We must be trustful.

We must trust.

We must have faith.

We must have the ability to make a difference.

Make the difference with kind words, actions, and gestures.

This will prevail over any anxiety.

I carried the lemon tree to her as if it were an olive branch. 

It wasn't from me, but I was a part of its journey,

The kitchen was large and the countertops shiny and new.

Inviting me in, my eyes filled with wonder.

Carefully I placed the gift on the counter nearest to me.

She smiled and asked, "What is that for?"

I smiled hello, and handed her a card.

It read: "Erma Bomback said that life is a bowl of cherries and if that is the case, then many believe it is the pits, but truth is life is like a lemon tree- Filled with Hope, Dreams, and Beauty for those willing to see. May you see the sweetness of lemonade as you watch this lemon tree grow."

Sunlight came through the window and illuminated one of the branches. It's leaf held a bud, which would one day bloom to grow into the fruit that norishes more than a soul.

She hugged me goodbye, I walked away and I began to cry.

For being a messenger is more than a job. It's a gift when the message is recieved.

The gift of the lemon tree has so much signaficance to see.

Do you remember your dreams?

Do you understand the lesson of which it brings?

Daniel could before he entered the Lion's den. 

And even then, he knew everyone has a purpose.

Every encounter has a reason, and every memory shares a lesson to find love meant to be shared.

Meeting a stranger to share a thought, begins an act of friendship to which one may question whether they should have stopped.

A Prayer for Peace 

In union with all people with a kind heart.

Pray for peace.

Peace in our homes.

Peace in our hearts.

Peace in our families.

Peace with our friends and our neighbors.

Peace in our communities.

Peace in our country.

Peace in our world.

Unite us all in kindness, compassion, and a commitment to make this world better, without excluding anyone.

May those blinded by this wish, have a change of heart; so they too will see that happiness is love thyself, thy neighbor, and all lives.

For All lives matter.

Dear God, Mother Mary, Holy Spirits and Angels above, we pray for this peace.

We ask for healing compassion, joyful love and universal kindness. Amen.

Do you watch your life through a lens?

Do you witness your life through your own lens?

Do you remember that all life is in a lens?

Lest we forget, God is watching.

A twin soul lives above and every memory on earth is carried to the heavens to create balance.

Everything we put our energy into remains on earth radiating our spirit.

On earth, every life we meet has a purpose greater than we will ever know.

Every loving wish comes true in the heavenly places wich our love goes.

Will you lay your head on my shoulder?

Will you let me comfort you with my love?

Do you need a friend to have an ear?

Do you know how much another hand can do?

Things unfold at the right time, and other things reveal in time.

Often words are better left in the silence of the fog.

Yet sharing faith through an action rather than a word can make the world a better place.

Sharing space in the present does bring hope to heal a wound..

Lay your head on my shoulder, and know it's not just you who needed a hand.

Lay your wonder and worry, and doubt, and together we will find a plan.

What a difference a decade makes...not the years...the Prayers!

Wishing Karma on someone is not something anyone can do.

Karma is natural.

Karma reacts in the manner in which it is welcomed.

Obeying the golden rule to treat others as you wish to be treated.

Testing that rule often creates someone to treat you with the orgins of the only gold rule ever made.

And that is STILL, to treat them as you would want to be treated.

Tha is the result is KARMA.
