What do you say...

Among the many things I think we do incorrectly, as children of the Light, is that we take God, His grace and mercy, and each other for granted.

We sleepwalk through our daily existence as if tomorrow is promised to all of us. We put our love, accolades and apologies on hold and on our to-do lists, assuming that we will get around to it tomorrow...or later, when we have time.

When God puts something in my path to make me take my eyes off myself, and on to others, I try to pay attention.

I have a friend who is dying...soon.

I am frequently moved to music, when I can't find the words to speak or write.


The first song is, " This May Be the Last Time, I don't know?"


Before my mother died a few years ago, this was my most pressing thought every time I left her house. We all need to learn to treat each other as if this moment in time may indeed be the last time we will see each other this side of heaven.


The second song is, "Give My Flowers, while I can smell them"...


Give me my flowers,
While I yet live,
So that I can see the beauty,
That they bring.

Speak kind words to me,
While I can hear them,
So that I can hear the beauty
that they bring.


And, a third is a song which most of you have probably never heard of, is called, "Mother Theresa"


"What do you say to someone, who has given her life for the world?

What do you say to someone, who has shone God's light on the world?

We Love you, we love you...oh, we'll miss you...oh, we love you


She cared for the sick and the dying,
Fed the malnourished, and the ones that were crying,
Comforted every one of God's children,
Yes she did, yes she did.....All of God's children

What do you say to someone, who has given their life for the world?

What do you say to someone, who has shown God's love to the world?

We Love you, we love you...oh, we'll miss you...oh, we love you

She lived in this world, but no of it
All things taught, she did it
An angel going to God's heaven,
Who can deny it?

An angel going to God's heaven,
Who can deny it?
What do you say to someone, who has given her life for the world?

What do you say to someone, who has shown God's love to the world?

We Love you, we love you...oh, we'll miss you...oh, we love you

And if we write her life story,
One word says it all,
And that word would be....LOVE!
Unconditional love...... for God's children.

And, what do you say to someone, who has given their life for the world?
What do you say to someone, who has shown God's love to the world?
We Love you, we love you...oh, we'll miss you...oh, we love you
We Love you, we love you...oh, we'll miss you...oh, we love you

We Love you, and the good that you do...

We'll always look back to you

we love you... we love you.... we love you."


"Mother", thank you for your faith, love, support, encouragement, chastisement, life lessons, laughs we shared...for all that you do, all that you give, and all that you are. Thank you for being my mother when I needed one, and my spiritual sister when I needed that, too.


May God's love continue to shine on you!

Do you owe someone some flowers or a song?

Do it today!

Tomorrow is not promised...
