Yesterday

Love,

not unlike the sun itself is more than just warm,
more than just consistent,
more than just above you,
always looking down.

For love is,
and in that,
your assurance is more than just hope itself!

Me,
I'm just happy
your happier still.....

What if you used your imigination(s) to help others?

"The Italian Tomato Garden

An Italian man lived alone in New Jersey.
He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden,
but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.

His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.

The father wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,

I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son:


Dear Pop,

Don't dig up that garden.
That's where the bodies are buried.

Love, Vinnie

@ 4 a.m the next morning, FBI agents and police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.

That same day the father received another letter from his son:

Dear Pop,

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now,
That's the best I could do under the circumstances!

I love you,

Vinnie"


Yes, in this we see the creative genius of a one who has much humor, and uses his circumstances to bring about a wanted desire by another, and yet, using only his words, change is manifested.


You, if you really stopped squandering your resources on reluctance and denial, even you could do such a wonder for another, but 1st., you'll have to accept the fact that circumstances do not dictate outcome(s).


Words dictate, and in that way, your efforts are increased;

genesis 1:14

Why is it that you can't find(or hold onto) Love;

If you are not aware of who you are,
You therefore can not be loved.

For in not knowing ourselves,
we will be fear.

In love we expand,
in fear we shrink.

In fear we become closed,
in love, we flower completely open!

In fear we doubt,
in love we trust.

In fear we become lonely,
in love we never disappear.

In love we admire the trees, birds, clouds, sun,
and all the stars that live within us.

Whereas in fear, we disregard all that we should surrender to,
and only give ourselves over the darkness that love abandons!

Love is when you have the desire to know your inner self,
and in that way, all can love you too, no matter the contents!

Fear, as I've said so often before, is not your friend.
Love on the other hand, is the friend that you've always wanted become.



Be blessed then as the weeks ahead unfolds all around you,
and remember, love is the free gift that no matter how you pay,
is yours to keep, no regardless what anyone else has to say about it.....

Firewerks and other thought(s);

Though this day reminds us of the birthing and subsequent Independence gaining of the United States of America.

Are you celebrating you're own personal freedom(s)?
Are you even free?

Of course, please, have a happy and safe holiday weekend with your family and friends, and please pray for our troops abroad, and those still able to be close to home, but also, take a moment and remember the cost, the continued sacrifice, and reflect on all the work that's still left to be done!

Happy national holiday.

But honestly, are you truly free?
