Thanks Graham for having Lynette share one of her poems. In answer to her question, the recent heart to heart experience was when I had conversations with my 2 children about losing their dad and how I felt I had let them down. Through those conversations, our relationships have become much closer, we were close before that but it’s much deeper now. Even now as I share this, I’m teary eyed recalling the talks, it was a release of heart heavy feelings for me.
Am looking forward to the chat in November, love the question idea!
I am very blessed and have had so many Heart to Heart moments with old and now new friends. My heart & myself is guided solely by God who is the light that shines in the darkness. Whenever you see darkness, notice the LIGHT shines and will always be crystal clear and it will always prevail.
Second note, I love the idea about the one question for the next chat. Sorry, I missed the last one, but I needed that time and space after a challenging week. I look forward to Nov. 5th.
I enjoyed your poem today. Thank you for sharing it. I just had a heart to heart moment this morning with my husband! And like you when I write poems it usually just flows from me right to the paper with very little guidance from my logical mind. It seems we might have that in common.
This morning! When I left the receptionist at my physical therapist place chuckling at her desk, and I walked away with a big smile on my face, as well.
When Lynette says "It is our birthright," that is a literal for me. My Daddy (by showing me example after example after example) taught me how to do this. He never said to me,"See how I brought some sunshine to that grumpy person?" I just watched him. Somewhere along the way, I began to try to do what I had seen him do so many times. It has brightened many a day for me. Now, what Lynette and Graham are challenging me is to think: Am I choosy about picking the people to share my Daddy's percious gift? I know the present answer is yes. Work to do!
Thank you Lynette and Graham. That is a beautiful poem. I shared many heart to hearts with a very special friend who has sadly passed away.However the lovely memories are still here in my heart. Richest blessing to both of you and so pleased that Graham is feeling better
For me, I used to be the Prayer Chairperson for a Bible study of over 200 women. I have heard so many tragic and miraculous stories to pray about. One, in particular, was a lady who wanted me to pray with her about whether she should marry the man she had been dating for a while. She was extremely educated, accomplished, well off, and beautiful inside and out. She was im her late 40’s and had never been married. We prayed together many times over this. As I prayed for her, my heart really connected to her hopes, dreams and fears. She did end up marrying him. We are now the best of friends. Our husbands really like each other. We travel together. We laugh together. We meet for dinner. She attends my craft class each month. We walk together, which is when we have our deepest talks. Our hearts have really connected on so many levels! She has become a very treasured friend. You never know where prayer may lead you!
What a Beautiful story! So important to seek God’s Guidance in all decisions we make but especially in such a serious decision as Marriage! That choice should never be taken lightly. I too am a Prayer Warrior and Love it when God comes through and Proves himself through our prayers and Obedience! ❤️👍
I Loved this ! As did everyone else who commented. I switched over to substack about a month ago and haven’t had a chance to enjoy partaking in it yet so this was a treat.So wonderful to see Graham looking so Good and feeling better and just hearing his kind soft spoken, upbeat voice , made my Day! The Poem was wonderful and presented in such a peaceful way and environment. It’s hard transition into winter from summer and fall. I live where it’s getting cold and dark way to early and fast and these little inspirational talks and Poems help lift my spirits. I Praise God for how you make time for People Graham.
Wow a beautiful poem thank you Graham for having Lynette and sharing her poem. I finally read your Tuesday poem very late as I have been driving all day to get home. I had driven 702 miles today and now home for awhile . What a month I had , I was able to rest after my surgery as I couldn’t drive . I had a good heart to heart discussion with my surgeons for allowing me to rest and letting me own all of my scars. Also I delivered a speech to 23 cancer patients and four patients reach out to speak to me 1:1 and we had a heart to heart talk. I love this community meeting new friends from all over the world very kind human and mostly I love your idea one question for next chat. Cheers!
Thank you Graham and Lynette. A beautiful poem. I would have to say the only person that I had hearts to hearts with was my late husband. Being married for 46 years, we knew everything about each other, our likes, dislikes, personal thoughts that we shared. I miss that. We still have them; he just can’t be here in person.
Thank you for sharing Lynette’s beautiful poem! Thankful that prayers were answered and you are feeling bettered! There was much heart to heart sharing for me this past Friday at the 19th annual MAK Memorial Golf Tournament . This tournament honors the life of my daughter and the positive impact she made in so many people’s lives. Scholarships are awarded annually at three area high schools in her memory with the proceeds from the tournament. The hugs and the conversations throughout the day were heartfelt and encouraging. Friends , family, and strangers who played for the 1st time talked to me and each other about Megan and reminisced about days gone by. There is so much joy in my heart as well as love and sincere gratefulness! We are so blessed to have the love and support of so many people. Thank you for allowing me to express this.
Hello Graham and Lynette... Thank you for this poem, he is amazing... I missed you guys together, bringing us the best for our well being, helping us to find ourselves, to value ourselves, to love ourselves. As they did in #Mathamagical.
I have all the episodes of "Reflections on the Journey", saved in a playlist... Whenever I feel down, I go there and listen... and I heal...
From heart to heart...
My heart suffers, loving without being loved.
Wanting to be unique...
Wanting to be desired...
My heart seeks you, knowing that it will not find you, it suffers for not having a love, to whom it can surrender...
Part of the chorus says “Cause on the bright side of being broken is a heart that’s busted open…” to me in order to have heart to heart moments, we have to be vulnerable. We have to have our hearts busted open in order to connect. I find that my True connection comes from my relationship with God. I rely on those moments and that relationship to keep me going so I’m then able to show my True Self with others. ❤️ to ❤️ 🙏
Tricia. Love what you shared. I too have Learned to Totally try my Best to Rely on God to get my true Purpose and meaning and ask for his Help to know exactly what I am suppose to do! Love some of his interesting Ways of Showing me. Thank you for sharing from your Heart How much God Means to you! I feel the same.,plus Love MercyMe’s songs. They Truely are Heart to Heart messages! ❤️👍🙏
Good morning Graham and to all my THC community thank you for the poem Lynette. I don’t have an answer to the question yet One day I will have an answer. I am happy to see you feeling better GW please take care of yourself I am looking forward to your next book..
Thank you for the beautiful poem Lynette & Graham. It is nice to see you feeling better Graham. This poem is a good question that I ask myself everyday and try to find the answers to. One day I will get that answer.
Thank you Lynette for the beautiful poem!! And Graham thank you for letting Lynette share her poem! I loved it.
My last heart to heart was last Saturday with my brother. He is youngest of my brothers. He is dying of COPD. I sat down with him at a birthday party for my next to the youngest brother. It was a conversation I needed to have because I wanted him to know how much I love him and to try and convince him to quit smoking and get on the lung transplant list. But he will not consider it. He fills like he don't deserve it because he smokes and that he did it to himself. He told me that it wouldn't be fair to take a lung from someone who may need it worse than him. He told me he was gonna be OK no matter what. He said I know where I am going and I am ready to go and see mom and dad. But that is a hard pill to swallow. I am selfish I am not ready for him to go. He said he got saved and Baptized. I am happy for him for that! But I wanted him to live down here longer.
I am praying that God will heal him!! I am praying hard. I want the Lord's will to be done!! I have had a lot of heart to heart talks with the Lord too. I will continue to do so!! I am gonna tell you that I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart and I know that He is in control and if it is His will He will heal my brother. I believe that!!! His name is Billy if any of you want to pray for him! I would appreciate it so much!!! God bless you all!!! Thank you again Graham and Lynette!!! ❤🙏😇🥰😘

Thank you for sharing, Lynette and Graham. I feel I have had heart to heart moments with dear friends as well as two mentors in particular. When I was thinking of my reply a song by MercyMe kept coming to my mind. Here is a link to it. https://open.spotify.com/track/2YgbSkabtAH3XHHPOPjqYg?si=yIlSk85jQImQYU-HSS97EQ
