What Easter means to me....

I know for most people Easter has passed, but I live in an Orthodox country, so it's today we are celebrating it.

If I had to explain in a simple way what Easter means to me; it would be through this story, because more than anything in my life, after love, what I most need from Jesus....forgiveness.

Thank You Jesus for always forgiving and loving me no matter what!

*****

On Easter, Jesus did a wonderful thing for us. But just how does this translate into everyday experience? A story told by Gigi Tchividjian in More Stories for the Heart explains what can be yours because Jesus died and rose again on Easter.

In the story, there was a man who felt terribly guilty about a sin he had committed as a young man, because he thought God could not forgive him. One day he heard of an elderly lady who had conversations with God, and finally he gathered enough courage to visit her. Over a cup of tea, he asked if she could ask God a question for him.

"I would be happy to," she answered. "What would you like me to ask Him?"

"Well," the man began, "could you please ask Him what sin it was that I committed as a young man?"

I will remember their sin no more

The woman, who was quite curious by this time, readily agreed.

A few weeks passed, and the man again went to visit this woman. After another cup of tea he timidly asked, "Have you had any conversations with God lately?"

The woman said that she had, and that she had asked God what sin he had committed as a young man.

The man, nervous and afraid, hesitated a moment and then asked, "Well, what did God say?"

"He said He couldn't remember," she replied.

The Bible tells us that because Jesus took the punishment for our sins, God promises, "I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more" (Jeremiah 31:34).

Needing you...

...more than you know!

Trying not to cry......

...my littlest sister left for South Africa today. I miss her already.

Illicit Love

I desire your touch on my skin

I want to feel you inside of me again.
I long for your caresses on my flesh
I need you to love me again.

I miss your arms around me still
I cry not, with only strength of will.
My heart grows colder with time.
My love for you I must kill.

I crossed that line not knowing.
I hide it within me not showing
I love you against the rules we set
Yet I found it inside of me growing.

Once I almost said those words.
Once I was tempted with the absurd.
I know you will never be mine.
I am entangled in love's cords.

I let my heart freedom to roam
And now it won't come back home.
I regret only one thing in this affair.
That I can't have you for my own.

Secret Love

My heart is misplaced
My mind acknowledges my pain.

My body felt his touch
My soul went up in flames.

I see his face constantly
I hear his voice inside my head.

I feel his hands on me
I must know why I feel dread.

Heart broken I stand.
Soul pierced I fall broken.

Eyes full of many tears.
Mouth closed many words spoken.

Passion wracks my body.
Love wavers in my heart secretly.

A spoken word can kill
A part of me dies whenever we meet.

No impossibilities!

"Start by doing what's necessary,
then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
—Saint Francis of Assisi

"The only way to find the limits of the possible
is by going beyond them to the impossible."
--Arthur C. Clark

Stand for something!

"I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable; to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all."--Leo C. Rosten

I love the day after rain...the sun is shining...the earth smells cleaner & my heart is glad. I shall go for a long walk today!

Blue Day.....

It's raining inside & outside today!

Fallen

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Hee hee....I love this little kid...

...though if he were mine I would go crazy!!!!

Hee hee

Say nothing...
It will speak louder to me than all your words.

Look at me...
I shall see your eyes and through them the words in your heart.

Touch me...
Your hands shall tell me what your lips speak not

M.C.

Far far away is where I wish to be!

Close your eyes, shut your ears
block out the cares of today
Leave this world & come beyond to the land of far away
Sit in her boat & watch her stroke a gentle melody
"Calm thy soul; Relax thy mind & be what thy soul longs to be.
Thou art not of darkness, thought art of light & forever more shall be
So shut your eyes; let the world pass by while I play sweet melodies. "

M.C.
