THERE YOU'LL BE
When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I think back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Well, you showed me how it feels
To have the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Cause I always saw in you my life, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
Always
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be
There you'll be
(Song performed by Faith Hill)
THE SON
On Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at their church, the Pastor and his 10-year-old son would go out into the town, shake hands and share Gods love with their friends and neighbors.
On this particular Sunday, they had plans of selling for a fund raiser they were having to benefit the youth groups baseball team. As it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets it was very cold outside as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said 'Okay Dad,
I'm ready.'
His Dad asked, 'Ready for what?'
'Dad, it's time we gather our things together and go out.' Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain.' The boy gives his Dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, don't people still need to be told about Jesus, even though it's raining?'
Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'
Despondently the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go-- Please?'
His father hesitated for a moment then said, ' Yes, Son, you can go.
Here are the things you need; be careful out there.'
'Thanks, Dad!' And with that he was off and out into the rain.
This 10-year-old boy walked the streets of the neighborhood going door-to-door talking with everybody he met in the street and offering them a little blue bear that tells of God's everlasting promise.
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking bone-chilled wet and down to his very last bear. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand it to but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the doorbell.
He rang the bell -- but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this 10-year-old trooper turned to leave but something stopped him.
Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited; something held him there on the front porch. He rang again, and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad looking elderly lady.
She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?'
With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you.
I came to offer you my very last Noah bear which stands for God's everlasting love and promises.
With that he handed her the bear and turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed,
'Thank you, son! And God bless you!'
Well, the following Sunday morning in church, Pastor Dad was in the pulpit and as the service began he asked, 'Does anybody have a testimony or want to say anything?'
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.
As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face. 'None of you in this church know me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian.
My husband has passed on, some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart . . . as I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
Sitting in my room, so lonely and brokenhearted, I just wanted to lie down and die, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me.
I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'
'I waited and waited - but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly.
I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be?
Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me!'
I picked myself up and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked, I could hardly believe my eyes! There on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life!
His smile! Oh, I could never describe it to you! And the words that came from his mouth caused my heart, that had long been dead, to leap to life as he exclaimed with cherub-like voice,
'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that Jesus loves you
'Then he gave me this little bear that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out, into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly the scripture which was attached to the bear. Then I was drawn to a shelf that contained a book long forgotten in my house.
Hungry for more I opened the Bible. As I read, I was overwhelmed with the love of God pouring out and covering me.
You see, I am now a happy child of the KING, and since the address of your church was enclosed with this bear, I have come here to personally say, Thank you to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time, and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in Hell.'
There were now no dry eyes in the church. As shouts of praise and honor to the KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.
He took him in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment and probably this Universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love and honor for his son, except for one:
This Father, God, also allowed His Son, Jesus, to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with unspeakable joy, and as all of Heaven shouted praises and honor to the King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power.
There may be someone, reading this, who is also going through a dark, cold, and lonely time.
You may be a Christian, for we are not without problems, or you may not yet know the King. Whatever the case and whatever the problem or situation you find yourself in, and no matter how dark it may seem, I want you to know that I just came to tell you, Jesus loves you x
Keep My Memory
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day.
miss you.
I picture you walking up the path
and walking through the door
I listen out for your gentle laugh
but i cant hear it anymore
I hold my hands out everyday
Hoping for your gentle touch
But i dont feel your warm hands touch me
Its a feeling i miss so much
I wait for you to wipe my tears
But you want yours wiping too
And everyday still hurts so much
Because my life is missing you
I keep your memory in my soul
It burns so bright each day
And all the things i have in my mind
Theres three words i want to say
I Miss You XXXX

God of compassion, there is such a hole in my heart! Today should be a day of joy, but I feel only emptiness and loss. While the world celebrates around me, I remember Easter celebrations of the past and I long to have my loved one with me. I bring my sorrows to you, Lord, like some odd gift of the magi and dump them at your feet. In my blind tears I wonder if anyone can possibly understand the depth of my sadness.
I know, you can. You sent your son to be with us in our deepest sorrows and I know that even though I might not feel it now, you are here with me, grieving with me, caring for me in my sadness. Dearest lord, help me to turn to the one I miss so much today and speak. Help me heal the loss of our parting and help me not to regret the things I didn't say. Sorrow tears at my heart, but today I ask that my loss soften my heart and make me more compassionate with everyone I meet, so that my loss may become a gift to others
~ Seasonal Memories ~
Each year when you are looking at all the beautiful
autumn colors in life I am alive amongst the leaves
that gently float downward to brush up against your
skin to say I am here with you.
Each year when you see the crystal whiteness of
snowflakes drifting downwards I am floating within
them to land on your cheeks and melt my love into
your sweet soul with the kiss of life.
Each year when the birds sing their new songs in the
spring they are singing songs from my heart to you and
the warm breeze you feel on your skin is my breath
of life whispering gently to you that I am here.
Each year when the summers sun brings forth life for
you to absorb I am with you to nourish your heart, mind,
spirit and soul with my loving warmth that has never left
your side.
Each moment of thought you have for me to cherish
in your heart is my life within you to stay for all eternity
and when you awake each day I will be with you in spirit
letting you know that we will be together once again.
Each and every moment when you feel that I am not with
you then observe I am amongst all the seasons of life as
you live daily while I leave sweet kisses through the gentle
winds of life upon your spirit in memory of my love.
TO MY DAD
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.
Missing You ~
Our hearts will never be as they were before
you left us on that one sad day and our thoughts
will always be with you until the day we all meet
you once again in the eternal love of your presence.
You will always be cherished for your kind and loving
heart in our memories forever more and our thoughts
will always be filled with so much love for you as you
were still with us today sharing all your love with us.
Your gentle and kind ways have lifted us up from the
burdens of hurt as you made us laugh with your wit
on days we all have been deeply hurt and depressed
which came from a heavenly source through you.
Your genuine love for people was a gift that I wish
we all on earth would have in us to be gentle and
kind to all humanity and your most inner beauty was
refreshing to the spirit we all carry in ourselves.
Your an angel of love that gave light unto us all that
saw it within your beautiful soul and we cherish with
adornment your beautiful spirit that gives love unto
our hearts as you live in heavens realm today.
You are so very missed by us all and our hearts
will cry for eternity that we lost such a beautiful and
precious loving soul as yours was when you was here
on earth loving us as you would want us to love you.

Mothers Day?
This day should be a day of love,
of prezzies and good wishes.
With hugs galore, theres smiles all round,
through gentle 'Mothers kisses'
Filled with love & appreciation,
- a day thats like no other.
but whats the point of Mothers Day
if you have got no Mother??
No bouqets & no chocolates
no luxuries for her skin.
No way to text her sweet words,
or cards to put your feelings in.
No one to go to Church with,
to get our daffodils off the priest
No one to sit and chat with
or eat my Sunday feast.
Nowhere to go, no one to take
for a little drink, (or three!)
Who'll worry what Im up to....
& offer to mind my kids for me?
Instead of this, theres cemetaries,
memories and prayers...
an Angel in Heaven wanting me
to know how much she cares.
She's at peace with her loved ones
where theres no more stress or fear,
- so i guess i know one lucky mum
who got her Mothers Day wish this year.
