Let your inner Child of God help. Life in this world is not easy. When everything around us makes no sense, pray. It does not matter where you are or how eloquent your wording simply ask for help. I heard Dr. Wayne Dyer speak once as he explained so beautifully that when we open our hearts to allow a divine connection with God we are always in touch with the solutions we are seeking. Please read more of his thoughts here.
I enjoy listening to a variety of inspiration music. One of my favorites is Matthew West, Hello my name is… I hope you also will take a moment to listen to the entire song by clicking below. It also speaks of reaching beyond ourselves and connecting with The Divine Spirit that can lead us to a peace that surpasses all understanding.
1 John 3:1 Behold, What Love our Father has bestowed on us…..

Much time has passed since my last post. I seem to have been at a loss for words since the passing of my grandson. Grief is a very strange thing. There is much written about it and many thoroughly explained steps of grief are defined, but there is no quick recovery and each event is so very different.
Several months before Wyatt’s passing he was very anxious and afraid. He was having bad dreams and medications were causing some hallucinations. I happened to be wearing a thin silver band ring with the word PEACE engraved on it. I gave him my ring, and had a conversation with him. “This can be your safety ring. Do you remember in church how we share the peace with our neighbor?” Shaking hands and saying “Peace be with you”. “Yes” he answered. “Wear the ring to remind you that you are safe and fold your hands and say, Dear God, Please take all the scary stuff away.” The ring reminds us that we’re not alone comfort is just a prayer away. The ring and prayers brought him comfort.
We also talked about having a family ring made. He could chose what he wanted it to look like and say. We each would have a ring and wear it so even when we are not together we can wear and feel safe. He discussed the ring with mom dad and sisters and they decided on having a silver band with a small heart stamped on the band and inside the band it would say forever loved. We had them made and wore them. We were comforted by the connection of the ring and the reminder we are not alone. The ring continues to bring me comfort I treasure the daily reminder of my loving grandson’s presence and the comfort of our loving God.
