Mother's Day Poems



Mother's Day Poems and thoughts

God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers. ~Jewish Proverb

A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done. ~Author Unknown

An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy. ~Spanish Proverb

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials. ~Meryl Streep

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

My Sweet Girl's 15th Birthday


Sis, originally uploaded by The Chateau of Remants Flickr.

Oh my how time fly's! I can't believe she's already fifteen. I remember having her and thinking how tiny she is. She was a little miracle. She is a fighter that's for sure. @ 13 weeks of pregnancy I lost her twin which we never knew there was a twin until then..When I was being prepped for the DNC, they did a ultrasound and the Doctor found her heart beat :) Born 2 1/2 weeks premature she weighed 5lbs 5oz, blue with the umbilical cord in a knot and around her neck 3 times. Well, she was and still is a fighter! All the things I love about her is she's strong and sophisticated, friendly, caring, giving, daring, funny, stubborn, talkative, and most of all God Fearing..

Cheyenne Noel aka.. Sissy
Happy Birthday! Love, Mom

Give Thanks

Today I felt and was reminded how import it is to stop

&

"Give Thanks" for all we have, do, see, fell, touch and breath.

We never know what comes next in our daily lives.

So when I came bye this 1928 Vintage Wall Plaque I was inspired to share!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "In everything give thanks"

Blessings,

Shades of Blue Esty Cottage Style Party


Welcome to my shades of Blue!

I was once a Americana junkie, long ago..lol
So, when I looked around the house to find my shades of blue to my disbelief,

I have very few! Four to be exact? I had to look high and low just to find these. If you noticed it needs help.

Well it had made me rethink my colors and themes in the house, it seems to me that I need to broaden my horizons more with color again!

Go to http://www.etsycottagestyle.blogspot.com/ so you can see other bloggers Blues!

I would rather wear some Blue Suede shoes.. How about you?

Poem


This is a Poem My 11 year daughter wrote, Children are Amazing & Simple !
Just thought I would share her thoughts this week

I Am

I am a short little girl who has a big heart!!
I wonder if god will make me a doctor. I hear my mom and dad say you will get taller don’t worry. I see me being an ob gyn doctor.
I want to have a beautiful life.

I am a short little girl who has a big heart. I pretend to be a doctor on my brother. I feel like my uncle is with me when I go to bed. I touch the clouds in the sky!! I worry about when the world will end. I cry that my uncle died.

I am a short little girl who has a big heart.
I understand that there will be a rapture.
I say there is a god.
I dream that I live in a world with peace.
