Welcome to my Dream

Reaching Out

When shadows fall and night descends
I think about this day--
What have I done to help lost souls
That may have passed my way?

Have I reached out to all in need
With gentleness and prayer--
To show them I'm a child of God
And that He really cares?

Each day dear Lord, I live for You
And do the best I can--
For those I've missed, I pray that they
Will pass my way again.

And now I lay me down to sleep
And pray before I wake
For wisdom to reach out once more
When tomorrow's light will break.

Me And My Children,That I Have Always Lived For.

My Dearest Children,

This I decicate to you, the very ones that have held my life together. I do know and "Always" have Loved you with all my Heart. We all kinda grew up together, as Mom was young and had you Jeanne, Bobby(deceased) Ron and Rod were all born in 21/2 years, I guess when they come doubled up it dosen't take long. After you twins, Ron and Rod were born we were all Blessed with Randy(deceased) two years later. Mom, had a breathing time for a bit, but the work was there. Mom had three in diapers, not Pampers, lol for a long time, but looking back at it what a reward. Beautiful, Healthy, Loving family.

We had our hard time, as most do, but we always found a way to make it. Remember how we used to grab Fish Poles go fishing, Aunt Viv and your cousins would go to. Aunt Viv and I only got 7 or 8 of us in her Volks Wagon and went fishing, what a great time we had. Then came the big treat, we went into town after we finished fishing and got an Ice Cream, windows open, Ice Cream melting, but it wasen't anything we worried about. The Drive in Movies we went to, the Country and Western concerts we went to, you all saw Buck Owens, Stonewall Jackson, George Jones, we had alot of pleasant Memories. You boys fighting over who was going to go Hunting with Mom, (Deadeye, as you used to say). Jeanne going hunting and the Deer came to her, chased her down the Hill, about scared her to death, we did it as a family. The Wrestling matches, the Basketball games, and we can't forget Baseball. Boy Scouts, with baby chicks in the living room, sleeping outside in 0-F weather in your tent because Mr. Jacobs cancelled your Camp Out due to bad weather. Looking back I would give anything to do it all over again.

We lost Randy due to an Automobile Accident, well kids, I know it was very, very hard on each and every one of you, like at meal time if there was a Hot Dog Pork Chop whatever we had or the other would say," ya know Mom, if Randy were here he could eat that". We struggled to get through it all, but I know as a Mother, it is still there in your mind, it changed each of you, and does yet today as it always will all of us. He was our Angel God sent to be with us for awhile. He left this world knowing we all Loved him very much and it affected Dad as well, Dad didn't ever get over it.. You kids grew up, out of school, all got married, made well of yourselves, but we had another total diaster strike, your Brother Bobby was diagonosed with Cancer, and we lost him. just a little over a year now. Dad also passed away just a few years before that.

Again, I do want to say, I Love you with all my Heart, and hope for nothing but the best for you all. Love one another. Pray for each other, you are in mine, night and day.

We shall survive, I Love You deeply, Mom.

Subject: I wish you enough

I wish you enough:
Recently, I overheard a Mother and daughter in their last moments together at a
regional airport. They had announced her departure and standing near the
security gate, they hugged and she said to her daughter, "I love you. I wish
you enough."
She in turn said, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough.Your love
is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and she left.
She walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could
see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking,
"Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"
"Yes, I have," I replied.
"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?" I
asked.
"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the
reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, "I wish you enough.
May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other
generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused for a moment
and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a
life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," she continued.
Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it
from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear
much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."
She then began to sob and walked away.
My friends and loved ones, I wish you ENOUGH!!! They say "It takes a minute to
find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then
an entire life to forget them"
Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and also
remember to send it to the person who sent it to you.
It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry, but
that you haven't forgotten your friends.
Take the time to live.
My friends and loved ones, I wish you ENOUGH
