The Lover's World (oil on canvas) by Eleanor Fortescue

I don't know but I believe.

That some things are meant to be.

And that you'll make a better me.

Everyday I Love You

I never thought that dreams came true.

But you showed me that they do.

You know that I learn something new.

Everyday I Love You

'Cause I believe that destiny.

Is out of our control.

Don't you know that I do.

And you'll never live until you love.

With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad.

It's a smile when I get mad.

All the little things I am.

Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you more

Everyday I love you

'Cause I believe that destiny.

Is out of our control.

Don't you know that I do.

And you'll never live until you love.

With all your heart and soul.

If I asked, "Would you say yes?

"Together we're the very best.

I know that I am truly blessed.

Everyday I love you.

And I'll give you my best.

Everyday I love you

Merry Christmas!

Hola, bloggers! The Christmas season is always a busy and exciting time! The streets are filled with shoppers; wreaths decorate the doors; festivity fills home, office and community. Joyful greetings are the pattern of the day. The reason for all this celebration is the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ. But does His presence grace the party? It is sad to note that we sometimes assume that Christ is in His rightful place, when actually He has been forgotten in the rush. The true sifnificance of His birth is lost in the trappings, gift-giving and party-going associated with the celebration of this holiday.

Luke tells us that "the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). The babe of Bethlehem was born to die. He came to give His life a ransom for sin by hanging on a "tree" - not the tinsel-covered thing of beauty, but an ugly, cruel instrument of execution.

As we remember our Savior's birth, let's be deeply conscious that it is vitally linked to Golgotha's hill. There He was crucified, and there He shed His blood for the sins of the world.

Calvary's cross is the forgotten tree of Christmas, yet it's the most important one!

Have a blessed Merry Christmas Everybody!

Psyche entering Cupid's Garden by John William Waterhouse

I just swear that I'll always be there

I give anything and everything

And I will always care

Through weakness and strength

Happiness and sorrow

For better, for worse

I will love you

With every beat of my heart

From this moment

I have been blessed

I live only, for your happiness

And for your love, I give my last breath

From this moment on....

You're the reason I believe in love!

And you're the answer

To my prayers from up above

All we need is just the two of us

My dreams came true

Because of you!

~~From This Moment, Recorded and Sung by Shania Twain~~

HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS, BLOGGERS!!!

SINCERELY,

OPHELIA

THE REASON

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things

I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is You

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you.

~~The Reason, recorded and sung by Hoobastank

In everything, don't give up, just go on. In every death, there is resurrection; in every fall, there is the chance to rise up and stand tall; in every weakness there is a sustaining power; for every heartbreak, a chance to heal; in every mistake there is an opportunity for change. Everything happens for a reason if you can but believe that through everything, underneath are the Everlasting Arms and God will make everything beautiful in His time to those who love Him and believe in Him.

Have a great weekend Bloggers!

Sincerely,

Ophelia

THE SEARCH

When you left your footprints

On the sands of time

Every step

I retraced

To seek you, my beloved -

Alone.

As I carried the burden

Of my dreams and yours;

Every wave of the sea

I watched

Rise and fall

With insatiate glance

Till the saline waters

Infected my eyes -

Alone.

As I hoped

For the resurrection in your heart

Every evening I heard arriving

With slow steps -

Alone

As I listened

To my chattering and yours.

Today when I realize

Your search has become my life

I weep for you my beloved

And leave behind my dreams and yours

On the endless ocean of time

Roaring before me;

So that,

Each night and each day may

Reach out to the unattainable

Stars in the sky,

And I may retrace your footsteps,

Lightly,

To seek you, my beloved,

Without the burden of carrying

My dreams and yours.

For though none lives forever

And nothing lasts for long,

My dreams and yours

Shall have the fame of...

Immortality.

Ophelia by the Pond by John William Waterhouse

"You're still the one I run to,

The one that I belong to,

You're still the one I want for life,

You're still the one that I love,

The only one I dreamed of,

You're still the one I kiss goodnight."
