Pray for those who have hurt you :)

I have come across with this post on my facebook account and it is very timely. The good Lord shows compassion to those who have been hurt physically and emotionally, and for those who are continually hurting may this inspire you to move on and look forward positively on life asking Lord as our source of strength and guidance.

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.

Psalm 23

and he is growing so fast :)

"The greatest guy I know looks me in the eyes and calls me Mommy!"

No amount of gold could ever compare, to the gift of love that my son shares. I've been blind and I couldn't see that all the love I've wanted is right here in front of me.

He gives reason to get through another day.

Maybe it's how he loves me in his special little way.

And when it gets hard for me to sleep at night....

He wraps his little arms around me and says God will make things right!

From sweet gentle touches to his bear hugs and a kiss...

He makes this hell on earth seem more like a peaceful bliss.

That great big smile and the twinkle in his eyes....

Every time I look at him it makes me want to cry.

But they're not tears of sorrow; they're tears of pride and joy....

To know that all the love in heaven is wrapped around my little boy

His turning 9 next week and I cannot help but cry every time I look at him, that no amount of satisfaction by just looking at him. Sometimes, I would ask the dear Lord to give me more strength just so I could give the world to him.

eat. pray. love.

I have come across just tonight watching the whole of Julia Robert's movie with the famous book of Elizabeth Gilbert's, Eat, Pray, Love

Finding your balance in life is not an easy thing to do, it may be so easy to say but so hard to take risk and to give in. What I've learned is that you learn to appreciate simple things in life that could you'll never know is and will be the major part of balance in your life.

But the greatest part of it all is Love, you take risk, you give all. It may be scary sometimes but it's always worth the try, if you loose in the end you know you did your best and you gave your all. :)

Here are some of the famous lines which I have come across and plan to meditate upon,,,,, :)


“If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will protect upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted that the only way I can recover my energy is by becoming infatuated with someone else.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert


“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love


“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love


“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

and here is the most strucking one,,,

“If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will protect upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted that the only way I can recover my energy is by becoming infatuated with someone else.”

I WON'T GIVE UP ON US!!!

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

for you,,,

                                                                                 

I have loved you since day one,,,
not one single day did I ever forget that,,,

and treated each day as beginnings.

Being far away from you did not hinder me from showing my love
We have fights yes, don't all relationships have, to the petty ones to the worst kind.

God knows, I gave my all,,,everything that I have because I believe that when you love someone you do not hinder yourself from doing it.

I followed everything you asked of me to. Accepted all that you have and all that you are.

All I wanted was someone to share my life with, to share who I am and what I can do, who can boost my morale after all the storms I've been through.

And still looking for that,,, and not giving up on it.

sure you have questioned my loyalty over and over again, and still my love and loyalty remains standing still after all that's been through. I have been sorry enough and made me suffer enough, but someone up there knows that there is NOBODY in my life except for you and the little one.

Hurtful words have been said, that crushed my inner most soul and made my heart driven mad to anguish and pain.

Inspite of that, I still loved you and will always until the last of my breath.

What everybody does for LOVE

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Love

What I did for
Love
















What I did for...

Love
Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye.

And point me t'ward tomorrow.

Point me t'ward tomorrow
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
[Diana]
What I did for love

Love

when you ache,,,

Offer yourself the sacrament of new beginning.

Put any story that you are the one and only human exception to

:we all make mistakes, we all get hurt, we all need help::

Next::

Open your arms, lean back, look up and ask for healing to come into your bruised heart. Ask for exactly the healing you need. Go ahead, be specific.

Now::

List what hurts. What went wrong. What might never go right.

For each ouch cataloged, offer someone and then yourself a kindness – an alternating prayer chain of healing. A love note hidden in his boxers & a love note written to yourself. The bird feeder filled & a lovely lunch savored. A poem emailed to a friend & a poem read out loud for your own ears. Transmute the hurt into kindness.

Refuse to sip the sweet with a thimble and gulp the sour with a bucket.

May the hurt in your heart be healed::

through courage

connection

pleasure

neediness

chocolate

and sweet rest.

:)
