WHAT IS NEXT

Hearing laughter in the next room, seeing the six pound dog drag a king size sheet off of the clean laundry, spreading it out across the room, getting a beautiful message from a young friend and completing something I thought would not get done show me what life is all about. Just the little things can give us a big boost to want to wake up to another day, ready for the Spirit’s flame to excite us for what will be next, ready to expect the unexpected.

GIFTS OF COURAGE

All it takes to have courage is a prayer to the Holy Spirit, to remind the self that yes, indeed, one has power, strength, faith, love and self-control, gifts bestowed upon us, ready to be used when needed! ~Marie T. Morrison~

A SWEET SUMMER DAY

In the heat of summer, and the body is dragging, nothing looks more delightful than seeing children selling lemonade on the street corner, just as in days gone by. My smile is as big as theirs, as they hold up their homemade signs, calling out to buy a cold cup of the refreshing drink. I hand them my quarters and drive away, sipping the sweet taste of sugar and lemons, my spirit and soul renewed, thanking God for these precious children, all on a summer’s day. ~Marie T. Morrison~

MEMORIES

Though life does not last forever, memories do. Share those memories with each generation. Stories can be told, photographs viewed, letters read, journals expressed, all while the gathering of friends and family bring bread to the table. Feel God’s presence as the memories are shared. He was always there, bringing life into each breath of laughter and every tear shed, no matter the number of years it may be. ~Marie T. Morrison~

FINDING WISDOM

HOW DO I FIND WISDOM?
Wisdom does not always come from our elders. It can be learned from an innocent toddler, a teenager hungry for knowledge, a peer explaining what is understood from a given image or from one’s own experience. Important to remember is the living Spirit living within those surrounding us, each carrying a tiny piece of wisdom, unique as a snowflake and as fresh, crisp and beautiful, landing upon us, to implant a distinguished memory.
