Quotes For Overcoming

Here’s another previously published post.  Hopefully, it will minister to someone.  Also hopefully, I’ll be back to writing new posts in about a week.

 

Resurrection Day

Celebrating life today and continuing it everyday.  May you be filled with life and love.

 

 

Staying the Course

I have built a fence of gold for righteousness, and given it a gate of silver for judgment.

Passing through it judges the heart and mind to do what is right.

Within the fence is a house built of love.

It is for the protection of hearts and minds so that cruelty does not plant seeds.

It is a place of rest for the weary.

From Kindheart101

Kindheart101 contacted me.  She is taking a well deserved break from her computer, but wanted me to share the following song with you.

She and I are people who carry the burdens of others.  Our compassion runs deep and there are times when others run to us because they know they will receive the attention, mercy, and kindness that they need to lift them up.  After the healing, we are often exhausted.

Kindheart101 needs our positive thoughts right now.  She is going into a cocoon stage where she will come out strong and fly again, but while she in the cocoon stage, let’s not forget that it can be a lonely, dark place.

 

It Has Been A Long Week

It is Friday already.  Seems like yesterday was Monday.

Butterflydreamer2 had a birthday this week.  Yahtzeebutterfly covered the Ted Wafer trial, along with other magnificent participants.  I’m afraid that if I try naming everyone that I might inadvertently omit someone, so here’s a huge thanks to everyone.  It certainly was not easy following a trial that was not live streamed.

Justice for Renisha is no longer a hope but a reality.  We lift up her parents, family and friends.  Nothing will ever replace Renisha, but knowing that the jury entered a ruling based on facts and the law is like having an eternal flame.  May it brighten the path for others to follow.

We continue moving forward in hope and love for peace, not only in our nation of America, but for all inhabitants on Earth, including all creatures, great and small.

Many things are weighing on my mind, it is nearly impossible to turn on the television, open a newspaper or even look at social media without being bombarded by the most recent human tragedy. The problem I have is the magnitude of those tragedies; our response, as a nation…

Taking a Break – June 26, 2014

Caterpillars, moths, butterflies and all creatures great and small,

I have had to make a hard decision.  It is generally understood that changes come with life.  Responsibilities and priorities can be added to and/or change daily.  With that said, I am scheduled for a medical procedure in July, and am not now feeling 100 percent. Along with my health, there is personal business that I must give attention to.

No — I have no plans to stop blogging.  Blackbutterfly7 isn’t going into blog limbo.  What I don’t want is for readers and participants to anticipate the frequency of new blog articles as in the past year.  After the second week of July, I’m hoping to return  stronger. 

For now, what I plan to do is reblog from some of my, and your, favorite bloggers until I am feeling well enough to dig into the research that I like and use in writing for this blog.

In other words, I’ll still be around, but can’t promise how much time I’ll have for writing.  Feel free to continue posting comments.
