"Friends are Angels sent by God."

"Friends are Angels sent by God."

(Author Unknown)

Have you ever found a friend

That makes your heart glow

Someone who is wonderful

You feel honored to know.

Someone to laugh with perhaps even to cry

Someone whom you love no matter what they do

Someone who looks up to you when you don´t know why

Someone who just seems to understand you.

Someone that you think of day and night

Someone you pray for as you go to bed

Someone who shows up when the time is just right

Thoughts of them are always in your head.

Someone who shares with you all your ups and downs

Someone who appears when ever there is a need

Someone you share smiles with replacing all your frowns

Surely you must know, God planted that seed.

These seeds God has planted here on earth

Were planted deeply in our friend´s heart

They cannot be measured by earthly worth

Only by God´s values placed here from start.

Value those friendships, honor their decisions

Respect their feelings, never make demands

Never try to make their dreams your revisions

Hold their love tightly in your hands.

Never get angry if you don´t talk to them each day

Trust in friendship, send them a piece of your heart

For a heart can still feel loved even though it´s far away

This is how God intended love to be from the start.

Place their memory in your heart and mind

See them for what they really are

Continue to love them no matter the time

Friends are Angels sent by God from afar.

HAPPY VALENTINE´S DAY!! Inspirational Reflection.

HAPPY VALENTINE´S DAY!!

I truly want to make the very best of my life. I appreciate and celebrate life. Love is the best feeling in our hearts, and the best way to show how much we care for others. Love God above all, love your family, love your parents and your grandparents, love your friends, love your wife or husband, love your children, your grandchildren, love your sweetheart, love yourself, your neighbors, love the world, love the wonder of God´s creations, love the animals, love your natural environment and so on. Become a true lover of the Universe, and show with your actions how much you care!!... This is my message of love to all readers on Valentine´s Day.
Enjoy and celebrate life today, and say "I love you" to all you truly love!! This day, I´ll include inspirational reflections to ponder.
We know that the fruits of the spirit -our inner wealth- are:
Hope, kindness, love, peace, humility, patience, tolerance, compassion, gratefulness, gratitude, wisdom, joy, meekness (a humble heart), the gift of giving, and so on...
We also know that the qualities of the character -our inner wealth- are:
Honesty, respect, responsibility, commitment, loyalty, trustworthiness, ethics, unselfishness, hardworking, cleanliness, self-assurance, control of oneself, and so on...
Are we being good fruits for our dear Lord today??... Are the qualities of our character blend well with the fruits of the spirit?? Ask yourself that question!!... Christian lives should be filled with good deeds.
"We shall know them by their fruits." Jesus Christ said in this Bible Verse. (Matthew 7: 16) Let us now, self-examine our own conscious within our inner self and see if the fruits of the spirit blend well with the qualities of the character. So, if the answer is yes, we are in balance with our own self and with the principles of a Christian life. Trust in God in all circumstances, for He is so good all the time. I believe that God is in control, and He has a plan in our lives. Count your blessings one by one, not your troubles. Find joy and peace in your heart that will make you grow stronger. Strength and peace come first from within the spirit.
It is so important to consider the way you carry yourself at your very best, and project your own image to others. So, this is the way how people may see your worth, as a whole person. Achievement is the goal to pursue for a successful life. Talk to the Lord in prayers, which is the best communication with the Lord, confess to Him what is wrong with you that may offend Him, repent, ask Him for forgiveness of your sins, ask for reconciliation with the Lord, which is so important, and promise to correct the wrong doings and make it better for the next day. So, in this way, the slow process of learning in our lifetime will make us a bit more perfect each day to the eyes of the Lord. Let us become an example of life for others to follow in the same path of a righteous Christian life.
Have you ever thought about this??... So, think about it now!!...
Thank you in advance for sharing with me this day!!
GOD MAY BLESS YOU ALL!!
HAPPY VALENTINE´S DAY!!

STARRY DAWN.
Welcome to my world!!
Why don´t you come on in!!
You´ll see a smiling sun
Shining bright into my heart.

"MESSAGE TO ALL READERS."

"MESSAGE TO ALL READERS."

 

I send a message to all readers from my self-confinement...

Like hedged with iron bars, plaster and stones, and plagued with a poignant grief of health issues, my feeble body is unable to scribble anything for a while. You see, my limbs are swelling.

Perhaps, hastening to rest in peace, while I gently pray in silence...

I apologize to you all.

Thank you in advance for reading my blogs and for your kind understanding!!

God bless,
 

Starry Dawn.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!"

"THE LAST HUG."

"THE LAST HUG."

Why do you cry crocodile??

It wouldn´t say a word nor a lie.

Our leader went to the sea.

The water was rough, not calm,

Although he insisted to swim.

His friendly crew watched him from the boat...

Why do you cry crocodile??

It wouldn´t say a word nor a lie.

I miss his touch...

Our leader dived into the sea.

The tempest arose its madness

As he gave his last hug and die.

There is a flood of tears,

Because Steve is no more near.

He would give no more hugs,

The crocodile says, as it cries and cries.

All the other animals heard, and cried aloud:

What has happened to Steve??...

They all say together as a crowd...

Why couldn´t he let it be and live!!

There is a flood in the whole world:

Oceans, rivers, ponds and lakes.

All crocodiles and other animals cry, cry and say,

As they flood all waters from their tears.

We can´t help crying. We miss his touch,

Because Steve is no more near.

He would give us no more hugs or love.

The crocodiles say, as they cry and cry.

This poem was dedicated to The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin,
who passed away in September of 2006.

The whole world and the animals miss him so much!!

"Amazing Pictures." (Part 2)

"Amazing Pictures." (Part 2)

Photographing as a process of clarifying this kind of quality, the photographer works towards creating formalized liminal spaces.

His photographs play with time and scale. His imagery suggests a formalized landscape where perspective scale and time momentarily become intangible. The viewer sees repeated dualities of stillness and movement, intense detail with blank atmospheric abstraction, man made objects found in ocean horizons, black and white images printed on colored paper, all reduced to present a sublime experience to the viewer.

The glory lies not in this act of clarification or reduction, but in the experience of what is left -sublime experience located in ordinary space: a slowly moving sky, the sun moving across a boulders surface or sea foam swirling around a pylon.

Exposed onto large-format black and white film under the light of dusk and dawn, the shutter is held open for several minutes, recording the ocean and sky as it continuously repositions itself on the negative, a process both dependent upon and vulnerable to chance.

The resultant image is an accretion of past and present. Each moment is layered over the moment immediately preceding it, a single image that embodies the weight of cumulative time and unending metamorphosis.

"Amazing Pictures."

"Amazing Pictures..."

The shorelines exhibited by the photographer´s works of art are amazing. He presents his abiding interest in the thresholds that divide and connect the sea to the land. He is fascinated with the quality of light and the spacial immensity of the ocean.

We all have enormous reverence for feeling so small in the presence of something so vast, where perspective, scale, time and distance momentarily become intangible...
