       A Mother
      When you're a child
                       She walks before you,
                To set an example.
When you're a teenager
                     She walks behind you
           To be there should you need her.
When you're an adult
            She walks beside you
                     So that as two friends
       You can enjoy life together..

A Mother's Prayer
       
       Dear Lord, It's such a hectic day,
                        With little time to stop and pray,
             For life's been anything but calm,
                   Since You called me to be a Mom,
  Running errands, matching socks,
                  Building dreams with matching blocks,
        Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes,
                     And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
          Wiping tears and giving hugs,
                      A stack of last week's mail to read,
                                So where's the quiet time I need?
   Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
                  Just at the sink or ironing board,
        To ask the blessings of Your grace,
                           I see them in my small one's face,
       That You have blessed me
                        All the while~~
          And I stop to kiss that precious smile!
                                      ~Author Unknown~

A True Friendship
  Is as rare and priceless

In a garden of lovely flowers

  Which is treasured above all
     Flowers in the Garden
Thank you for being you

       Mom, As I Look Back...
                    As I look back on my life
                                       I find myself wondering.....
                           Did I remember to thank you
                                        for all that you have done for me?
  For all of the times you were by my side
                to help me celebrate my successes
                                     and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
                         good judgement, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you for the simple things...
            The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?
     If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
               For any of these things,
         I am thanking you now....
                    and I am hoping that you've known all along,
            how very much you are loved and appreciated.

Beauty of a Woman       
    
The beauty of a woman
              Is not in The clothes she wears,
        The figure she carries,
                     Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
            Because that is the doorway to her heart,
                            The place where love resides.
      The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
                But true beauty in a woman,
                         Is reflected in her soul.
    It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
               The passion that she shows,
        The beauty of a woman,
                    With passing years - only grows.

   This print is available in 5 X 7 or matted into
   an 8 X 10.  
        Broken Dreams
       
As children bring
                   Their broken toys
             With tears for us to mend,
   I brought my broken dreams to God
                   Because He was my friend
      But then instead of leaving Him
                     In peace to work alone
                I hung around and tried to help
                         With ways that were my own
   At last I snatched them back and cried,
       “How can You be so slow”---
                “My child,” He said,
                             “What could I do?
                 “You never did let go.”

    This print looks bext done up in a beautiful
   5 X 7 oval antique look frame  with small
   flowers  or butterflies for decoration.
           The Creation of Woman

                                  When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
                                        When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
                             But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed  the breath of life into man 
                                     because your  nostrils are too delicate.
   I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.
           Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib,
          which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do.
                Around this one bone I shaped you.  I modeled you.
                              I created you perfectly and beautifully.
                 Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.
      You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
                  His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.
           The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
                      Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
                 You were not taken from his feet, to be under him,
                                Nor were you taken from his head,  to be above him.
       You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
                  You are my perfect angel.
                                   You are my beautiful little girl.
                             You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and                                                     my eyes fill when I see the  virtues in your heart.

            
  Your eyes -don't change them. Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.
                                Your nose, so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to touch.
             I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep;  I've held your heart close to mine.
              Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.
      Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely.
                      He could not see me or touch me.
                                  He could only feel me.
    So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me,
               I fashioned in you: my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love,
                             my protection and  support.
                     You are special because you are the extension of me.
              Man represents my image - woman, my emotions.
                          Together, you represent the totality of God
         So man - treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
                      In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me.
                                   In crushing her, you only damage your own heart,
                                               The heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
            Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. 
    In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that    
                              protects  his inner self.
