Thanks Graham for another great poem!! The world is constantly changing! Things are different! But I have come to realize that I have got to make some changes in my life. There is things happening and I am sick and tired of it all. I need a change. I am the only one who can do it. It is is hard. But I will be better off if I do this! I just have to sit down and decide how to go about it.
Thanks for inspiring me to make a change! I love your words each week and I know they come from your heart. Love you very much Graham.
Now I need you and everyone on this platform to be praying for me because I got some bad news a bout my baby brother. He has COPD and the doctor gave him 6 months to a year to live. His lung capacity is only 22% please pray for him and also for me. My baby brother is really close to me. I don't want to lose him!!! My heart is breaking💔 right now. Thank you all in advance for the prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear your news. I have lost those close to me as well. The journey is not one we choose most definitely. What I did was to fill the days left with all the happy times and preserve the memories forever. When my dearest friend/sister was diagnosed with brain cancer and given short months to live I promised my self and her that we would pack those precious days with all the fun excursions possible. Now when I look back though I miss her every day, I treasure each one of the days we were gifted for all the beautiful memories of her I have. That’s my best thought for you as well! Many prayers. 🙏🏻💜
I'm sorry to hear you have received the news regarding your brother....prayers for peace and comfort for you. My husband lived many years with COPD, using oxygen full time..it was never easy....
I like the phrase, Hone your honesty. That resonates with me. And it is much easier to tuck the hurtful things away then it is to face them and possibly disrupt your own life. But you are correct these things will still find a way to come out and they will need to be dealt with somehow. I think just easing off the brake completely and easing off the gas a little too might work. Slow down. Give yourself time. Change takes time. You don't want to jump before you are ready. But ease into the change and practice being the new you.
Graham, just one more of your beautiful poems. So great and so thought-provoking for me. This resonates with me ln a way that I need to keep asking myself this question "Have I had Enough"? Enough of what? I will continue to keep asking myself this question, until I have an answer. When I have that answer I will do what I need to do. For now I just simply need to spend some time reflecting on what is happening in my life. Thank you so much Graham, for making me think about all of this, and forcing myself to find some answers. You most definitely have a talent to get people thinking!!!! Graham the video was great,. I could listen to you forever!!!! May God bless you .❤️❤️🙏🙏.
Sometimes, when we’ve been ill and had to spend more time on the couch then we would like, we give our bodies the time they need to heal. In addition, we have medicine to help, juices and vitamins to take. It isn’t as easy, I don’t think for our hearts and our minds. We spend that couch time contemplating and pondering; perhaps allowing our courage to face our fears to slip away. We question our honesty. We reflect on our sadness , perceived sins and lost trust. If only there were meds for courage, honesty and trust. Since we as humans are not there yet, we must have faith that tomorrow will bring a rekindling of those qualities we seek, the forgiveness of those we want to shed and shine a light on our hiding places. Blessings to you Graham.
Wow the subject is serious, and powerful. What to say ?
Every poem Graham writes hits my heart. I feel like they were meant for me. And each time I go back to the day of February 18, 1998. This day when my life changed. Even unbalanced.
Besides, I still haven't regained my balance. This part of me, which flew away that day. I'm a fan of fate. How not thought, sometimes to join this dove, this love of my life. But here to go to the act, it takes a lot of courage. I don't have one, at least not for that. You also have to be very selfish, I'm not, I have my daughters and 7 grandchildren. So just look at them to erase bad thoughts. Despite the pain, their smiles soothe, and the smile returns, the sky clears to give way to blue skies and fills with sunshine. So I tell myself that despite everything, life is worth living. To warm my heart.
I came here this am after writing down this quote that I came across this morning. I love quotes that mean something to me. " When writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen." Why did I like this particular quote? Because I let others hold the pen for far too long in my life. It took me a long time to come to this realization. When I started to hold the pen, I began to be happier with myself. Like you say Graham, it's not always easy, but it can be so freeing. I am still on that journey, but it gets better all the time and I don't intend to go back. I set boundaries, I'm not the people pleaser I once was, for far too long, I have shed some toxic people in my life, and I'm just more at peace within, instead of feeling frustrated and discontented.
Don't live your life by someone else's rules. Gamble on yourself, it might surprise you. Always be kind, and follow your heart. I've learned to trust my gut.
Loved your poem and thank you for sharing your thoughts. I feel so blessed to be part of this. God Bless.
Hello Graham another awesome poem for today.Thank you.I had enough I told myself in my younger age.I had enough with my worldly life and I ended it when I made my commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.I accepted Him as my personal Saviour then my life changed.My old self was gone and my priorities were different.I started to serve in church like singing in choir,teaching Sunday School or bring food for potluck.I had enough with my worldly life.Now I am on my late 70’s I have no regrets.I have a happy life living one day at a time. I am living a happy life I have good children and grandchildren who loveme dearly.I still travel around places I haven’t seen with my children.Thank you Lord I did the right path.
Sherry Kerman nice to hear from you. Thank you dear for liking my comment I will pray for you. Just message me if you have a prayer request.God loves us.
Thank you Kathy you like my comment.Right now I am enjoying life I have love,contentment and peace in my heart.Thank you for liking my comment.God will guide you every step of your way.God bless you dear.
Hi GrahamWardle. Thanks for the beautiful text. We are in a constant process of change, as long as we are alive. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to direct, strengthen and empower us. God bless you always.😘♥️🇧🇷
Graham, this poem so describes my journey these last 8 months. As I have shared before my heart had been heavy for many years, last March I had “ had enough”. A cameo message from you gave me the strength to no longer pretend everything was ok and face the feelings I had been hiding all those years. The release from those feelings has been so rewarding, many blessings have flowed into my life, my heart is no longer heavy and I’m appreciating all the moments in life. My hand is on my heart, I listen more for guidance and my faith is teaching me to follow the “guide inside”. Now I’m working on getting “ balance “ back in my life. Thanks for this poem to remind me to continue being honest with myself, not pretend it’s all fine and trust my faith. Blessings as you continue on your journey taking the leap of faith to write a new story for your life. May this new story be filled with happiness, peace, and love.
Thank you Graham for the wonderful poem! Have I had enough? In some ways yes and I don’t know how to really go about fixing what I am going through or how to get there yet. I know I have to make changes and only I can do that, but I have to make some decisions before I can make them. Your poem really opens that up for me to think about how to do this. Thanks for sharing your heart with us and everyone else for sharing theirs as well.
Great poem. I often have enough but with family commitments I struggle still to not take the leap. These commitment sometimes become consuming and pray for things to get better to when I can take that leap.
Thank you for this week's poem, moved me a lot, because that's what happened to me, my overcoming...
In my opinion we never have enough!
Something is always missing, we think we can always do better... That we deserve more... Life allows us to choose, seek, chase, or be content with what we already have. We can't always put our heart ahead. In addition to emotion, there is reason. Being ready to admit that what we have is enough, it's not easy, not for me...
I'm very much in favor of the new, the searches, the changes, that's why I'm always looking for new paths, new emotions, new beginnings and beginnings.
I hid myself for a long time behind dark feelings, dark thoughts, and what I was sure was that nothing adds to us, Having this lifestyle. Looking ahead, going in search of my self, walking new paths, opened up for me a horizon with infinite possibilities, a colorful horizon, full of light and adventures...
I'll meet you around, at any bend in this road, we call "Life"!!! Graham be happy
Thank you, Graham for onother beautiful thought provoking , soul stirring poem. This one really seemed to be speaking directly to ME. I have pondered most of these same thoughts many times. Prayer has helped me navigate how I feel about my feelings about each one. You have such a gift of sharing your heart and your encouragement with each of us in very special ways. I really appreciate you and your genuine goodness. Blessings to you!
