About Me

My photo
Hi I am a Christian, a nurse, the mother of two grown children and two grand daughters, one grandson, and 3 dogs. I love people and have a huge heart. So why am I blogging? Well I've been told that I need to publish my writings. This seemed to be the easiest way to do that. Also, I want to get out there and live life to the fullest. Empty nests are great because now I get to explore the world. I'm starting right here on my computer. So come along with me and as I learn to fly we'll soar together!

04/26/10 What I say to the children?


Well first I say as best I can - without words
I love you.
Deeply I love you

I want for you to know God
Though you will not see Him fully in me - to my shame

I want you to know of my imperfections
Though I do not want you to think low of me

I want honesty to be your credo
And yet I have tried to hide myself from you

I want the best for you
I want life without pain for you
Though I know that is not best for you

I want you to know me
Though that causes me deep fear

I want you to be whole
I’d do anything to keep you safe

But all the things I hope and wish for your life
I cannot give you.

So I give you – I must give you to God.
Who knows more than I what is best for you
Who wants the best for you as well
Who loves you more than I could ever love you in a lifetime
Though I love you with all my heart.

And I pray that I can open my heart enough to show you who I am
Let you in and let you see me wholly
And hope that what you see is the redemption of a sinful person
Who is yielded to the only love that is truth.

I want with all my heart for you to know God
He is astonishing!
