It is raining outside. Well, I know I don’t need to add the word “outside” since where else would it rain. Inside?! Maybe, if there is a hole in the roof, or the window is open and the wind is blowing the rain in.
The rain is reminding me of the movie “Singin In The Rain” where Gene Kelly is dancing and singing in the rain. That looks like fun. It is a happy song, and his reason for singing and dancing in the rain.
Maybe this will bring a smile to your face!

In honor of Father’s Day I repost this which I wrote for Father’s Day in 2008.
You loved me
Before I was conceived
You spoke to my mother
As I was about to be killed
While still in her womb
You loved me
And wanted me to live
Until time to go Home to you
You love me
Unconditionally
Even when I sin
And you forgive me
You love me
So much
You help me through tough times
You love me
So joyfully
You bless me
Even though I don’t deserve it
The Boy
Who planted the seed
In the teenage girl’s womb
Never became my father
The Man
Who eventually married her
And adopted me as his
Did his best to be a good father
Neither, the Boy or the Man
Would love me
As only you have
As only you do
As only you can
Thank you
My True Father
My Heavenly Father
For your unconditional love
Your sacrifice for me
Your forgiveness
Your blessings
Dear God
Thank YOU for being my FATHER
And
Happy Father’s Day

I had a lovely surprise this morning outside my front door.
I live in a small townhouse community partially surrounded by some good size sections of trees. There are other areas around where the trees have not been chopped down yet. It is common to see deer, even running across the main streets. My community is back off one of the main streets, down a little hill and not visible unless you happen to come down that little side street and come over the hill to the entrance of this place.
I have occasionally seen a deer around the entrance area of this community. Have never seen one back here where my house is, at the very back of our neighborhood. Until today…
This morning as I looked out the window part of my front door, the sight which greeted me caused my mouth to drop open in awe and wonder. There across from my house, walking alongside the tree line were FIVE deer, one behind the other. They were walking pretty fast and before I could get my camera they went down in the ditch along the base of the trees and walked out of sight.
What a beautiful surprise for a Sunday Morning.

I wrote this in 2001, but I am now dedicating it to everyone who is struggling in their lives and a reminder to remember those in your life or have passed through your life, who supported and encouraged you even in the smallest way. Be grateful God put them in your life, even if briefly.
You are one of my Angels
You have given me love and support,
and a helping hand when I was healing
from my broken bones.
You are loving, even when my heart
and I are closed for repair & renewal.
You were with me, even if only in spirit,
to celebrate my new home and share in the Blessing.
No matter where our lives take us,
whether nearby or far apart,
Your Angel Spirit will always remain
a part of me, of my life, of my heart.
I pray God shines His light on you
and showers you with Blessings
beyond measure.

A few years ago a friend asked me to write something for a young couple. They were considering
having their baby aborted. So I wrote this for them.
How often we wonder
What is the purpose of our life
Especially if our life
Was considered a mistake
Maybe we were not planned
By a loving married couple
Or an unmarried couple
Or the result of a rape
However our life began
Whatever our life has been
No matter what we believe
We ARE…A BLESSING
Truth is ~ God loves us unconditionally
Truth is ~ we do inspire others
Truth is ~ we are important
Truth is ~ we ARE a GIFT to others
One way or another
LIFE…IS a BLESSING
