Give Me My Flowers While I’m Living
Give Me My Flowers While I’m Living
(click to listen)
In this world today while we’re living
Some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our caskets
They always slip some lilies in our hand
Won’t you give me my flowers while I’m living
And let me enjoy them while I can
Pleae don’t wait till I’m ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
In this world is where we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can’t give me flowers while I’m living
Then please don’t throw them when I’m gone

Sending these flowers from my house to yours – hope you’re not allergic!

OOTD – Thankful Tuesday
Hello Friends, I hope you are having a Thankful Tuesday.
First and foremost I would like to offer up prayers and condolences to those affected by yesterday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon. Last night at the dinner table I once again emphasized the importance of being thankful, staying positive and living each day as if it were your last because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. The senseless waste of time on negativity and hatred is time that any of us can ill afford – Stay Blessed my Bloggy friends!
Not just today but every day, we have so much to be thankful for starting with the glorious gifts from Mother Nature. As much as I dread getting out of bed in the morning, once I’m up and out I feel truly thankful and blessed, how can I not be?
Top and Shoes – GW Boutique – Skirt – Closet Staple
Stacked Bracelets – Rugged Wearhouse, Avon and Flea Market Vendor // Ring – Michael’s //
Earrings – Dress Barn – don’t they match this top perfectly?
WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
Linking up today with ColorBlind – hop on over and meet a new blogger
HAVE A THANKFUL TUESDAY – SMOOCHES!
Pray For Boston
20 Years Ago Today was the Worse Day of my Life
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
the lowest point – the day I cursed God!
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life,
my son lay in NICU, a mere 3 lbs, living in an incubator with tubes and wires attached to his tiny body
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
all hell broke loose in Wilmington, DE and hundreds of miles away in Maryland
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
83 days of going back and forth to the hospital to pray with and over our son
him having an aunt, me having a sister
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
souls of these two departed this earthly world
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
around 7:00 in the evening the soul of my lil sis was departing her body
she sat trapped in a burning car, wedged underneath the body of a tractor trailer
being dragged to her untimely death….burning tears filling her eyes as they do mine with the thought of 20 Years Ago today
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
around 7:00 in the evening the soul of my lil son was departing his body
heart rate dropped, breathing stopped, monitors beeping uncontrollably
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
The souls passed, one guided back to the body while the other ascended into heaven
the soul of the child returned, heart beating strongly, breathing stabilized, his life restored
20 Years Ago today was the worse day of my life
My mother’s baby daughter and her twin brother, both gone too soon
sis and uncle traveled together for the last time passing through the Pearly Gates
20 Years Ago today was the worse and best day of my life
Rest In Heaven
