#sings

When one sings, one does not speak about the problems of the every day. One speaks about the things which inspire us, which helped us. ↗

This morning of the small snow I count the blessings, the leak in the faucet which makes of the sink time, the drop of the water on water. ↗

The most important thing in my life is to be the best mother that I can be to my daughter and two sons; full of blessings and love. I can guide them, pray for their goals to be achieved, and follow a good path; but ultimately it will be up to them to live their own lives and make their own choices knowing there are rewards and consequences. ↗

People whose history and future were threatened each day by extinction considered that it was only by divine intervention that they were able to live at all. I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed. ↗
