What Love Means

Posted on by

My daughter Amy, age 6, is my guest blogger today, and she would like to share her thoughts on what love means.

DSCN0019My doll Laura wants to tell you about love.  Love means showing care to people.  Love means being a nice person.  Love means telling the truth.  Love means helping people when they feel bad.  The way my doll can show love is by always being near me.  And the way I can show love is by always being very, very nice to people.  I hope you like this blog, and I’m going to say goodbye now.  So remember, love is the best way to encourage people.  Love, Amy and my doll Laura

dogs

Ok, so I just saw these dogs play the piano, and I must say that I am amazed.  And check out their happy faces while they play.  Also, no discernible “I’m the best musician around attitude”….a refreshing way to be awesome.  🙂  So watch this, you’ll be glad you did.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Fishing for Diamonds

When I was a little girl and when the sun hit the water just right, I thought there were diamonds out there in the surf.  And if I just could get there quick enough and catch one, it would stay glittery and beautiful in my hand.  But alas, those diamonds seemed to be of the stuff of leprechaun gold and fairy dust, and I was never quite fast enough to fish one out.  I sure had fun trying, though.  🙂  If you’re by the sea today, catch a diamond for me, and if you’re not, imagine yourself picking up one triumphantly in your hand for all to see.  It will make you smile and that’s a good thing.  Slainte, Lisa

“Pink is a beautiful color, because it is one of the colors that the sun makes at twilight and in the dawns.”   -C. Joybell C.

Our cherry tree is really showing off this spring, and we’re all glad of it!  🙂  When you walk underneath her boughs, it feels like, for just a moment, that you have entered some enchanted fairyland where anything is possible.  And I like that, so I walk beneath these pink blossoms as often as I can.  Enjoy the beauty today, whether it’s a drop of rain slowly falling on the windowpane, a brand new spring green clover, or a pink cherry tree.  Slainte, Lisa

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  – Psalm 118:24
