All things in moderation – that’s my message to the world

It’s 3: 10 PM on day 3165 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, spend time outsiside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water  – we’ve now raised $2 766 of $28 000 with 41 days to go

Today I saw something on social media that shocked me it’s like people don’t know what it’s appropriate and when it’s appropriate anymore…truly shocking. In this day and age we can share everything but some things should be kept sacred and private.

Today I realized that sometimes when you quit on people it’s not because you don’t care but rather because they don’t  I mean something exciting happened in my life could you please take a look *ignored* bear my soul *ignored* I get the message I’m going to stop trying so hard blood or not I deserve better from some people I really try to be kind I know everyone is busy with families and work but it doesn’t take long to say thanks or make a small effort

Day 3157: Mother’s Day 2019

“The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.” – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Spend time with my people

Mother’s Day is always a reminder that God’s favour rests on my siblings and I, I have never felt more loved than when I’m with my mother a love that’s consuming, a love that neither slumbers nor sleeps, a love never forsaking…I have often thought this must be how God loves me I have no doubt that if a car was speeding towards the three of us our mother would step in front of it without a second thought. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all the mother’s of the world thank you will never be enough but those are the only two words that come to mind.
