A Closing Ramble

My head is completely full of words after new triumphs accomplished in spinning academic books around what has been the outcome of silence filled days in isolation closeness to God or distance at this point neither seem to be a final conclusion, all I can muster is to pound keys on my keyboard releasing weeks of anxious emotions soothe by returning to silence. Again, in stillness hidden words appear filled with celebration the end is here followed by creative beginnings to embrace again in silent isolation. I found a poem in the midst of all the information and words that are crammed in my mind! I finally have a weekend with no pressures...I am going to rest.

Finished

I have finally finished my paper! I am going to watch TV ! Something I never do but it will be different then having my nose in books. No, I won't watch TV. I will, however make something great for dinner. Sorry for not posting much over the last few weeks, hopefully I will find a poem and write it.

Renae even laughed when she saw this one! Wonder who has who? A great picture for a poem. She looked lovely and so did my children.

New Beginnings

Sacraments , blessings and miracles all within a week! My adopted daughter/friend (long story for another day) Sasha, had another baby on Friday morning August 31. I was her coach and was gifted the privilege of witnessing a new life being born. Teela Robin is now 13 days old, she is my youngest friend and is so tiny! Mom let me cut the umbilical cord; what a wonderful sacrament scene. The last few weeks have been very full. On Thursday my son and his wife are off to Scotland and then to Rome for three weeks. My job now is to pray hard for this new little life and new marriage, which both have just begun. Thank you God for these, sacraments, blessings and miracles. Ryan the new father, is awesome with this little one--another blessing. Well, back to reading which is long and hard, but very interesting.

To my son and his new wife

“For two special children” was the expression written to the newly-to-be weds. These words opened a window letting tears flow within rows of cards. Words will never express what heart thoughts want to convey: May blessings full of rich life years be yours, not strife and confusion. May every moment be cherished, the excellent and unpleasant. May tomorrow be remembered forever as a day full of foundational blessings. To my son I will always love you and to my new daughter I pray we will share tears of joy and to both of you I will try to always be open to understand. God I ask always bless and keep these two special children.

A Prayer

Father thank you that you hear every heart prayer. Prayers that are not uttered, the silent ones that rise from the depth of a broken heart. Prayers that are full of anguish and despair followed with questions of why. Prayers of thanks for strength You generously give daily to make it through. Prayers of praise for who you are and thankfulness for the love you give each day. Thank you God again for hearing our prayers and that we can trust you will answer.
