Sigh: ...sometimes that's all I can do when the spirit arrives.  Mahalo Nui ((((hugs))))

: )

Oh - I deleted some posts because I wasn't living them. I didn't feel I should try and portray or try and be an example of something I didn't have at the time myself. But it was nothing more than me feeling emotional and trying to dig around where I don't need to be digging (in my past that is). It too, did pass, or is passing I should say.

As far as this particular post - I'm referring to my daughter. She's just so darn cute ya know? I am just so darn sorry... or happy to see her... or whatever it may be.

So I hug the dickens out of her... give her millions of wet kisses on her cheek. I overdo it basically. I think only of my feelings. I have never just given her a gentle kind hug, and one sweet kiss to make sure she was comfortable and actually enjoying the love. It's always been over kill, always about how I'm feeling, always about me!

I'm trying to love people respectfully, for Him, through me, and as it turns out, it's hard to not squeeze tight and never want to let go. It's hard to explain, and maybe not so obvious or a big deal to others, but it's a major shift for me, so I wanted to note it. I do look back over the posts at the changes... sometimes they are more for me than for you, and sometimes some people get them anyway, and that's delightful too : ) Thanks everyone and Mark... I appreciate the support.

 

 

I got it the first time and came back for seconds....Sigh:  so gentle...so soft...so sweet.   Practice practice practice. (((hugs)))

 

 

PAPPY...SOMETIMES YOUR ABILITY TO NAIL THE THINGS OF SPIRIT ARE JUST SO RIGHT ON...I don't see how in the world you could better describe unconditional love ... the love of a child ... the exact same type of love our heavenly Father shows us, His children ...

LOOKED AT IT THRU THE FILTER OF TASHA...FOR ME,...IT'S OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER.  GOD AS WE UNDERSTAND GOD AND YES LIKE YOU AND THE REST OF THE FELLOWSHIP AND OTHERS WE ARE HIS CHILDREN ALL.  

Okay im in too.Im usually clueless,I once was blind but now I see .....thanks Tasha.....my granddaughter(15 months)just looked into the SKYPE  camera and said"bye Nana and Papa!I can truly identify with the joy and grace and mercy to be able to share the love in her eyes,truly blessed to be around for it.....peace. 

I'm glad I read this one and glad I read right to the end.................it's the lightest touch, the little look, the brief, gentle hug, the lightest kiss, given and received, between partners and between parents and children, between my Mum and me, between friends, between lovers, yep, that's what makes the world go round.

Giving and Receiving.....something else to learn. The more one gives the more one receives and in turn the more one has to give. Before it was all give and take - I'll give you this but you have to give me that (or I'll take that). Now I'll give it all, without expectation of reward, without need to take and what happens? I give and give and sometimes others take and take, returning nothing. (My son and daughter, I gave and gave but they just kept on taking - that hurt because I was expecting something in return and was bitter that I got nothing or worse than nothing) Now I'll give what I want to give to them, not so much, but enough. My debt of guilt is paid. It matters not that I get no return, giving for the sake of giving is enough.

So sometimes the smallest gift, the gift of a light touch, a gentle hug, a soft kiss, is the most powerful gift there is. It says I don't need to possess you, I don't need to own you, I don't need to control you................it also says I trust you, I respect you, I value you, I believe you and I love you.
