What does LOVE look like in your home?

Bread on the counter with meat and cheese slices placed, chips in a baggy and we embraceWell wishes for a good dayA Quiet cup of teaStopping the world as a child awakes

Extending mutual efforts delegation of tasksbellies all fed up to health for the dayDogs chickens and childrenChildren treated as one would anotheras a friend or sister or brother.respect given amends quickly offered

Green grass and it's cover Earth life and beauty waiting to be discovered.Quiet alone time easily turning to company of one anotherExpectation of pleasure Accepting dis pleasure as wellSelf care and healths preservationnurture soul body and spiritwelcoming others
Laughter love flows to those that come in from afara glass of water given freely when others think of meas quickly as would each other is as selfpoetry of living and giving and so much morethis only the beginning of what love looks like at my door.
this only now as the day just begins

Michelle Gregory said...: not freaking out and getting on their case when they're being surly. letting them work out their stuff without feeling like it's my fault they're surly in the first place. menopause and teen boys don't really go together well.; July 15, 2010 at 8:14 AM

By Maya Angelou

'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"
