Know This to Be True
One day you were born, one day you will die.
In the middle of this life,
What happens to you--
First depends on the care and love of others.
But there comes a day when you know
Your life and how it is lived— is all up to you.
So, sing out—ring out joy—whenever, wherever you can.
Whoop and holler—bang on the pan!
Grab the moment and live it!
Find the gift, be the gift and give it.
Whenever—wherever you can.
Times they change, time flies quickly by
Never standing still for you and I
You may wander far, you may stay close by-
But home—it is the heart of Love
That brings you back to the bed you lie.
So, sing out—ring out joy—whenever, wherever you can.
Whoop and holler—bang on the pan!
Grab the moment and live it!
Find the gift, be the gift and give it.
Whenever, wherever you can.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
