~the ticking~

All over the world the human race has come up with ways to tell the time.

Time is some thing that no one can buy, it is silent, and it is deadly.  it is something that you can never recover once you have lost it.  The greatest gift you can give to show that you care is what can not be bought with all the jewels and power in this world.  Now the clock is ticking where are you spending yours?

~The Petals of our lives~

The soft spring dew glistens on a fresh rose bud who will soon spread it's velvet petals and slowly continue to bless all those who are around, with it's wonderful beauty.   I think of that and how we just like a rose bud, over the years of our lives, slowly unfolding what our lives are to be.  We start small and still can be a blessing from the time we are just a bud, till when we slowly shed our petals.  But it is our decision wether we will be for those around us to blessed by , or will strive only to have that beauty for our own gain.

Brazil~

   I was very blessed to be able to spend 2 1/2 weeks with a missionary family in Brazil before moving up to Maine.  It was a wonderful trip and I miss them greatly.
