A GAELIC BLESSING

Lindsays Grandma — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 01:36:46 GMT

Deep peace of the running

water to you

Deep peace of the flowing

air to you

Deep peace of the smiling

stars to you

Deep peace of the quiet

earth to you

Deep peace of the watching

shepherd to you

@Lindsays Grandma Try listening to Bill Douglas' album Deep Peace on YouTube.

@Lindsays Grandma These quotes are very CALMING. They made me feel good inside as I pondered them. #4 and #5 really resonated with me. This is a quaint set of LOVELY quotes, and I enjoyed each of them!

I went over yesterday's quotes with my friend, and we really delved into #9-"-Make sure you don't see yourself through the eyes of those who don't value you. Know your worth even if they don't".

That one spoke to me as well, because years ago I was like her. That might be why I am trying so hard to help steer her in the right direction. When all of this is over, I am going to take her to a self-empowerment Meetup group. She's slowly opening herself up to prayer, and that's always a good thing😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@Kachina624 Thank you so much for the recommendation, it was absolutely beautiful. A friend of mine sent it to me a long time ago, unfortunately I didn't know there more lines to the verse.

@Kachina624 I went over to YouTube to listen. That song is BEAUTIFUL, and the scenery is breathtaking! It was followed by Heaven's Window by Peter Kater; equally nice. This new age music Is PERFECT for meditation!

@SandySparkles You are a very caring friend, how lucky your friend has you to help steer in the right direction for her well being. Since my dear friends passed away I feel so alone. Granted, my daughter and I live together but, and I'll leave it at that.

Throughout my lifetime I experienced a number of adversities and I thank God I had the strength to overcome and fight back, coming out a winner. One was an abusive husband, and everytime I read about a woman being beaten almost to death who stays with the monster, it makes me sad and angry. Okay, I'm getting carried away here. When I read posts from other members saying how some of the things I write helps them, as you do, it gives me the incentive to keep writing. So keep watching!!!

@Lindsays Grandma @SandySparkles I have several albums of Bill Douglas' music and love them all but Deep Peace is my favorite. I like the song Voices of Children.

A very restorative piece of prose-poetry!

And on a lighter note:

May those who love us, love us

And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts,

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May he turn their ankles

So we'll know them by their limping.

@Lindsays Grandma Your post touched my heart, I have seen you speak tenderly of the loss of your dear friends on another thread some time ago. Those type of friendships are not easy to find, nurture, and maintain. It is such a blessing that you have done so, and are able to reminisce with such fondness. You have such a kind spirit, that it can, and will happen for you again.❤

Your candid story of triumph over adversity echos mine in more ways than you can imagine. I sometimes feel like Rocky when he made it to the top of the steps, raising his hands in victory. Once I truly came to understand my value, and refused to be a victim any longer, everything else fell into place. For that reason, I won't give up on her, because someone truly amazing intervened in my life, offered me unconditional love, and did not give up on me.😊🙏

@SandySparkles I love to read everything you post. You have a wonderful way with words and I believe if we ever sat down together we would talk into the night and beyond.
