplishment, Happy Anniversary. May God continue to bless you both and bless your life together.
I am so glad to see a good report on Nancy. It sounds like God is moving mountains in her life. I know she will face many trials and tribulations that Satan will surely throw her way. But she can make it through everyone of them if she will let God carry her when she can longer stand. God will strengthen her against Satan if she reads her bible. God sure has brought her a long way, and let us continue to pray that she will keep her trust and faith in God. Knowing that Jesus will be her best Friend when no one else is around, Yes absolutely God can make a person glow with the love that He places in their hearts. I have a friend that is lost and battling drugs, please keep them in your prayers.
I enjoyed the stories, how you get side tracked and start thinking of others things that are brought back to your memory. It is amazing how our attention focus goes from one thing to another, and then an item takes us back to a time that as you have said compressed. It must have been awful to be in solitary confinement for almost eight month, you had to write or you probably would have felt like you were going insane. How ironic the very type or people that you help put in jail were the ones who gave you advice on how to drown out the noise and how to survive such harsh conditions. I am glad that you found the pick thumbdrive. I can't wait to see the story on how it all begin, you getting put in solitary confinement. That is a story within its self. Good job;
I truly love this, I love the flow of the poem and it is all truth. So much is corrup these days but one thing is for sure God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. No matter how we look at things in this life if we follow His word, and let Him take the lead we will never have to worry about following the ways of the world. If we will just let God have first place in our lives everything else will fall into place.
My favorite lines because Jesus taught for us to love one another and love God with all our heart and with all our mind and strength. If we follow these commandments we can soar through life happily.
That the world will see
God's ultimate rule
of love shall be
eternal true
This is so beautiful. You feel Nancy's pain but know that there is only one answer, only One can heal the areas of her life that are broken. That God can mend her broken heart, He rid her of the self doubt, He can turn her darkness into light. It is so sad that we witness friends going through some of the same things that we once experienced, fighting the same demons that tormented us in past days until one day Jesus knocked at our hearts door and we accepted Him. We let Him into our heart and lives. He took away the old and replaced it with new. He filled our heart with love and gave us the greatest love in return. He gave us the gift of eternal life. Now granted I must say life still has it's problems, we go through the valley and climb a lot of hills, but with Jesus by our side, we can make it through it all. God holds our hand and is our Guide in this life. He will be with us even when our end comes to lead the way home. All we have to do is give our life to Him and He can put our life under construction and remove all of destruction that is in our life.My favorite lines because we see people hurting and know the only thing we can do for them is pray, because it is their decision and theirs alone to accept Him.
Oh Nance, I can't fix you, as much as I desire to do so
I want to, I just don't have the power
He does, all you have to do is ask Him
Man this takes me down memory lane. Like you said there was someone who truly listened to a small child and didn't talk down to them or treat them like a little baby. I have known a few adults that would fall under the catagory of being wonderful heroes in my mind. That would sit and talk for hours and not even hint in theslightest that you were boring the fire out of them. I guess that is what happens when a person is truly interested in what a child is saying and gathers our undivided attention. They give us their time and enjoy sharing their time with us as well. To me time means so much when you are a child. It is not what people can buy you it is the time spent nuturing and just listening to what a little one has to say that makes a great impact on that child's life. Like yourself I have had many adults impact my life this very way. Thanks for the great reminder and a walk down memory lane. Good job. You google a lot may be you can locate Richard. Good luck.
This one is really funny and cute. It sounds like a couple has had a romantic dinner or something and then the romance is about to start. Then all the sudden you read that all that is left is to throw his arms around the woman he loves and the bedroom calls. I love the part where it says that Suddenly, over her shoulder I go, a quick burping then off to nap. That it is talking about a baby. Now that is funny.
This is good sounds like a commercial at the end. It would make the reader think that a bear is coming to tear a person's tent apart looking for food. Then it describes the tent being ripped away and a voices growls do you have any Grey Poupon? It ends up being funny. Had a bear learned to talk? Or was a person just really need Grey Poupon?
It is so hard to be a long distance away from a loved one. You miss them and your mind and heart is at home. You may be a way on business or have a job that requires you to be away, the love at home is what keeps you going. You thrive to see your loved ones and can't wait to get back home, when you talk to them on the phone the miles just dissappear. It is the support and love that you receive from your family that truly keeps you going. To get the distance that separates you out of the way. To arrive home and embrace them in your arms, knowing they are excited and so glad that you have returned home. My favorite lines because home is truly where the heart is and where home is there is a place full of love.
And blessing me with eyes to see,
a place for my heart to call home.
This is really good, it give a glimpse into the life of people working for a living on the open seas. It is a sad and lonely life they live on the boats for months on end and don't get to see their families, they sacrafice so much. They face so many dangers never knowing if they will make it home alive. I am sure that thinking of home is what gets them through the lonely long days that they face. Home must truly be a welcome site when the ship pulls in to port. My favorite lines because the sea shows no mercy and it is by the grace of God that they make it home safely from each and every trip.
The sea can be unforgiving,
the work long and tough
This is so heartfelt. To be able to see how well your children have done after all the many struggles of being a parent. You get to see their accomplishments, and the simple joys that come from everyday life with grandkids. To stand back and see them spread their wings and fly, inside your heart breaking but your are also beaming with such pride. You know that you have done a good job as a parent when they take off to fly and don't hit the ground. I love how you said that you called your husband and told him that you didn't think you were cut out to be the boys mom. It would take a lot of courage to go through all those emergenies and then keep up the work of dealing with such adventureous children. I guess it is the challenge that keeps us as parents going. What is required we give, when we feel we have no more to give God gives us the strength to carry us through. Sounds like you had some very interesting times, and now you get to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor and watch your boys excel in life. Like you said they will be hills and valleys for them to climb, but one day at a time. You can enjoy their happiness and accomplishments and give them love everyday. The grand babies must be an absolute joy. My mom always told me grandkids are great you don't have to punish them and don't have to make them mind you get to just love them unconditionally.
great way of sharing your faith and wisdom with everyone. You are so right God is full of mercy and grace. It is our decision to make because God made us creatures of free will. It is our choice whether we accept Jesus or reject Him. When I think of the love that God has for us to send His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, I have to wonder how anyone could reject the love of Jesus. He died on the cross for our sins, so that all sinners could go free if they would just chose to accept and believe in Him. To me the decision to accept Jesus is the most important one that a person will ever make in their lifetime. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring item with us.
i like this tell us a few facts about how things can be different in one area than another. That skiiing in Vermont is a lot different out West. Kasey had never heard the sirens go off but she knew that it couldn't be good. I guess it would help to study up on sites that you are about to visit for the first time, and find out all the dangers that are involved. I love how she was smart and climbed the tree. How when she came across the signs that one area was closed she thought the ski-patrol was stupid and just wanted to wreck her fun. Then when the avalanche happened and she was stuck in the tree, she got a cell phone call from Jessica and then heard this is the ski-patrol and she was thankful that they were on their way. Shows how we think something looks safe and can end up being our worst nightmare if we are careful.
Sometimes memory is so fickle, you can recall what you did on a certain day at a certain time, then others things you forget completely. I hate seeing a person who knows me from my younger days and I completely do not truly remember them. My memory is very selective. I remember days of my youth, high school, all the long summer days spent at the lake with my best friends. It is amazing how much our lives change as we become adults. I guess we will be telling stories of our children later to their children and pass on our history that we have learn in the years raising them. These are my favorite lines because everyday that we live puts a new link in the chain of our memory. Some not as important as others but still linking to our history and life.
via the present, connecting yesterday
through to our tomorrows; memories last
form links in the chain.
Tells the whole story of what drugs can do to a person's life. So young and so innocent. Deceived by evil. Thinking that nothing bad can happen to them. Drugs have destroyed so many lives, it doesn't discriminate the young,poor, rich, middle class, everyone is it's target. Anyone that the evil can pursade to try it addicting poison is at it's mercy. It is a matter of time before the victim will give into the ways of this evil. Family and friends will no longer matter, obtaining the drug and getting high become their number one goal. The victim will lie, steal, and cheat to get their drug of choice their fix is their number one focus. It is sad, because this problem is rapid all over the world right in our own back yard. Many more will lose their lives due to addiction if more is not done to control this monster. To many lives have already been lost, how many more will die before something is truly done about this mass problem?
this is so sad, that a person loves someone so much and tries their best to let them know and it all blows up in their face. There comes a time that they truly realize that it is useless no matter what they say or do. That the relationship is over, the love they shared is shattered and nothing else can mend the broken pieces that are left. That the heart must learn to deal with the loss and mend over time the best that it knows how. It is still sad and takes a great time of mourning for the heart to recover from loss love. My favorite lines because it is so hard to let go and move on. You can't just turn off your feelings like a water faucet running.
But finally, when it is over, because of something stupid, or unsaid, or even said. To walk away is so devastating.
This is really good. It makes on think of the sun shining bright and then the darkness appears to remove the beauty of the red horizon over the sky. Darkness evades and turns off the shining of the our little night light. The light that brings us comfort and eases our fears. It is amazing how we can have abundant light within our own life one day and then suddenly darkness hovers to where the light is almost drown out. But then the little sparkles from the little star shines a glimmer of light in our path and we realize that the sun will rise again. But it still saddens us when complete darkness dwells for a brief time.
Very good straight forth message. You can have all the money that you ever need and much more. But true happiness is found inside when you are happy with who and what you are inside. Money cannot buy happiness, neither can it buy love. Oh yeah it can buy you friends for a while, but then they will soon grown tired of your useless ways and lies. Happiness comes from the heart, you must be happy with yourself and love you for you. Money may help make you comfortable but it can also make you miserable. You are always suring for ways to make more even though a person doesn't need anymore. They become greedy and lose their focus on the good things in life. If material things is what makes someone the person that they are that is a sad life. Love of a family and friends that love you whether you are rich or poor means more than all the money in the world. Rich in love to me is the most important thing in my life. Just like God showed us His love by sending Jesus to die for our sins, now that is true love.
