On a cold day in December some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the young boy and said, “My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window! "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy’s reply. The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy’s feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, “No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.” As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face with tears in his eyes, asked her......

God's Wife?
Mamaw & Uncle Roe
Even though he wasn’t my Father, he helped my Grandmother raise me. My kids were his pets.
Great Grandma
This is the Grandma, that I knew, the one with no teeth, with a smile that could light up the whole room. I was her “pet”, and that was just fine with me. This was the picture they put in the local newspaper on her 95th birthday(1956). She received a letter from the State Senator at the time, wishing her Happy Birthday. I wish I could remember who he was…..lol.

Flowers of the Heart
Deep within the sanctuary
Of our soul there is a glade,
Where the grass is always green
The flowers never fade.
Nowhere is a garden sweeter,
Than the one love’s own hands tend,
There affection falls like sunlight,
Warming and awakening.
Everlasting are the blooms
That nourish the heart,
Little lights, little shadows,
Who can tell the two apart?
He who plants the smallest kindness,
Sows indeed a mighty seed,
For through years, like little acres
Only love uproots the weeds!

Dear John
I really am sorry that you passed away. I wasn't that close to you, but you had an occasion to enter my life areas, when you accompanied your wife. Your wife was a part of my last husband's past and I dealt with her, as well as I could. You weren't very important, but had your ways, as I did.
I guess, you just never made much of an impression on me, that I could enjoy. I wasn't too excited to see you or be where you were, during all those years. I felt you looked down your nose at everyone, and always had a smart or snide remark to plant on everyone in your path.
I guess you are finally with your wife, but I'm afraid you'll have to get in line, the same way you did, when she was alive. I know the cancer, must have been hard on you and it finally got you to give up. I'm sorry for your demise and wouldn't wish that on anyone. To this I can only add.........may God, rest your soul

Timothy 1:7
Relationships.....
Today's young people are truly obnoxious, loud and unruly, to say the least. This was the type of situation, that caused my demise. I wasn't ready for the onslaught this person, attacked me with. Needless to say, it made it's rounds at the place I worked and I was let go, because of back stabbing, jealous and opportunistic people. I am glad in a way that it's over, but my integrity and feelings are involved. I feel letdown, by the boss and the other co-workers. This shouldn't have happened the way it did. I don't like it but can't change what has happened, so I will go on and make the best of a bad situation.

A Poem To Bobby Joe
When you weren't there with me,
I'd want the time to start anew...
A life in eternity.....me and you.
Without you close to me,
The days would be so lonely.....
I'd have no purpose once again.
No reason to enjoy living,
Without you by my side,
My heart would run again to hide.
I'd not be full of love,
To give to this special man, with me.
For you would take my heart with you.
Lifeless, then I would be,
Stripped of all thats........ life to me.
Once again to wander, helplessly........
Looking for a special love like thee.......
To fill the space you'd leave in me.
Without you what would I be?
NOTHING......and very lonely....you'd see
So, Bobby let me be,
a special love to you....each day
As from the start, always brand new.
Never to ever be, lonely without......Me.
I Love you...........
Always,
Nita Kaye Stephens

Hello Papaw
I remember how you acted towards me, and how you were in a bad mood all the time. I knew to stay back away from you, when you were home, you just didn't want me near you.
I found out later that it was what I represented to you, an not me as a child. I guess it was me as a child too, because you resented having me in your home for my grandmother to take care of.
It seems that I was the offspring of the one person, who didn't go along with your rules, and at best I couldn't even rate the time of day from you since, you were mad at her for leaving me with my grandmother, to raise. You felt I was a burden on the household, and that I caused you more trouble than I was worth.
You said mean hurtful things to me and I was just a small child. It's very hard for a small child to understand the mean remarks made by one of the people in it's world.
My grandmother, tried to do her best to shelter me, but you always managed to catch me when she wasn't close by.
I remember asking you for a dime, to get some candy at the candy store, one day, and you told me to "get away from you that my grandmother was the one who took me to raise, not you".
I guess that's why the day you died, it was a relief, instead of grief. I saw my grandmother take care of you "hand and foot", during your last years, without a mumble. I know you were not feeling well, but you talked to her so mean, when she didn't do things exactly the way you wanted them. I sort of feel like she was relieved that it was over, too.
I remember going to your funeral, and standing back away from your casket, scared that you weren't really dead, and might move or come back to life and grab me. As I stood there I said in my heart and thoughts, "yeah, you can't hurt me anymore, your dead, ha ha". "You can't do nothing to me now".
That''s an awful thing for a young girl to say under her breath to a dead grandpa, lying in his casket, but it came from the heart.
I'm sorry you couldn't have enjoyed me as a child. I'm sorry I was in your way and that my mother, didn't follow your rules, and you pushed her away. I became the victim of your wrath towards my mother, and she wasn't even there. I guess that made it even worse. Either way you never gave me a chance, and always treated me like the very filthy thing you said I was. A illegitimate bastard that my mother dropped on you.
Thanks a lot, Papaw......I really needed that to start off my young life.
Sincerely
Nita Kaye

A Prayer From A Friend
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this Day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And give the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others.
I pray for those that don't believe.
I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
I pray for each and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes.
I pray that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words will be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.
God, I love you and I need you.
Please Come into my heart,
Amen.
Scripture
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts, and minds through Christ Jesus.
