To my sweet loving husband, you brighten my day. We have our days of disagreement at times for sure. Yet the good always seem to outweigh the bad. If two souls were meant for each other, it is ours. I have a thought and you finish it. I have a bad day, you offer me strength to lean on. Loving you is easy and feels natural to me. I’m glad we stumbled upon each other in this life.

Permission Lesson Exist I didn’t ask to exist but here I am. Was I a mistake? Some say yes. Others say I was a blessing from above. I don’t have a voice yet, so depend on you. Yet you are silent. I ask why? Did I do wrong to become in existence? CDK

Praise the Lord in the morn, Praise him when your heart is torn, Praise him loud in the eve, Praise him when you grieve. Praise him when you can stand tall Praise the Lord when you think you will fall, Praise him when all is going swell Praise him, let your voice gently sail. Praise him for He is Lord! In one mind and one accord. Praise his mighty name Because of him we are not the same! Lift your cry of praise and proclaim Glory to his wondrous and mighty name Praise the Lord of host Praise the Lord of whom we boast! CDK

Homeless Today, as I drove to work I seen you. You were walking down the road wrapped in a throw. Seventeen degrees, the sight of you chilled me to the bones. It humbled me, reminding me why I should be grateful. Then I began to pray for the homeless. Even if bad choices caused homelessness, They need compassion, they need warmth, they need food and love too. I remember walking those shoes, doesn’t seem that long ago. Instead of condemnation, offer love. Instead of judgement, offer a warm meal. Remember that could have been you or one of your children. You never know what one act of kindness can do for them.
