As I went in the bathroom first thing Sunday morning at Brooke’s, to wash up…I recognized ( for the first time) the Faith Angel I gave Brooke many years ago… an artistic creation by Kelly Rae Roberts.
I began reading each entry listed and it struck home immediately… I must have scrubbed my face and eyes enough to really ” see” the angel’s message! No doubt it was a God Wink! The first one kept me reading…
Believe in Healing
Trust the possibilities
Embrace Your Truth
Release Your Fear
Celebrate the Love that exists in your Life
Ask for what you need
Listen to Forgiveness
Be Yourself… Always!
Nurture Your Hope
Hold Onto HOPE!!!!!!!
When I got home… I wrote the ten faith advices down, wrote one message on each of the ten strips I cut, shuffled, and put in a box.
For the next ten days I am going to randomly choose one faith directive and let it be my faith guide for that day! Will keep you updated as it unfolds daily…
So until tomorrow…
My Ten Days of Faith will certainly be a ” first” for me…my hope is this series of spiritual reminders will bring me strength physically, mentally, and spiritually each day!
Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh
Brooke’s beautiful coral ( no iron) shirt just matches her hibiscus bloom!
My Welcome Home Hibiscus BloomingAnne’s first moonflower bloom -bloomed just in time for her to see it before she leaves today for Maine and her sister Kathy’s birthday! Safe Travels! My ” Traveling” zinnias came home with me to keep me happy with memories of a special weekend!!!
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
