Home again. I love being "home again"

I just returned from my 8 a.m. exit to get my Beautiful Creative Pre-teen Delightful Dove her occupational therapy. She is so magical, so enchanted and infatuated with life. Full of the knowledge of her innate beauty. We older women all loose that and spend a life time fighting for it to come back. It is there, WE ARE WONDERFUL,BEAUTIFUL too, just like when we were a pre-teen.We just believed the lie that we are not. Oh! but we are! It is still there hidden in our center just awaiting our re-discovery.

It is so good to be Home! I have a lot of tasks to do including a well used kitchen cleaning. Pie baking and cookie making day. There are those monkey strewn file boxes and budget paper work too.
We Have a play date tomorrow so I best effort mercy to my guest by trying to pick up a few of my staged projects and sorting jobs.

Be delightful it will come easy in that place, now close your eyes, feel the true beat as you drum in the center, in community with me.
Share that community with others who need you today! You will be the beat they can enter into to find a rest.

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
