RECIPE FOR A MIRACLE

  • 1 cup Tension
  • 2 cups Stress
  • 1 teaspoon of Guilt
  • 2 heaping cups of Limited Time
  • 3/4 tablespoon of Urgency
  • A dash of “No Other Choice”
  • 3 heaping cups of Faith

Fold ingredients gently into a bowl.

Mix vigorously and add a few tears.

You’ll sweat a little as you knead the dough.

Pack it firmly between your hopes and dreams and form into a perfect little ball.

Sprinkle it with a little faith, rolling the ball in the flour until fully covered.

Place it under a veil of belief and allow it to rise.

Put it in an oven that has been pre-set at the perfect temperature for the heat of trials and tribulations.

Allow it to brown under the warmth of God’s love.

Remove after due season and allow to cool in the confidence of His promise.

Garnish with your praises.

Arrange neatly on a platter of thankfulness and serve to friends, families and, oh yes, strangers . . . invite them too!

Pass on the recipe to all who request it and let them know that with this recipe, they have the makings of a miracle!

Have A Blessed Day!

THE DOOR OF HAPPINESS

When the door of happiness closes,
another one opens;

but often times we look so long
at the closed door
that we don’t see the one
which has been opened for us
.



Don’t dwell on the past when things go wrong.
Look for the opened doors all around you!

THE SPIRIT OF PLAY

What to you brings happiness?
No wonder ’tis well sought
But happiness is contagious
And easily is caught

So acquaint yourself with fine spirit
And bind it with a knot
To keep it close forever
For ’tis something you forgot

The child in you remembers well
And begs you bring them back
Those long and happy playful days
That now your life may lack

 

HAPPINESS IS:

An artistic squiggle
A toddler’s giggle
It’s a warm glow inside

The sky at dawn
A baby being born
Its that feeling of deep joy

A sparkling waterfall
A crisp cuckoo’s call
It’s a lightness in your life.

 

Only beauty abounds
No discordant sounds
It’s a knowing you are free.

 

 

 

Decide to be Loving
It’s their right
Tell family, friends and pets
I love you
Hold them tight

by Pauline Oliver
