A cause to celebrate...

70 today...

As I look back; I am drawn to look forward...and celebrate you are still with me today.

Today...I hope your heart was filled with joy.

Today...I hope your very soul was filled with peace.

Today...I hope your dreams came true.

Today...I hope you know, more than ever, I love you.

Dad,  Happy Birthday!

May you know I miss you so, and I am so thankful to still be sharing this life with you.
I am thankful you are there to fill the gap in the roadway miles; as I get older, please know when I think of you; I'm still that little girl full of questions and smiles.

May you know I want the best life can bring;
most importantly peace in your soul to sing.

You are precious to me; just precious.

Your voice brings smiles, with a few tears of missing you between the miles.
Your text; just a modern way to say I love you...
Your love; unspeakable at times.
Your support; more important than ever before.

A cause to celebrate indeed...

Dad, Today...and always...I love you.

But a vapor...

71...today she would have celebrated.

Reminded of date, so think back...dream dreams...
flip picture memories in mind...
tell next generation of the past of all kind...
much more wisdom to learn as it seems...

What would she have written if she had left a letter?
What advise would she have given so I may live wiser?

No letter needed, for her letter is passed in everyday life she lived...
graciously - every way teaching to love and show kindness and mercy.

I am thankful I called her mom
I am thankful I was blessed with her as a mom

Not here to hear these words, but this is just refection...
honor that her life's gift...
but a vapor...isn't forgotten.

In memory as I pass on stories and characteristics to another generation.

17 years almost has passed now,
some days I miss her with tears,
other days I miss her with words not clear.

Blessed to call her mom, one of a kind
Blessed she was praised, joy-full peace comes to mind.

I shall remain in Him, and He will always show me the way.
I shall remain thankful for each and everyday,
I shall remain full of joy, no sorrow to eat my soul,
for sorrow she wouldn't want me to choose,
that battle she wouldn't want me to loose.

For now...on this earth I live with peace...
For now no pain is upon her as on earth...
For now...no pain, no tears, no sorrow...
For now...rejoicing now remains.

Thankful...even in the momentary sorrow...even in the momentary saddens of flesh...
For selfish would I be to want her here with me, body frail, spirit broken, emotion weary...
Thankful her vapor shall pass her earthly lifetime...upon another generation...and another...
Thankful...for but a vapor He gifted life, enabling me to call her mom.

He has taken the sorrow away...
Amen Amen...Praise Be I shall say...

Today is a gift...no promise of tomorrow...

Thankful...so many gifts given still remain...
Enjoy them he says...I have given you this child of mine...

Seize the day with my blessings shall I say...

Thankful...

For Life...

But a vapor...

Full of sweet thankfulness...

AH...to be up in the wee hours...sometimes...sweet...

Peace...joy...smiles...

A sweet exchange of daddy-daughter emails in the wee hours of the morn!

Odds of both being up not able to sleep?...not going to speculate...

just going to fall asleep now with a big smile on face and peace in heart...

Will close my eyes to embed this sweet time to remember always...

Dad...I love you...and thanks for sharing tonight over the roadway distance...

I surely enjoyed our time!

Get some "beauty" sleep...rest well...

XO

Peace...joy...smiles...sweet thankfulness

Education...ever wonder...

Character Quality...

Self - Control vs. Self - Indulgence

Gal 5:24-25

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

οἱ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τὴν σάρκα ἐσταύρωσαν σὺν τοῖς παθήμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις

εἰ ζῶμεν πνεύματι πνεύματι καὶ στοιχῶμεν
