Only One Mother

Someone at work gave this to me and I wanted to share it with all of you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have...

Only One Mother

We can only have one mother,
Patient, kind, and true.
No other friend in all this world
Will be so true to you;
For all her loving kindness
She asks nothing in return;
If all the world deserts you
To other you can turn.

Many tears you’ve caused her
When you were sad or ill,
Maybe many sleepless nights,
Though grown, you cause her still.
So every time you leave her,
Or when’er you come or go,
Give her a kind word and a kiss,
‘Tis what she craves, I know.

We can only have one mother,
None else can take her place;
You can’t tell how you’ll need her
Till you miss her loving face.
Be careful how you answer her,
Choose every word you say,
Remember, she’s your mother
Now and every day.

We can only have one mother,
Oh, take her to your heart;
You cannot tell how soon the time
When you and she must part.
Let her know you love her dearly,
Cheer and comfort her each day,
You can never get another,
When she has passed away.

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
