Happy!!!

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

At the age of four and a half, I asked my mother, a first-grade teacher in Brazil, to teach me to read and write.  And so she did. I learned the beautiful Portuguese language. From then on, I have delighted in the enchanted world of books and writing.

'But what about English?', you might ask. Well, it was also my mother who taught me the first English song, back in the early 1960s: "Que sera, sera, what will be, will be"

 I would not be who I am today were it not for my mother.

 The greatest lesson I have learned from her was TO BE HAPPY!

 Thank you, mom, for being who you are, and helping me be who I am!

 You cried with me, but I mostly remember your laugh and your smiles...

 Through your eyes, I saw God's creation in Nature...

You showed me a rainbow forming from a drop of oil in a puddle of water...

 We spotted animals in clouds, bugs in trees, the cute, the ugly, and the free...

 Through your singing and your voice, I found myself singing... greeting each new day with a new song!

 You always took your time to listen and to talk with me...

 You have been a poet, a writer, a teacher, my inspiration.

 You told me and the whole world that I could do it all, that I was intelligent, talented, a joy, a gift from God!

 You have been my best friend, an angel on Earth, always there for me...

 I love you with all my heart, and I thank God for you!



You are the best mom anybody could ever have!

Today, and every day: Happy Birthday, Mom!

The Best Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

Yes, today is Valentine’s Day in the USA. A day marked with expressions of love and affection, especially romantic love. A time of reflection for the single and the married. A reminder of how decisions matter and how our choices can alter our lives forever. As Christians, married or not, we ought to be first and foremost thankful to God for the life He has given us and abide in Him, as the branches are connected to the vine. The moment we were redeemed by Jesus Christ’s blood sacrifice on the cross, we received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Who is one with Jesus (The Son) and The Father. At that very instant, our bodies became the Temple of God, and God in us is the most important reason to celebrate LOVE each day … If you are single, know that the Lord understands loneliness, and He does not want anyone to be alone: someone is out there, especially made for you! Our wonderful Creator knows the desires of your heart and wants you to become one flesh with that specia...

Have you been scouring all the online and newspaper ads for the best deals? Is your virtual shopping cart already stuffed to the brim with the Pre-Black Friday bargains? How much are you planning to spend (or have already spent) on things you “must” get? Is it all about Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) this week? YES, I have also been trapped in this seemingly irresistible shopping spree before, in which all we seem to see and hear is: up to XYZ% OFF, free shipping, limited supplies, ends in less than a day, get yours NOW! That’s when Black Friday had to die: I broke free from its grip by the power of CONTENTMENT! And I made a list… What is your Thanksgiving List? If you haven’t made one, I can show you mine: I am THANKFUL for: Life Family  Work  But, above all, I am thankful for The One who has given me Life, Family, and Work: my Creator! He has made me glad! And now I don’t need all the Black Friday deals or anything that would stand in the way of worshipping my God! Th...
