Words are little things. On paper, they look innocent, insignificant, innocuous; black markings standing out against a blank field. Yet, words wield a power that can rival the natural forces. It has been said that "actions speak louder than words." But words can prompt action. Words have spread hatred and discontent, sent both innocent and guilty to their deaths, incited riots, and caused wars. Words have driven peasants into revolt, and executed kings and queens. Words have caused strife between friends, between family members, estranged spouses, and led them to divorce courts. The harm caused by words can be great. Yet, words also have the power to do great things. Words can bring comfort to those who are troubled, make peace between warring nations, or between warring individuals. God's spoken word brought the universe, and all its' wonders, into existence. The most significant Word of all was born in a stable, and died on the Cross for sinful man. Words have the power to do great evil, or good. We must choose our words wisely, carefully, to have a positive impact on the world. |

life is like the shifting sands

Changes
It's never easy, this thing called change,
It turns you around, and makes everything strange.
Change is difficult; it's hard to let go
Of the things in your life you used to know.
You wish everything would stay the same
Like a movie scene in timeless freeze-frame.
But life doesn't always work the way we'd like;
We never know when the unexpected will strike.
As hard as it is (especially for me),
It's important to accept change graciously.
We can learn lessons from life's little surprises,
Assess strengths and faults, and let knowledge guide us.
Change can be a challenge instead of distress,
If we rise to meet it with courageousness,
Because change can be good, even if we don't see
What lies ahead of us, for in life, there are few guarantees.

ripplescast a stone into the waterwatch as the ripples extend from the center of disturbance even a small pebble cast upon still waters makes its presence felt the splash of water drops comes raining down broadcasting their own messages making their way slowly the ripples radiate out until they touch the shore for every deed committed small or great good or evil every life is affected in some small way September 28, 2002 |

so very blessed
Thursday, June 5, 2008, 12:27 AM [General]
It's been a few weeks since I last logged onto RenSpace. Offline life keeps me quite busy, what with work, family, church, and classes (although our dance class is on hiatus for a few weeks for the summer), and, well, plus a little "oopsie" I had at work involving a 12 foot ladder (never, never let a short person carry such a large ladder...oO;;;; ). ^^;;
I just wanted to say that I've been so very blessed throughout my entire life. The Lord has been so good to me, even though I don't deserve it. He has sent so many wonderful people to cross my life's path, and I'm grateful for each person He sends my way. :)
I'd like to thank those of you here who have befriended me here on RenSpace. You have been so kind, and have made me feel welcome. :)
The fields of the Shire are graced with the loveliest flowers---each and every one of you. :)
