Just a moment of time

To forget what was behind

Getting lost in 

The lust and the passion

Of the attraction to one another

In this moment and time

Dandelion Love

Dandelion 

Love

My first flower as a child and the first flower I receive as 

 mom and grandma. What can be better than a dandelion in

 the first signs of Spring falling right into Summer. This little 

weed/ flower holds the most powerful memories of love 

given to my mom and to me. I love them! ♥ I don't see them 

as weeds at all. But a bright shiny smile of a innocence face 

of trust, love, joy, laughter, and a life full of hope.

Mommy Mommy

Look

I picked you a flower!

Oh honey that is so beautiful!

Let me get in a vase

 I will place it on the counter 

Where I can enjoy it all day long

Whenever I look at the dandelion

I see your bright and shiny face

Handing me your first big treasure

For me to hold and keep

Safely it has been tucked away

In my heart

Held with precious memories

Never to be lost

Just like the day I first held

You so tightly in my arms.

This shiny face of hope

A shining beam of light

A life of innocence's

With hopes and dreams

The trust of love 

Of a life not yet scared

Full of love

Laughter

Joy

And trust

I will hold each

Dandelion treasure

As the gold 

Of my future

As I handed my first one

To my mom

You handed 

Me yours

Then your precious little one came 

I never knew such joy or love

Then

The dandelion treasure

I remembered

Held tightly as gold

For the future

She lifted her little hands

Here grandma 

I have a found

A perfect flower for you

Tears of the treasured

Memories tucked tightly in my heart

Came rushing back

As I once gave 

My treasure to my mom

As you once gave yours to me

This circle of love and live 

Have given me 

The most precious memories

As I turned 

To pull out 

My most treasured

Dandelion vase

To set upon my counter

As My Spring has turned into Summer

I now see my

Winters

With the pressed dandelion

Of love full 

Of golden treasure

The dandelion

Treasure of love

held tightly

In my heart

Never to be stolen

Or forgotten

My golden treasure 

Of love

~Beth~

Do you treasure your dandelions as golden childhood smiles of love?

2) The blogs I read that are so up lifting and inspirational.

3) The thank you note from one of my clients family members thanking me for caring for their mothers hair.

12~ A gift in wind, in water, in white

The wind would be the way the wind blows through each part of my life each day through the Holy Spirit. Being open to His amazing life He has for me if I'm open to receive as He blows the winds of change through each part of my daily life. 

Water would be the glasses of water I have been drinking. I actually am drinking more water than I use too. I use to drink bottle water now I'm drinking tap water with "Mio". But that may be changing too. I am going to learn to drink just ice cold tap water. Water is so important our bodies and our over all health. Working on this one daily.

Oh today is funny....not a lot of silence in a salon....but... lets see what I did find in silence.

1) In the wee hours of the morning as I spend quiet time before I get ready for work; spending time with the Lord and seeking His direction and favor for the day.

2) Arriving at the salon and setting everything up before the day starts and the ladies start arriving fulling my day with lots of activity and beauty as they leave with smiles on their faces.

3) The still quiet drive home as I sit in heavy traffic thinking about the adventures of the day and asking the Lord to get me home safely with no mishaps.

15~ 3 Gifts given away

1) My smile as I see each person I pass out my smile and a hello

2) My cash as I went through the day spending it on various items and things of need; though it may not be actually given away as I did receive something in return for it. But......I did give it away so to speak and because it is a blessing to have the money to get what we need I thought.....maybe this would fit here.

3) A hug and kiss

What did you give away today?

Eucharisteo 

A Greek word meaning thanksgiving, to be thankful.

Envelopes the Greek root word charis meaning grace, and the derivative chara which is Greek for joy.

He took the bread, and knew it to be a gift and gave thanks. We too participate in eucharisteo in communion, and in life if we so choose.

16~ 3 Hard eucharisteos 

This one is never easy for me. But....I actual have ones. Shocking!

Not really we all do!

1) Having to turn down two fun filled rod trips; because of illness. So that I could get better from this virus. Believing for Gods healing hand upon me.

2) Not so fun but working on my tax papers today. This means I have had the joy to work with the gifts and talents the Lord has blessed me with. I truly don't enjoy doing taxes at all. But it is what is required. Thankful that I can and that I have them to do.

3) Working on Mary Kay paper work and program up dating it. No always easy for me as I'm truly not an organized person. But these are things that must be done so that I can get all of my paper work done and ready for taxes. This means I have clients and sells.

What are you three hard eucharisteos?

17~ A gift turned, folded, hung

Turned would be the pages of the book I'm reading. It also is the pages I turn as I follow along in service the word of God that directs and helps me grow to be who He created me to be.

Folded are the fresh linen next to my bed awaiting to be unfolded this week as I change the linen on my bed.

Hung is disabled sticker in my car so I can park a little closer; Which was great today. As I had to do a lot of walking of stairs and it causes my ankle to hurt more as well as swell. I don't always use it......but there are times it is nice to have.

What gifts and happiness have you found throughout your week?
