DAILY GRATITUDE LOVE

 

Knowing we can never please every person in the world…

I’m grateful for the wisdom in this African proverb

those mornings I gaze up at Jupiter and Mars…

If the full moon loves you…

why worry about the stars.

TRUTH

 

At this critical juncture in our history

when flooded by so much misinformation and 

slanted news…

It’s time to revisit an African proverb…

Please think about these words as you peruse….

Love truth…even if it hurts you,

Hate lies…eve in they help you.

LOVE TRAIN

 

History is rampant with different trains of hate…

like the latest train claiming to make America great.

But history also shows us that every train of hate… 

though powerful at first…quickly loses steam…and every time we find…

Death, destruction, heartache and sadness is what they leave behind.

Trains of hate have come and gone…but if you look closely you will see

there is only one train of love…and she’s been running throughout our history.

In the midst of this latest train of hate…when we’re wondering how to cope…

as saddened as we are…there are many reasons for hope…

Because In the midst of this animosity…the one thing we have gained…

are all the people…previously silent…who have boarded the Love Train.

And as more and more people become disgusted…tire of this hate

and yearn for a world with peace and love restored…

those of us already on the train are welcoming them aboard.

While the train of hate has room for only a select few…and many are being shown the door 

on the love train…everyone is welcome and there is always room for more.

The good news is there is still time for peace and love to reign…

There is still time for everyone to climb aboard our Train…

For those of you still riding the train of hate…

who have forgotten what’s it’s like to be kind…

You better hurry because the train is about to leave the station

and you don’t want to be left behind.

If history is any indication…the train of hate you’re riding is not as powerful as it seems

and the love train will still be accepting passengers 

when your train runs out of steam.

ECHOES OF LOVE

 

I am grateful for the way love echoes…

How when I’ve given love wholeheartedly…

so often that love I give…is echoed back to me.

It matters not the language

as long as I love you is attached to my name

I will understand the meaning…

and the feeling is the same.

WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU

 

May we be blessed to understand

there are a million ways to say I love you… 

and just in case you’re wondering…

here are but a few.

Call me when you get home. 

Watch your step.

I made you a snack.

I’m so proud of you

Eat your vegetables.

Don’t worry….I’ve got your back

To experience one of the million ‘I love yous’ 

waiting to be heard…

it’s simple…

watch a person’s actions carefully

and listen closely to their words.

WHAT WE WERE CREATED FOR

 

Growing up…from school and text books as he learned more and more 

he understood scientifically what our body parts were created for.

But once he fell in love…his views changed…each day a little more and more

and he came to truly understand what our body parts were created for.

When their eyes met from across the room…she was standing by the door 

he knew in that moment…what his eyes were created for.

When he first heard her voice…and he felt his heart soar

he knew in that moment…what his ears were created for.

The first time they held hands as they walked along the shore

he knew in that moment…what his hands were created for.

The first time they hugged one another……it was as if he’d never hugged before

he knew in that moment…what his arms were created for.

And the first time they kissed…which left him wanting more

he knew in that moment…what his lips were created for.

Yes, from the moment he met her…his old textbooks seemed outdated..

Because in his heart he knew to love…and to be loved

is why we were created.

DAILY GRATITUDE HAPPINESS

 

I am grateful for always finding…

as each new arrives…

the time to enjoy all the tings in life 

that make me happy to be alive…
