Mitt Romney for President?

Romney wants to bring a Sense of Pride to African Americans

This is an e-mail that was sent to me this morning referring to Mitt Romney:

I just had to share these comments that Mitt Romney made and I'm telling you all we better take this election business serious cause these GOP folks are way beyond crazy, here's what Romney said:


"I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today's
society.  In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed.  My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community.  However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesn't mean they can now be freeloaders.  They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just aren't there for them anymore.  When I'm president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them".  -Mitt Romney.

Welcome Arms

I was looking out the window of my evening train when I saw a tall man looking frantically.  The train had just pulled into the station and he apparently had been anxiously waiting for someone.

He looked and walked briskly past the first two train cars and proceeded down the platform when he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.  He had located the person he was looking for.

I saw the widest and deepest smile that his face could possible don.  There she was all 5'3 inches of her.  His arms openned wide and his 6'5 inch frame seemed to swallow her.  He wrapped her in his embrace and shook her.  He grabbed her bags and held her around her shoulders.

From the side view of his face as he begin to (what I presume) asked her about her day, he was still smiling, so happy to see her!

What crossed my mine was that he usually sees her off in the morning!  He stands and watches until she takes a seat and waves at her as the train pulls out of the station!

It caused me to think of what it must be like when the Father, who has watched and loved us all our life, stands with Welcome Arms as we end the journey of this earthly life.

What anticipation and excitement there must be when we finally walk into His Presence.

I'm thankful for Welcome Arms!

Autumn

 “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf's a flower.” – Albert Camus. 

We have entered into another season of our lives.  That which seems to have died and released itself from the holder of dreams or life.

The fall season is a preview of change before the frigid winter season again.  Autumn is alive with deep, rich ruby to bright yellow-orange color.  Signifying a celebration of the senses and changes.

Celebrate this Autumn season with grace!

Heart Thoughts

       Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  Proverbs 4:23



There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart ... pursue those.  Author Unknown

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
Ivan Panin

The impressions of the Heart reaches outward seeking to invest love in someone other than itself.  Encountering others that will pursue a common goal of beauty and peace.

Thoughts

Evening Prayers

Prayer is an essential part of our soul life.  It is the corridor of access to Our Father.  As individual and unique as we are to one another, so are our prayers.  Help us to understand the value of prayer, communication with you for our daily lives, In Jesus' Name.

I just wanted to share two simple prayers as a start of communication with God before we press our heads to the pillow!  I hope you enjoy them.

Dear God.

Thank you for this day.

Thank you for my safety and the safety of my loved ones.

As I enter sleep, may these hours give me peace.

May they bring healing to my mind and body.

While I sleep, dear Lord, please bless the world.

Where there is pain, where there are people who

have no place to sleep, who suffer and who

die, may Your angels come unto them and

minister to their lives.

Dear Lord,

Please let the light stream in.

Please use my hours of sleep,

Please prepare me, during these hours of rest,

for greater service to You.

May the light that surrounds me, tomorrow

shine through me.

Soften my heart.

Thank you, Lord.

Amen.

Dear God,

I surrender to you the day now over.

May only the love remain.

Take all else into the fire of your transformative

power.

Release me, release others, from any effects of

my wrongmindedness or wrongdoing.

Dear God,

Return me to your light.

As I now give to You who I am, what I did, who

I loved, who I failed to love, please make all

things right.

Take all things.

May I continue to grow in Your light and love.

Tomorrow, may I be better.

Amen.
