REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone,

Please remember me

As a heartfelt laugh,

As a tenderness.

Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me

When I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most

Not what I did,

Or who I was --

Oh please remember me

For what I always

Desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

The Promise Of Redemption

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kindgoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Psalm 46

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

~ Ronald Reagan

If love were a flower ...

DateTuesday, June 15, 2010 at 12:44AM

... for me it would not be the rich and velvety rose, much as I am captivated by it.

It would be the creamy, sultry gardenia, with a fragrance like romance at its most breathtaking.

I carried a huge bouquet of gardenias on my wedding day ... June 16, 1979. The florist picked them wild, fresh and dewy, from a Georgia fencerow that very morning.

This year TG bought me a gardenia bush ... a tiny one. He planted it outside the back door.

Here is some of its first yield. They're miniature (the vase is four inches tall), but their perfume fills the room ... and my heart.

What bells are to cities

you are to me

waker, warner, marker

of time's passing, lyricless

song of religion, God's voice

annuller, annealer, angel

of non-sequitur, mournful

chimer of hours, startler

of less hardy pigeons

sepulchral summoner

needer of steady metal

clamor-presider of avenues

periodic pusher of silence

caller, crooner, comforter

time-bending tribute-taker

soundtrack of soft dreams

gold-shot curtain of dolor

stalactite, stalagmite

everywhere and nowhere

asking, answering

creasing heaven, cross-heavy

bringer of rings.

I love the scent of gardenia, but they don't grow here.
That was a lovely gift!

June 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMari

Good post and SO sweet! I love strong floral smells! Mine were lillies!! Very simple yet lovely :)

June 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCrystal

Ah, yes, gardenias are simply the best. Best fragrance, best flower - the perfect southern lady bouquet.

June 15, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterrosezilla

I love gardenias, the smell is wonderful from the flowers. No perfume or cologne has ever captured that scent.

We had them out in Hawaii everywhere when we lived there with the Navy in the 80's. I loved living there.

June 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDebbie

@ Mari ... I thought so too, since he knows how much I love them. I wish you could grow gardenias in Michigan!

@ Crystal ... lilies are so beautiful!

@ Tracie ... agreed. Such a beautiful Southern look and aroma ... delicate yet strong.

@ Donna ... you can smell them from THERE? LOLOLOL that's cool ...

@ Debbie ... you're so right ... no perfume or cologne named "gardenia" lives up to its name. I'd love to see all the flowers in Hawaii!
