Fathers (poem)

I should have written this for Father's day, but it was not put on my heart until now.

FATHERS

When you held me
As a child
You always rushed off
With your life

When you looked at me
As a teenager
You were blind to
My pain
And my growth

When you talk to me
As an adult
You are trying to re-raise
Me........now

It is never too late
Fathers
To re-develop
A relationship
So peaceful
And loving

It is never too late
Fathers
To listen and learn
To love and live
From your children

Fathers
You have to
Open your eyes
To the right now
To the right here
To the child you have
Not the one you missed

Fathers
You have to
Open your hearts
To the love
Pouring out
From the child you have
Not the one you missed

Fathers
Time is running out
It is never too late
To leave the past behind
To have a future
To love and live

Fathers
Time is running out
You can't be mothers
You can't be sisters
It's too late to be friends

Fathers
Just be you
Let them be them
And let go of the
Past......

Fathers
Live for today

We're Always Trying (Still Smiling 2007)

Women are the foundation of many families. We have to make it regardless. When our "rib", not our back bone, when our rib is pushed and pulled and weakened, we can only lean on the Lord. Men, saved or not, don't have anything to be sorry about or take issue with; their wives and mothers have always taken care of business. Women are the foundation of many families. When the kids look a mess, people look to the mother. What isn't she doing right to keep these kids together. It's the foundation of the mom that stabilizes the kids. What is her foundation? If she is rooted in the Lord, she is still smiling. If she is rooted in the Lord, that "rib" will mend. If she is rooted in the Lord, her prayers will be answered. Still smiling. A woman of God's foundation is rooted in prayer, and fasting. Life style changes according to God's word. But, no ma'am it's not that easy. A woman whose foundation was not solid, that is getting solid

Blessing in the Sheets

We have had many ups and downs and struggles from left to right, but there is a blessing on the rise in the form of sheets. Sheets Are Us will contribute $5 to the organization from various purchases. What do I mean by various? When you place your order for the 1200 Egyption Thread Sheets and put 4MK next to your name, they will make the donation. Isn't that a blessing? A for sure blessing in disguise. We have been reaching for the stars and pulling on air, but there are angels in our midst that are helping us. Please go to http://www.sheetsareus.com/main.sc  to make your purchase.

A Mother's Story about her Son

I have a networking buddy, Yvette Newman, who is awesome in business and relationships! Below is her story about her wonderfully artistic and business minded son! Most of you all might not know me but I am a proud mother. My son Arnie Newman is very talented in art. He started out very young just drawing on paper. Then one day we started watching a tv show called Papa’s Land where an old man drew pictures. I use to take a vcr tape and record it and go step by step for my son to draw. As time moved on he went to school won 1st place in drug awareness poster contest. He even was seen at the fairs. When he reached high school He took all art classes. His talent was seen even more.
