Early Easter Wishes!

On March 30, 2013March 27, 2016 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Faith, Holidays28 Comments

I’ve always loved this beautiful Irish Blessing below
and this photo brings back many fun Easter memories.

“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand”

Wishing you all a very Happy and Blessed Easter!

FINDING INNER STRENGTH (re-post)

On March 7, 2013March 7, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Inspirational27 Comments

It’s finally time to SHOUT
“Enough is Enough”
To dust off shields of armor
and flip the switch to “tough”

With every step in each new day
it’s too easy to fret and worry
Wasting a God given moment
instead of cheering in His glory

Toss those words and thoughts
that surely weigh us down
A lighter load will bring us smiles
and erase those dreadful frowns

So, arm in arm, let’s move forward
for strength in perseverance
Do not relent to downward slips
Ignore the interference!

I hope this brings you strength
in whatever you’re going through in life.

A Choice

On February 12, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Inspirational, Life34 Comments

It’s in front of you, if you look real close,
and as clear as the vase that holds the rose
You don’t want to miss this profound craze
grab your readers, don’t be in a daze
It’s like a flower, so friendly and cheerful
Go ahead, seek it out and don’t be fearful
Remember the doe and her baby you saw?
After taking this step, you’ll be in awe
When you fall in love for the very first time
nothing can compare to your feeling of sublime
That’s how you’ll feel when you take this chance
You’ll want to get up and dance
Even still, you question my words
Believe me when I say you’ll be singing with the birds
Your life will be changed and you’ll feel truly blessed
When you look real close, you’ll find Happiness

(Yes, it’s really hard sometimes,
but it’s worth trying to focus, isn’t it?)

🙂

Another Time

On January 25, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life45 Comments

In another life
there’d be no
shattered hearts
no lashing tongues
no broken parts
second chances would be
pearls in our palms
there’d be no storm
only divine calm
no hurting souls
feeling empty inside
In another time
love would weave
through lives
creating peace
and a will to survive

New Beginnings

On January 14, 2013August 5, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Faith, Family, Inspirational, Life45 Comments

Turn the pages from the past
Put your worries in last place
In those fretting times
where hope has vanished
search for a caring embrace

Use a shoulder if it’s offered
when tears begin to fall
They’re not a sign of weakness
but a cleansing of the soul

Take advantage of the sunshine
warming your spirit with it’s rays
and even when the clouds are rolling
there’s always reason for praise

Faith, Love and Strength
follow Hope in each new day
and with each precious baby step
You will find your way

This is dedicated to my family
and anyone who needs a “small helping”
of inspiration. ♥

The Cards We’re Dealt

On January 11, 2013October 29, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Health, Life, Melancholy53 Comments

We sail through life smoothly
until a wave knocks us down
with no means for escaping
no turning around or backing away
We’re still caught in the aftermath
of that dismal day

The best move is to dive in head first
We may get hurt
where our emotions could run so wild
that our souls would be fully drained
from the collision of shock,
new found pain

Where tears could fall so long and hard
that face muscles would begin to dance
and our happiness would be scarred

Our only choice then,
is to move forward
We must learn to deal
the hand we’re dealt
and consent to acceptance

With weeping more infrequent
and the embracing of strength
Our eyes will open to the light and follow
allowing Hope and Faith
to enter our hearts once again

Dedicated to my family
with all my heart. ♥

Sending Warm Holiday Wishes ♥

On December 25, 2012December 25, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems, Birthdays, Holidays51 Comments

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

It’s been three months since I’ve blogged
and I’ve missed you all!
This acrostic poem is from last year,
but the meaning is just as sincere.
Some of you know why I’ve been absent and for now,
things are stable, but I’m still unsure about returning
to blogland. However, I couldn’t let this year end
without sending my sincere holiday wishes.
So, I wish for you Love, Peace, Hope and Miracles
this Christmas season and not only in the New Year to come,
but for forever~
