Even though we live in the same city, I rarely have the chance to see a very close friend of mine whom I consider my mentor. Mentor, not because she is way older than me, but because she never failed to pass unto me her wisdom about life, love and God.
Before she left for a one year mission in Africa, we met at a café shop after my work. We were so happy to update each other. We still wanted to stay and chat but she was leaving that evening. Before we parted ways, she gave me “The Greatest Love Story Ever Told Bracelet” it’s a very nice piece of Religious Jewelry. Every bead tells the story of Jesus Christ. Together with it is an inspirational note which she said she got in a magazine. The note goes this way…Have you ever felt like the contents of your life have been dumped on the ground before you? That everything you believed in and depended on has suddenly turned upside down? If so, you have given a wonderful gift because now you can choose which items to keep in your life and which ones to leave on the ground to be recycled and transmitted. Maybe you have been carrying some items around for too long and the heavy load finally broke open, causing the contents of your life to scatter. Every once in a while, life seems to shake us up and knock loose a few things we have become attached to. Next time it happens, ask the angels to help you pick up the pieces.
I’m just lucky, blessed and grateful about it!

A Day In The Life
by: Robin Eaton
Scrub a dub dub,
Two kids in a tub.
A splash and a giggle,
Fresh towel and a wiggle.
Wait, No! Dripping child, don’t sit there!
A spritz of detangler
From the wet kiddie wrangler
As I drag the big comb through wet hair.
Shirt, pants, socks and shoes,
Half an hour of BLUE’S CLUES
Then we’re hurriedly out the back door.
It’s fifteen minutes in the car,
Though it isn’t that far,
I’m exhausted once we’ve reached the store.
We make a game of our shopping,
Quick, no time for stopping,
And we make our way to the checkout stand.
Sort through all the coupons.
“Sorry, the kids opened the croutons.”
And I place hard earned dough in his hand.
Now time for unloading.
And buckling both babes I `m holding
And then sluggishly make the home trip.
Fifteen minutes drive back,
Then tote in each full sack
Putting both sleepy tikes down to nap.
Stash away our supplies
While I rub tired eyes
Contemplating a snooze of my own.
It’s only 1:00 now?
It just couldn’t be! How?
But at last! I’m finally alone!
A short doze, a good read
And then a snack made with speed,
While I wait for the kids to awaken.
A few games of go fish,
A spilled cup, broken dish
Booboo kisses and a few snapshots taken.
Lord, my day is so long
Yet you keep me happy and strong
And You give me such joy in my children.
Sure there are days when I’d rather
There was someone else who could gather
And bath and feed and console
But Lord those thoughts are soon fleeting
When I hear the sweet greeting
I love you, Mommy
Thank You, Lord, for my role.

from: Helen Steiner Rice
God grant us this year a wider view,
So we see others’ faults through the eyes of You.
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither the adult … nor the young.
Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure.
Instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret.
Freely forgiving for some offense
And finding each day a rich recompense.
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand;
That all of us whoever we are …
Are trying to reach an unreachable star.
For the great and small … the good and bad,
The young and old … the sad and glad
Are asking today; Is life worth living?
The answer is only in, loving and giving.
For only Love can make man kind
And Kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind.
By giving love, we can start this year
To lift the clouds of hate and fear.
