An Angel Loves Me
that's what I have written on the outside of my wedding ring.
I found my angel when she was just a cherub. I showered her with love and watched her bloom into an amazing being. We were both just kids then and we've grown up togetherloving & fighting, hurting & healing, raising a familyliving our lives as partners.
At times, learning about life has been difficult for me
but *she* has been a constant helper along my journeyhelping me to overcome my issues, teaching me that disagreeing is okay,
slapping me up side my head when neededbut most importantly
loving me.
When I was growing up, I remember vividly the feeling of being watched over by a guardian angel
that I was being protected in this world. Not until many years later in life have I learned the truth
that I married my guardian angel
and she has done a wonderful job of continually looking out for me,
helping me to grow, protecting me
and loving me.
An angel loves me, indeed
and it's an amazing feeling...;-)

Sanctuary
You all are here today
I am here today
We meet in the safety of this place.
You belong here
I belong here.
It is understood and we all agree
that love entwines us
connects us
binds us together.
For we are all One.
No one is a stranger
we are all One.
There are no outcasts
for we are all One.
We are inclusive
we are love.
We are connected
we are love.
I have had heartache
and you reached out in love.
I have been battered
yet, you reached out in love.
We all have difficulties
trials
all kinds of attacks.
But, THIS is the place of belonging.
THIS is the place of safe haven.
This is your church
this is my church
WE are the church.
We all make up this church
our fellowship
Not a building, but the people
And the relationships we've built.
My church is with you
my friends
Your friends
and our fellowship.
This provides me safety
And some sanity
during the storms of my life.
So
we are here today
We are all safe again
All of us
together
we are all One.

Calm
We travel our life journey in a small boat
just the right size for her and I
Too many times, we've experienced rough seas
17 foot waves often try to veer us off course
The wake of other ships seems intent on tossing us out of our little boat.
The journey thus far has been to just try and hold on
It's easy to see interesting things on either side of the boat
One or the other of us will lean over the edge to get a closer look
This has only made the boat lopsided
Nearly capsizing us
way too often
Sometimes, we see the huge waves coming at us
We try to run from one side to the other
to balance ourselves
Even after the waves have subsided, we continue running back and forth
It's what we've gotten use to doing to steady our boat
This does nothing but continue to create waves
WE create the waves by running back and forth
In a vain attempt to stabilize the boat
If, however, we remain calm
Seeing the waves and other interesting things as mere distractions
If we remain calm and simply move together towards the middle of our boat
We can stop creating unnecessary waves
and
Little by little the boat will rock less and less
If we lie together
quietly in the center
The waves will eventually subside
The little distractions will eventually float away on their own
If we cling to each other...the other we've always enjoyed
And loved
The rough seas beneath will return
To calm
to love
to us

Away
You are away
and I miss you
;-(
I pray that you have a wonderful adventure I trust you will learn from your experiences
I hope you'll relax & grow during this time
I believe this is a great opportunity
I hope you find breath
& space
& peace
I trust you'll come back refreshed
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while
You are away
please know that I miss you
and,
You are loved very much
;-)
