Grateful...

Want to take five minutes with me and just write

without worrying if it’s just right or not?

Here’s how we do it:

1. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing.

2. Link back here to Gypsy Mama and invite others to join in

{you can grab the button code in her right side bar}

3. Go and tell the person who linked up before you

what their words meant to you.

Every writer longs to feel heard.

OK, are you ready?

Give me your best five minutes for the prompt:

Grateful…



is my heart on this day ~

on this gorgeous summer day of blue skies,

cooling breezes,

parkland of green as i survey the world out my window... 

and

walk the roadways of memory...

27 years of memories with you, my son,

my baby to manhood memories

joy, so much joy, in those memories

in that gratitude to God for the gift that is you ~

the smiling face,

the encouraging strength,

the FUN that is wrapped up in you,

in your heart of LoVe!

yes, grateful is my heart.

to you too for being true to who you are.

being the young man who walks to beat of his heart's drum.

who hears the beat of your heavenly Father's heart

for you

and

walks in step, in His rhythm.

how can i be anything but grateful?

** HapPiesT BiRThDay! **

all my LOVE,

MoM

The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;

     The Lord make His face to shine upon

and

enlighten you and be gracious

{kind, merciful, and giving favour}

to you

     The Lord lift up His {approving} countenance upon you

and give you peace

{tranquility of heart and life continually}.

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Nbrs 6.24-26
