I bask in the glory of creation on this

beautiful empty beach.

My mind ponders, but I am at peace.

Where are the children playing in the sand?

Where are the couples walking hand

in hand, making all types of plans?

This magnificent beach is not empty at all.

No, It is full of our Heavenly Father’s Glory,

And his Amazing Glorious Creation

and Grace.

The serenity here is pricele...

Dear Diary,

March 4, 2023

Well it’s my 40th Birthday!

I should be living my best life right now,

but instead, Im reeling from the additional disturbing news I just received from my Oncologist. One of my worst fears is now a reality….my terminal cancer is aggressive and no longer responding to the chemotherapy treatments! As you know I have been receiving the treatment for 3 months. And for th...

“Promise me you won’t laugh at me when I tell you what I did this morning?” Kenya spoke candidly to her best friend Brandy, whom she talked to on her cellphone every morning on her way to and from Martinsville Medical Center where Kenya worked as a Oncology nurse.

“Kenya, I promise. But i must be honest

with you girl, here recently, it’s hard to say what you may have, or may not have done. ...

So the word Brave is not a noun.

No it is definitely a verb, an action word,

which is incredibly noteworthy.

To be Brave is having the ability

to possess the mental and emotional moral

fortitude to face danger, fear

or difficulties in life.

To be Brave is to be Confident

and reassured that you will be

Victorious

when facing life challenges.

To be Brave is to be Determined

to Not give u...

The alluring dove, a symbol and

an amazing confirmation of their love.

As we seal our love with a kiss,

I pray, we will always continue in

this marital bliss.

I ponder if our love will stand the test of time.

You’ve always said… I am yours and you are mine.

I also realized love can be blind.

But in the end I’m so happy that

you are mine,

My Sweet Valentine.

Kendra felt the vibration of her cell phone.

She had been waiting all day for a call from her boyfriend Dwayne. Kendra was pleasantly surprised when she looked down and the the caller ID read City of Martinsville.

Her excitement caused her to accidentally

fumble and drop her phone, while trying to retrieve it from her lavender cashmere cardigan pocket.

“Hello, Hello This ...

When I see the images of the malnourished children in Africa and other

countries it breaks my heart.

And when I see the homeless

person on the street who does

not have a place to sleep or enough

food to eat, it breaks my heart.

I pray that one day famine and starvation

in the land will no longer be, because

currently this is a crisis of great proportion

and a universal travesty.

Again...

I love all the seasons, but especially the spring,

Spring showers, truly bring about May flowers.

Flowers symbolize peace,

Peace can be achieved by being surrounded by flowers.

Flowers to create your beautiful bouquet,

Bouquet so illustrious and stunning,

Stunning in every way,

Way down in my soul, I just had to pray.

Pray for peace, joy and love for this world,

World peace for one and for a...

Listening to, and following my head

will definitely increase knowledge and

possibly more success.

Although I am torn, I realize following

my head, this route is surely the best,

Because listening to, and following my heart

may increase risk and cause more regret.

My heart can be broken,

And can cause pain that is unspoken.

So I will keep my eyes open and my

focus wide.

Because bot...
