Love's-Contingency

The Touch of Love is seen in the Miraculous as well as the Simple,
In the Drops of Water upon a newborns head,
In the Benediction o’er a Final Resting Place;
The Touch of Love is Bread in our Hands
And Wine on our Lips,
In Prayers offered beside the sickbed
And in Joyful Laughter at the birth of Life;
The Touch is in the Understanding and Patience Spoken to a Troubled Youth,
And in the Sincere Help offered to One in Need,
It is Heard in the Promise of Unconditional Love
And the Warm Embrace or Handclasp extended to a Stranger.
The Touch of Love is known in the grinding bit of a drill
Searching for Fresh Water In a Forgotten Village,
And in a coverlet offered to a refugee, lost and alone.
The Gentle Touch of Love is Shared through words of Encouragement
To One depressed, discouraged or grieving,
And Through the Compassion of Empathy conveyed
By a Wordless Nod or Gaze.
The Touch of Love is Extended to Each of Us and Shared Through All of Us,
To The World In Need.

nepal

When we See the oppressed, the fearful,
The neglected; silent, but ever tearful,

Nepal 2

The outcast, the wounded and the lonely,
The grieving, the lost, and those who are hungry;

Nepal 1

Do we See Angels Waiting by their side,
Hovering O’er them while we decide?

Sight

Will we Linger and Tend their Need,
Our Love planting a Mighty Seed,

Nepal 3

Or will we say “What a Tragedy”,
Yet walk away Blinded by our Apathy?

.

In Loving Remembrance and Heartfelt Prayerful Consolation of those lost, wounded, and alone.

Not only faced with the brutality of war, this winter sees a harsh reality for many – to be killed by bombing or starvation. No doubt we have our own special charities and do the best we can, but if you have even a tiny drop to spare, please send it their way. I was influenced by a […]

Winter has made it’s home in the streets and alleys. It dust the trees with dander, steals the green. Lies down, a stone falling in to a void. A question mark, the man on the park bench. In his dream he sits in the back of a bus on his way to church where the […]

A Beautiful and Powerful reminder to do all we can to share all we have with those we seldom see or hear about.

As we sit around the table, may we be thankful for the food we eat realizing there are those that have none, may we lift up a prayer and ask God to help us make a difference in our world and even dismantle, some of the hate. May we love our neighbor as ourselves. […]

You are the Blessing

Blessings of Peace and Joy
Of Life and Truth
Of Love and Hope
Of the Sweetest Gifts
Which E’er can be Bestowed
Rest Upon Your Shoulders,
Touch You with their Smiling Presence,
Guide You in Dark Moments
And Steer You towards the Path Chosen Only for You.

Know with Certainty
You Do Not Walk Alone,
You Do Not Breathe in Solitude,
You Are Not Singled out, Isolated and Lost,
You Are Blessed, Sweetest Soul of the Beloved,
You are the Greatest Joy Love Knows,
You Stand in the Shadow of Protective Wings,
You Walk with the Hand of the Father Ever Near.

Receive These Blessing
With a Thankful and Certain Hope,
Brave in the Face of Doubt and Fear,
Strong in His Greater Strength,
And BE the Best YOU You CAN Be,
For YOU are the Blessing that Walks and Talks,
Touches Lives and Shares the Bright Light
Of This Love
With All the World.

Blessings and Giggles

Blessings and Giggles?

Yes, why not? After all, God invented Laughter, so why not share our giggles and smiles with the world? It could be easy, I suppose, to sit long faced, moping, sullen, brooding, cantankerous, but what purpose does it serve? One only ends up vexing everyone , including oneself!

As Children we smile and giggle throughout the day. We laugh, we play, we make up rhymes ( and some of us never stop doing that!), we create words, (or that!) we reach out to others with open hearts and smiling spirits. So what happens to change that and when? Metaphysics may not be my PhD, it may not be my cup of tea (yep, there I go rhyming again), but where do the giggles go? What brings reality crashing down upon us to make laughter stale and smiles sour?

I cannot tell you, but for every frown, there IS a smile, somewhere, waiting to be shared. For every growl of anger or bitterness, there IS an infectious giggle just waiting to burst forth, and for every scoff of derision and unkind muttering there IS a light-hearted tune playing quietly in the background…somewhere. It may be half way around the world, and it may be just next door, it’s hard to say, really, where you may find it or when it may suddenly, smilingly, appear, but it IS there.

Now, what if you were the melodious tune being whistled? What if you were the genuine smile offered in the face of a scowl? What if you supplied the unexpectedly mirthful giggle? Whose life might you lighten and brighten? Whose day might be inexorably altered? If that person thought Happiness was miles away and, instead, it was just in the next office cubicle, or beside them on the tube, or in the next car while mired in rush hour traffic, then Heaven would be, briefly, within reach, wouldn’t it?

And YOU would be the Angel winging Love and Hope, Peace and Joy and GIGGLES, to the world.

So yes, Blessings and Giggles, my dear Friends.
