Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat.

Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear.

And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed.

My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient.

Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs defrosting so badly; It has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or three meals.

Thank you, Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today. It has baked so many things over the years.

The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs mowing, the lawn that needs raking; we all enjoy the yard.

Thank you, Lord, even for that slamming screen door. My kids are healthy and able to run and play.

Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says You have richly blessed my family. I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.

Your love gives me strength to live day by day.

To enjoy my life to the fullest

To understand that life is a journey

and that we can travel it together.

Your love teaches me that love is unconditional,

and that our love will never die.

It will go through many changes,

just as our lives are in constant motion.

You've taught me to be secure in our love.

The way you love me gives me butterflies.

I feel strangely light headed.

I look forward to your touch, the sound of your voice.

The comforting words you offer,

and your undying support.

You've taught me that love can last a lifetime,

and that you must work at it.

Something this precious cannot be given up.

The way you love me lights my life

and burns a fire deep inside.

* A Woman's Heart *

A Woman Knows...

A woman dreams ... with her heart, dreams of passion, beauty and peace on earth.

A woman cries ... tears when she's wounded...replaced with smiles when she knows she will heal soon.

A woman loves ... with her soul, deep and true ... with all that she knows.....

A woman tries ... through every wrong, ... forgives past sins and finds the strength to move on.

A woman gives ... everything inside her ... she does not hold back because of the fears that remind her ... she could be hurt,
be taken in, ...
a woman protects herself with the love that lies
within.....

Only a woman knows the secret truths that hide beneath the surface of her warmth and kindness.

Only a woman knows the tender touch that can heal all wrongs and relieve all fears.

Only a woman can give her all and have love left to give when the giving is done.

Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can understand and accept ... the many pains she will encounter.

Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can possibly know the strength of her heart.....

A woman knows ... if all she owns was taken ... there are parts of her, the best of her ... that nothing on earth can ever take away ... the woman's heart, the woman's depths.

Only a woman knows ... it's the love within that makes her who she is, and love without pain could be a love that is dead.

RAIN
Nature has given us a beautiful gift called rain
When it falls, the noise is like a song of nightingale
that gives rest to the weary travellers
We tend to forget all our worries in its sound and sweet smell of earth
Rain brings the message of revitalizing ourselves
Like it brings life in all dead, half dead, half open buds etc.
When it falls, it really magical as if god is showering his
Blessings on us and we like taking a ride of swing made of seven colours
All love rain for one reason or other
Poet gets inspiration from it
Artist gets greater imagination
Farmer gets free irrigation
Desert gets to quench it long thirst
Food lovers gets to prepare relishing sweets and pakoras
Fun lovers gets to sail ship and get drenched in the love of nature
Forest and other flora all takes a great relief from the scorching heat
Harsh conditions of summer
Some simple enjoy it and gets philosophical which is away
Enjoy eternal blessing and nourish their soul to the fullest.

I looked at a sweet, beautiful rose
And then I looked at you
And I kept looking at you
For the rose ain’t as beautiful as you

If u r a CHOCOLATE u r the SWEETEST,
If u r a TEDDYBEAR u r the CUTEST,
If u r a STAR u r the BRIGHTEST,&
Since u r my FRIEND u r the BEST:)
