Beautifying The Blogosphere With Encouragement

beautiful_bloggerawardpurple_revI have been nominated for a Beautiful Blogger Award because a beautiful blogger found beauty in my posts. I must confess, this leaves me feeling very honored and a bit spoiled. These blogger awards uplift and encourage bloggers in a wonderful way.

A million thanks Sheila for this award.  Sheila, I truly admire the way you write your poetry.  Your way to de-stress, as you put it. What you are doing for your mother with Alzheimer’s is priceless.  May your kindness come back to you one-hundred-fold.  Please make sure to visit her blog at http://sheilamariegrimes.com/ Continue reading →

Forgotten Parents – A New Kind of Empty Nest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We wiped bottoms and washed faces,

And took our children to many places.

We cut countless meals into tiny bites,

We made it through untold, sleepless nights.

We survived those frightening, terrible twos,

God Doesn’t Only Watch Over Sparrows

Oliver and Sofi

Oliver and Sofi

It was such a beautiful day, I decided to take my two very small dogs, Sofi and Oliver, with me to the grocery store.

For God so loved the world that He sent His only Begotten Son
that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
