Come with me this morning to the church within our hearts where the bells are always ringing and the preacher, whose name is Love shall intercede for us. ~ Emily Dickinson

@Hopeleslie1234 I vote for flowers, wisdom, and beauty. 🪻🪻🪻

I used to post lots of cultural, and political things. I used to share my opinion more. But, now, I mostly just post flowers. Is this wisdom? Or laziness? Apathy? Resignation?

@Spill_Words Thank you!

A quiet, rain-soaked meditation where music, memory, and nature blur into a dreamlike escape. @elramey #poetry #music #nature spillwords.com/music-in-the-n…

@KarlKohlhase Amen! 🙏

Too many distractions. I suggest we get our focus back on Jesus.

@Hopeleslie1234 Charming!

I finally got to wear my new sweater. God and country.

@CrazyVibes_1 The dog knows best.

Golden retriever refused to let this kid go to school.... And he meant it

@Hopeleslie1234 Lovely. I know where you get your love for flowers.

This is sweet. The son of the couple who were my parents good friends, and stood up for them at their wedding, just brought one of my mother's paintings to me. His mother recently passed, (96!), and he found it hanging in her home.

Imagine if the world stopped trying to master the physics of light and simply stood there, breathless… Eckhart suggests that wonder is a higher form of prayer than petition. It isn't about asking for things...Read more here: debrasblogpureandsimple.blogspot.com… 🎨Stéphanie Menard

@jakesilverlab My deepest condolences. Abby is a sweet, loving soul that will remain in your heart forever. Rip is peace, precious girl. 🙏

💔 I wanted to share these last photos of beautiful Abbey the day she crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge on her 14th birthday. I hope they make you smile; it has been a traumatic 24 hours for us and sharing her is helpful.

@jakesilverlab Bless you for taking care of and loving this precious one. I know how deeply she will be missed. 💔

💔She’s gone. We took this photo together just 2 hours ago. The hardest decision ever. We did not want that cancer to win, so instead of having her hang on for weeks & have it take her when it burst open, we gave her the best day ever & said goodbye while she could still somewhat enjoy it. I’m absolutely devastated and this is another huge loss. She joins her best friend forever Jake, at the rainbow bridge. We were told to choose a date (before the tumor ruptured) which at the latest would be weeks. We decided last night to say goodbye today, on her 14th birthday. What an honor to spend it with her. We spent the morning making a paw print for her memory, we went for a last walk (she tired after only a minute), we hung out with Jackson, had some birthday ice cream, she had a big chew bone & treats, and I cooked her fresh chicken and vegetables. I fed it to her out of my hand, so that I could be close to her on her final breakfast. When we got to the vet, we brought a McDonalds breakfast sandwich; which she had always wanted, and I also fed that to her. Our final words were how happy she made us, how blessed we were, how much we loved her & that she would meet her Jake at the bridge. We told her how good of a girl she was and that we would see her in heaven. Absolutely lost without her. Life will not be the same. She was like a daughter to me. I lost my only daughter to cancer (she was 30) and Abbey was like a daughter in a way. I work from home & we were together 24/7. There will never be another princess.

@KarlKohlhase Beautifully done, Karl! 👏

@byMorganWright 💔

Thank you for everyone’s condolences❤️. I wasn’t able to write yesterday nor explain what happened so I’ll answer some questions here: She was only 6 years old. She was diagnosed with a chronic illness a year ago (which we were able to manage really well) but she abruptly got violently ill yesterday morning & it turned out to be unrelated. The vet diagnosed her with advanced ruptured pyometra & she had sepsis so we had to put her down so she wouldn’t suffer🫩😔. I’m numb, furious at the world & heartbroken all at the same time so… it’s hell. Anyone who’s ever experienced loss knows what it feels like. Life is cruel beyond measure & you just never get enough time.

@byMorganWright My heart goes out to you. How precious, your buddy. 🙏

Hi everyone. My dog passed away this morning & I’m not in the right headspace to be online & talk to people at the moment so… I’ll talk to you all when I’m able to. Life is just so cruel. Here’s my girl:

@AliceTeller Lord have mercy.

Canadians are so nice they will not stress parents about deciding to kill their children and socialized medicine will pay for the injection. Be careful what you wish for.

@Hopeleslie1234 We had the wonder "educated" out of us - until we reclaimed it.

Ya think?

@Hopeleslie1234 Precious visitors! 😇

I had visitors today. 🍒

@KarlKohlhase Lord have mercy.

Why is every administration, Democrat and Republican, so insistent about covering up this Epstein garbage? The worst imaginable crimes, by the sounds of it, and zero accountability. Sickening.

Beautiful, Karl. 👏
