The Order of Things

I placed this poem in my blog the other day. It speaks volumes and I wanted to place it here too:

ORDER OF THINGS

There is a rightful order found
Beyond the things that seem to be,
Something beneath the surface seen
Hidden behind prevalent schemes.

I know this fact through feelings felt
in such relief that come to mind,
When in life I do my bit
And leave results to Spirit's will.

There is a rightful order found
In which Spirit our lives arrange,
Giving us what we rightly earn
With precision in circumstance,

Designed to rhyme and meet somehow
In a rightful order, time, and place.

From the Book - Poems of Life

To my wonderful Brother: where have you been my whole life? We are now the best of friends, and I am blessed to have this relationship with you now at this time in my life. I wish you peace and happiness Pat. All good things come to those who wait. I believe this with all my heart.

Get Well Wishes from all your friends and your Sis

We all can't believe how this surgery has gone for you. We were all so worried about you and wished we could have been by your side. We hope you are on your feet soon, and let everyone pamper you for awhile. You need to recover from all that you've been through! We love you Pat!!

"The Boomerang Effect." You give love and it will come back to you 100 fold. Sometimes in obvious ways, sometimes not so obvious. It is there, it surrounds you everyday.

A message to those that live in LA, MI, PA and NY

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.

Remembering

As we walk through life, we see and experience so much. Some things bring us joy and others pain. It's the painful things that draw us to remember a piece of our past, a fragment of time, a tender moment, that washes away our pain. Its through those joyful memories we carry on.

Sue, I pray for you and Pat. You are truely a wonderful person and have lived already through so much, yet you keep your head up and live a good life. God has promised us we will, one day, be reunited with our loved ones. I pray that you are granted this gift and I pray that you will meet again and live in eternal joy.

I send my love.....

Cherish your friends, new and old...

Friendships are what hold this delicate balance called life together...

Nature has to work hard to maintain friendships, as do we.

Nature must hold onto it's friendships, as do we in order to survive.

New friendships are required in nature and they hold everything in balance.

Cherish your friends, they are forever......

Friends....right?

In this world, there are people that think they know you and those that really do. Such a shame so many are hell bent to invent things rather than really find out. Too bad, many dont want to take the time to find out, it's easier not too. So many people that profess to be good, but in fact, are really not. They put on a good show for their friends, but when their friends turn their back they stab away or fill in the blanks with what they wish. Better to gossip than to be gossipped about, right?

The good news is in the end it only really matters what God thinks and knows. I wonder how many people will be asked what they really know v.s. what they say when God asks them at the gates. Keep that in mind the next time. Maybe you could even ask your "friend", and you might be surprised what you find....of course maybe not....because your friend may already know "you".
