Your love was
Like trying to capture the wind
You swooped in~blew me all to bits
left me dishelved
then you were gone
I’ll never be the same
God I hope I’m not
Your love rocked me
Like trying to capture the wind~Your love was
My thoughts
But for the Grace of God iGo
I love You~I also may be Smart Heart Smart Loving You
I believe the hardest choice to make is how I respond to adversity. How do I respond to the unlovable?
Those in my life that don’t realize the affect they have on me. There are those that are selfish, mean spirited, rude, just down right unfriendly. Those that are beloved in my life, it’s hard to respond in love when they have hurt me. How do I love someone that continually crosses my boundaries, tests my faith, makes me wonder why I love them? I choose to respond with a Smart Heart, to Smart Love them.
We are never told to love blindly, we are told to love with patience, endurance, long suffering…but never blindly. Loving with a Smart Heart, Smart Love doesn’t push the person away but a Smart Heart, Smart Love knows when to reel it in and dial it down a few notches and be observant. Loved ones feel when you Smart Heart, Smart Love them. It is confusing to them because they realize they have hurt you deeply yet you have changed your responses and your intensity of love. Smart Heart, Smart Love knows how much to love, when to display love and when to not respond at all.
I have several continual offenders in my life. Ones that can bring me to tears because my heart is so invested. I had to learn how to Smart Heart, Smart Love them so that I could love them completely, yet not let them have complete control over me and my love for them.
Smart Heart, Smart Love, well I haven’t figured out all the answers but this I do know, I love that’s who I am, when I love you I never stop loving you. Love always wins, even if it doesn’t look like I have won that person over with love—I still win because love given unconditionally allows me to grow in love and take risks that most people think I am nuts for taking. I know this about everyone of us. All of us are alone at some point in our lives, and have to face our choices. I know one day it all pays off it’s just times like now when my love is tested and simply I to choose to Smart Heart, Smart Love you, no matter where you are I love you.
The Wildflower I never knew
I saw this yesterday and was going to look it up. Looks like some sort of thistle, but now it’s gone.
I wanted to share this with you, the Wildflower I never knew!
Time to Bale Hay
Y’all I had to wait till they were gone and parked their tractors so I could get a picture. I’ll be up before they will waiting. I love to watch them bale hay, and apparently everyone else does too. The most amazing thing happened, I was standing in my yard and my neighbor came over we were watching the boy brush hog and all of a sudden Ruby, my neighbor hollered my name. I don’t know if you remember my post about Ruby saying goodbye and telling me that she had terminal lung cancer. Well when she told me this last Winter she said, “Michelle I’ve had a good life and I wanted to tell you I’ve enjoyed being your neighbor and watching Alex grow into a fine girl, I don’t want you feeling sorry for me because I’ve loved 2 good men in my lifetime. With that she was off back across the street to die.”
I’ve been watching for Ruby, every night I watch her turn her lights off about 8 p.m., and every morning before I left Angel outside I took out front to see if her lights are on. I promised I wouldn’t bug her and I think I’ve done a pretty good job. Alex called me a stalker but I was respecting her wishes to pass in peace.
Tonight when she hollered at me, I was so excited I ran to her and hugged her, nearly knocking both of us over. She said, “Michelle I’ve been waiting to die and doesn’t look like it’s going to be anytime soon so what is that cute boy doing on that tractor?” Cutest thing ever. Made my night, my month and my year. I think I hugged her 3 times while she was standing there. Everyone else was acting like it was no big deal but to me it was a hug deal to see her still alive and what I loved most about it was I honored her wishes and she was so interested in seeing the boys bale hay she came outside. If you don’t know me well, I’m a caregiver. I’ve taken care of my sick girl all her life and then my Pa before he passed so when someone says, “I’m terminal,” well that’s like saying come take care of me, only Ruby said she didn’t want that so I didn’t, but oh I wanted to.
Yay! Something about that makes me want to shout, YeeHaw. I believe I will.
P.S. I love tractors and hay! Sorry for the long post!
I choose Peace
I choose Joy
I choose Love
SUMMER FUN
