Living deep in the mountains
I've grown fond
of the soughing pines -
on days when the wind is still
how lonely it becomes!

~  Otagaki Rengetsu
The following is a confession of a busy single mom who has realized that there is no excuse for letting this world take her away from her child.
Rushing, rushing, springing through her day
She works a 8-5 then picks up her child,
After dinner, homework, housework and preparation for the next day are done she had no energy remaining in those tired bones.
Bath and bed and a story to tell
And when she finally sets down before bed for herself she realizes life is passing her by.
Time is flying and the moments are turning into years
Age is showing on her face, her hair is becoming silver
For a split moment she stops, she ponders the days events and how they fold into the grand scheme of things
And in that brief second she has a parental epiphany
Time is so precious
Time and love are what life is about
And even though all her time is focused to providing and loving her child, her small moments of time are what her daughter hungers for the most.
Not stressed mommy, not busy mommy
Happy and silly mommy
Playing games, painting toenails, making silly faces and stories
Those will last a lifetime and longer
That is my legacy, that is my immortality
The rest is just something we do to pass the time and get by
So a promise was made deep in her heart
A promise to stop and breath
Stop and savor the moments however small they may be
Because the biggest and best part of being me is being her mommy!
LOVING LORD JESUS
I HAVE BECOME WEARY IN MY SPIRIT.
I COME TO YOUR HOLY PRESENCE AND WAIT AT YOUR FEET FOR YOUR DIVINE INTERVENTION IN MY LIFE.
MY  EYES ARE ONLY UPON YOU.
I PUT MY HOPE IN YOU.
I LEAVE ALL MY WORRIES TO YOU.
ACCORDING TO YOUR LOVE REMEMBER  ME.
FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT IN AN  ABUNDANT MEASURE.
GIVE ME THE GRACE TO RECEIVE YOUR MIGHTY POWER THROUGH THE SPIRIT.
RENEW MY STRENGTH AND USE ME IN A MIGHTY WAY FOR YOUR GLORY.
IN  YOUR MATCHLESS NAME I PRAY . AMEN.
MY OWN JESUS PRAYER
