I haven't taken the time to blog in recent months. Things always get in the way of my being able to take the time to wander in my brain and express my thoughts. Maybe that is a good thing. I started this blog with one thought in mind, and then I wandered off on a tangent about my work. I cannot post anything about my work, so I put those thoughts in a personal document for myself.
My original idea for this blog was to write about my dear, sweet family members who are in heaven" my mamma, my daddy, my Granna, my Grandma, my aunts, my uncles, my Grandpa, my cousins, and others for whom the definition of kindness aptly describes. My whole family lived a life of kindness and gentleness as set forth in the Bible. Although each of them was quiet and humble about their own greatness, they each possessed wonderful qualities that showed their faith in the Lord our God, and they all practiced his teachings with grace, dignity, and humility. In other words, they were awesome examples of God's word that we find in the book of Proverbs: Chapter 3: verses 1 - 4.
"My child, do not forget my teaching. Keep my commands in mind. Then you will live a long time, and your life will be successful. DON'T EVER STOP BEING KIND AND TRUTHFUL. LET KINDNESS AND TRUTH SHOW IN ALL YOU DO. WRITE THEM DOWN IN YOUR MIND AS IF ON A TABLET, THEN YOU WILL BE RESPECTED AND PLEASING TO BOTH GOD AND MEN."
I love and miss my family members who are in heaven very, very much. I feel so lost without them. I know that they are all in my heart forever, but I miss having them close beside me to hug and kiss, talk to, and to just have them near me each day.
I guess it has taken me a while to get this entry written, because I get so lost in my mind that I cannot finish it. I actually started this particular entry about a month ago, but I haven't been able to finish it. I will just say that I love my mamma and daddy and all of my relatives who are in heaven. I love ALL of my relatives who are living. Keep your loved ones close. Do not take them for granted, for they will not always be with you.
Be kind and gentle to them. We need more kindness in this world of ours. The wonderful generation that came before us knew all about kindness and gentleness. We should all take after their examples and be the wonderful people that they always were and who they taught us to be.
Good night.
