The Hearts Cry

The Hearts Cry

Inside the heart cry's the tears flow gentle down the

 cheek 

Finding there way into a prayer of love only the Lord hears

 and knows 

For in that prayer is the secrets of the heart 

only known to

 the Lord and I

Placed in His loving care 

my tears like diamonds held in a jar 

For these treasures 

He holds my heart and tears

For Him they are gold!

To the world a broken vessel I appear

But to the Lord a rare and beautiful jewel

As the heart cry's and the tears stain the cheek

Love will wipe away each tear with a gentle kiss of hope

 and faith,

mending the heart with joy of prayers answered

Each one by one

Mending this broken vessel into a rare jewel and treasure.

 As this heart cry's

I place my tears and prayers

in your hands Lord

Knowing you will take care of each one

A gift to hold and know

each one will be meet in YOU

My Father in Heaven

Giddy, adjective: having a sensation of whirling and a tendency to fall or stagger; dizzy, disorienting and alarming, but exciting, excitable and frivolous; verb: make (someone) feel excited to the point of disorientation.

You have enchanted me from the first day

I  gazed upon you

Longing for that moment when our eyes will meet

How I will melt into a thousand little sighs

As my eyes melt into a thousand thoughts of you

As a giddy school girl full of enchanting charm

Lost in my fanatical dreams of you

Your charm makes me giddy with excitement

Wishing and wondering when or next chance meeting will be

The twinkle and tingle of first love

As a silly school girl

As I dance and flutter about as a foolish girl

Dreaming of that moment of chance

The dance that makes me fanatical and giddy

As I await that chance meeting

Longing for that moment 

When you sweep me off my feet

Dancing me across the floor

As romance fills the air

When our eyes meet

Gazing into those beautiful pools of blue

I know I will be lost

In your dancing eyes of blue

You have enchanted me from the first day

I  gazed upon you

The dream comes true 

Enchanted with moonlight rays

Streaming through the window panes

Music softly playing

When my dreams of you come true!

When God Created Woman

I found this on my Face Book page. I have seen and read this before. I just love what it says about a woman. I think it perfectly describes a woman in so many aspects. As there are so many prisms to what makes us work and define us. Had to share this on my blog as it spoke to me so much. And as I continue to write this blog for my family. I hope and pray they will see what things have always been important to me and what I saw as beauty and gifts. I have no idea who wrote this so am unable to give credit where it is due. If you know please let me know thank you!

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.......

An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her?"

The lord answered. "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"

She must function on all kinds of situations, 

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,

She must do all this with only two hands,"She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day"

THE ANGEL was impressed "Just two hands.....impossible!

And this is the standard model?"

The Angel came closer and touched the woman

"But you have made her so soft, Lord".

"She is soft", said the Lord,

"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" The Angel asked...

The Lord answered. "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The Angel touched her cheeks....

"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her" 

"She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel…

"What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .

The Lord said. "Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."...

This made a big impression on the Angel,

"Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.

A woman is indeed marvellous"

Lord said."Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life"

The Angel asked: "So she is a perfect being?"

The lord replied: "No. She has just one drawback

She often forgets what she is worth."

Dont Quit

This poem is one of my very favorites. It hang in my apartment for years when my girls where younger. It has sustained me many of times through out the year! I'm thinking I need to find it on a poster once again and hang it up once again in my home as a reminder.

Don't Quit

An Inspirational Poem

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are -

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

ANGER

ANGER

Highly explosive

Can become very destructive

Can lead to problems

With personally life and relationships

Work related problems

Anger can flare

Surfacing and causing grief in all areas of life

Anger can be healthy

It can be a warning and help that there is danger

Knowing where it comes from and why is important

When not dealt with becomes destructive force

Dealing with anger in a healthy behavior

Can lead to a more healthy me (us)

Learn to think before ones speaks

Speaking before we think may cause more problems

Learn to walk away and take deep breathes

Take a break from the situation that is causing the anger

Come back calm and with a fresh out look

That's when you can express yourself clearly

Without harming yourself or others

Returning and calming stating your frustration and concerns

In a clear and more precise presentation

Take time to exercise and get some fresh air

It helps to relieves stress and leads to a healthier you

And out look on what is causing the anger

A time out never hurts anyone

Could stop the explosion from happening

Which could cause more damage and harm than whats already been done

A timeout could help with a new prospective

And a calmer you

Coming back calm With more knowledge of where your anger is coming from

What the feeling is behind the anger

Not about the who

But what is causing this anger and behavior could bring

A better results without harm to yourself or others

Identifying the source of anger

Instead of focusing on what made me mad

There is an emotion deeper that is causing the anger

Try new routines

Change what made "me" you mad

Look for solutions

Remind myself anger never fixes anything

It just makes things worse

And more explosive

Knowing why

And where it is coming from

Helps defuse the anger

Learn to stick to "I" statements

Be respectful

Don't hold a grudge

Learn to forgive

Never easy but with a little self respect of self

Can go along ways

The bitterness and hatred wont consume "Me" you

It will bring healing in me

If I learn to forgive

The hatred and bitterness wont turn into uncontrollable anger

Doesn't mean I forget what has happened

It means I'm ready to move on

To be healed from the hurt

The consuming behavior of anger

That is causing me more pain and hurt

Using tools like exercise, humor and relaxation techniques

Can help stop the anger

From exploding and erupting

Or taking control over me

Knowing when "I" you need help

Letting someone know I need help

Or seeking the help out

Learning the feelings and emotions behind the anger

Is important to be able to deal with what is truly going on

That way you can deal with what is truly bothering you

And what is the real cause of the anger

Knowing what "my" your core values are

And how they effect "me" you feel

Is key in staying healthy

Why "I" you feel threatened

Where is this coming from?

Anger is a normal feeling

Understanding it helps control it

Reasons anger can and will flare up are:

Frustration

Hurt

Harassment

Injustice real/or perceived

Criticism we believe are unfair

Threats

People

Things

Or ideals we hold dear (Core Values)

Anger is a powerful force.

It can jeopardize relationship's

Work

Health

Every aspect of "my" your life

Anger is a destructive force like a Volcano/or and hidden Ice berg

The volcano lays doormat just percolating until it erupts and its hot lava runs down everywhere destroying everything in its path

An iceberg looks harmless if seen from a top view; 

But what waits underneath can tear and destroy and sink a ship in minutes

Anger is much like this two hidden beauties.

A beauty of a volcano/iceberg is beautiful until one explodes and rips the sides out

Much like "me" you beautiful until anger comes in to destroy

Anger

An explosion with a force to destroy what ever lays in its path

Natural reaction when harm or threats are felt

Giving in to the force of fight or flight

Energy that controls you instead of you controlling it

Revenge that gives no forgiveness

~Beth~

Anger is a force all of its own if we allow it to take over and destroy "Me" us.

This is a project I had to turn in for an anger management class that I took for my health.
We had to talk about what we learned on our twelve week journey.
Have you ever had to take an anger mananagement class?
