MEANING

Bleeding hearts a strange name for a flower and a rememder that all life has meaning.  From the very young who leave us after a short time, like Madeline May, our great-grand daughter to my parents who lived to be over ninety.

All of life is a mystery and for me it is prayer that helps me find the strength and the peace to accept the sadness of losing a loved one.

The beauty of human beings is our capacity to give life to others, not only biological life, but to give love, hope and meaning to the lives of others. 

Jesus said "unless you become like a child you will not enter the kingdom."  Children are our greatest blessing and when we see our humanness and the face of God in all of life then we can share our joys and our sorrows.

The closer one gets to mystery it seems like there then come new questions.

The month of May is a beautiful time here when we see new life blooming and the warmth of the sun returning.  We have two grandsons born in May and we are so thankful for their presence in our lives.
