Dear friends for the next few days I was just going to seek to feel at peace about loosing Anne as my Sister on this earth and not post but God had other plans. I’m greatly comforted to know I can never lose Anne, in Eternity we are forever bonded in Love but I will miss her greatly, so please be patient with me if I talk about my wonderful Sister from time to time, although she is in my heart and I know we are never really apart but talking about her brings her into my arms.
Reading again what you my Blogging Family have written on your Blogs or on mine and through your e-mails or by your clicking the like button, as you sought to comfort me, has helped me to realise that I’m not alone, Jesus is holding my hand and drying my tears through you and our Unity in Him, I’m sure although at the time I didn’t realise it because I was hurting greatly, it was why I reached out to you when I heard about Anne, also I couldn’t contact many of my other friends in Australia, I just left messages, so your concern and compassion have been so comforting, thank you all so very much for being a Kings Kid, I Love you all greatly in The Lord and we too are forever bonded together in Love for Eternity.
God impressed on my heart very strongly to share with you a message that I wrote quiet a few years ago, it has been adapted slightly as God revealed more to me. It was originally written at a time in my life that I couldn’t rhyme, something that people who are Dyslectic often find very hard to do, although I had written 3 poems and a song when I was younger but they were very sad and had no endings although they do now. At the time I wrote them I thought I had lost my Best friend ( see link below ) Thanks again for your Compassion and thank you so very much for letting me share from my heart.
God’s Priceless Treasure
Have you ever made, painted, designed or invented something that has given you great joy and a feeling of accomplishment?
Painting, writing, pottery or craft can be very rewarding because although we start with raw materials, we can create something really beautiful even a masterpiece.
What a sense of accomplishment what joy, it even feels part of us maybe because we have given of ourselves to achieve it.
So we forget about all our mistakes this one object is valuable, a priceless treasure a thing of beauty.
What happens when someone comes along and calls our treasure worthless and ugly throws dirt all over it even trying to destroy it,
“How do we feel?” the heartache would be too great to describe the anger and pain too real.
Then someone else comes along who understands what we have achieved, who can see the beauty in what we have created,
They can see behind the dirt and blemishes and appreciate its true value they even want to restore it back to its original beauty regardless of the cost.
Our joy would be great we would be so thankful and our treasure would be given a place of honour and be protected.
We are God’s Priceless Treasure He created us and He doesn’t make mistakes, our value to Him is beyond measure.
Think of His pain when He sees us hurt, broken, damaged, needing to be restored.
Jesus understood His Father’s pain, He came to restore us back to our original beauty, the cost was great but His Love was greater.
We can never understand the Father’s pain or can we ever repay what He suffered so we could be restored,
But we thank Him, we thank Him with our whole lives because
He gives us His greatest Treasure.

Thank you also Clarabelle, it is a blessing to see that you take an interest in others heart thoughts, you are very special indeed.
We may not always agree with what others share and correction may be needed because of error and we also warn them if they are in danger too but we do so in Love and for Love, falling off a cliff is a hard landing.
We are all unique and on a journey, many to find the real meaning of life, each one of us is very valuable. My focus is and always will be God’s Truth, in Him we have all the answers.

Certainly Anne, here are the words for the song “God is there”:
Verse 1
When dark clouds cast over
Remember this
When worry gets to you
Remember this
Every step you take
God is there
Every move you make
God is there
Chorus
He is everywhere
You are blessed in his care
He is always there
And hears you every prayer
Verse 2
When tears fall down your face
Remember this
When empty of love and grace
Remember this
Everything you do
God is there
Every tough breakthrough
God is there
Chorus
He is everywhere
You are blessed in his care
He is always there
And hears your every prayer
Bridge
He will always listen
He will always be
Loving you forever
Setting your soul so free
Setting your soul so free cos….
Chorus (to fade)
He is everywhere
You are blessed in his care
He is always there
And hears you every prayer
God is everywhere
You are blessed in his care
God is always there
And hears you every prayer
Yes I would love you to do a power point for me, thank you that is very kind of you. One of my favorite flowers is a rose, I have 10 in my house right now, they are a soft peach colour, but I do love a red or beautiful white rose, actually red and white roses mixed together in a bunch – beautiful 🙂 I also absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cherry Blossom tree, I wrote a poem about it, here is the link: http://clarabelle.org/2012/09/27/snowing-petals-2/ Thank you Anne, I really look forward to the presentation.

When you said LOVE LOVE LOVE dear Clarabelle, although talking about the Cherry Tree, I thought you would appreciate Love as your theme too but also I feel there is a lot of Love in your heart just wanting to overflow and splash onto others, Love comes from God, all good things do and you have chosen to let it bloom.

So sorry for your loss, Annie!
It is sad to lose someone close to you. As we get older it happens more and more. Yesterday was my son-in-law’s birthday. We lost him in 2009. He would have been 57. They are never really gone from our heart and mind and they are forever alive in the presence of our wonderful Lord and Savior. One day we will be together again and the joy will be unlimited. We just have to hang in there and finish our course. I love you, Honey. My heart and prayers are with you.
Love and hugs,
