Some People

Posted in Inspiration, life, reflections by Linda on July 10, 2009

Some people have really been blessed with the gift of expressing their thoughts in words. I just discovered the inspirational writings of Flavia Weedn, a woman whose words are well worth a few seconds of our time.

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go… Some stay for awhile and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware of the delicate winds of hope… and we discover within every human spirit there are wings yearning to fly.

They help our hearts to see that the only stairway to the stars is woven with dreams… and we find ourselves unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence of who we are… and have faith in all that we may become.

Some people awaken us to new and deeper realizations… for we gain insight from the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls… meant to share our journey however brief or lasting their stay they remind us why we are here.

To learn… to teach… to nurture… to love

Some people come into our lives to cast a steady light upon our path and guide our every step, their shining belief in us helps us to believe in ourselves.

Some  people come into our lives to teach us about love… The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others and feel the bliss of giving, for love is far richer in action that it ever is in words.

Some people come into our lives and they move our souls to sing and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth is part of the incredibility of life… and that it is always there for us to take of its joy.

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

A friend said it so beautifully; Like a sun that landed on earth.. Soon there will be thousands of little suns everywhere, blessing my day. Welcome spring!

May You Be Blessed

Posted in Inspiration, faith, life, quotes, reflections by Linda on June 26, 2008

Counting our blessings in life, we normally concentrate on all the good things given to us. But sometimes we just have to take a walk on a longer path, to discover that things like discomfort, anger, tears and foolishness may be just what is needed for us to enrich our lives.

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers and half truths, so that you will live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice and exploitation so that you will fight for justice, equality and peace.

May God bless you with tears for those who suffer, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them.

And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.
