Whoa, hello… unexpected company for breakfast. Wow.. what a shot, the photographer had to be right there, camera/cellphone in hand. Click, Gotcha! What a moment right. Do you know we have such moments, several times a day, we just don’t always catch them. It hits the conscious mind “ping” .. after that actual moment passed us by.

We get one chance in life to live a moment, once it is passed, it is history. In the blink of an eye, you have moved on. Love with all your heart today, appreciate the blessings you receive daily, because you do. See the positives in life, they are in abundance. Believe, have faith.

My son just called to tell me that a man he thought highly of (Larry Lord) passed in his sleep during the night.. R.I.P. Mr. Lawrence Lord. I didn’t know this man personally, but I certainly know his daughter who has been part of our family for many years now. I know the love and dedication this man inspired in those who loved him. Even in his last years, my son spoke of how he loved to sing, smile and be happy. This man knew about being in a happy “state of mind”.

When we live being true to ourselves, in everything we do, with love, sincerity, and appreciation of what we have,giving joy, sharing a smile, a hug…. our lives will be blessed in so many ways. Death is an ending in this life… it means our bodies are laid to rest… a new door opens..

Good morning everyone!

We are not all soccer fans, some of us don’t enjoy sports at all, however, I would like to say something this morning about the young men shown above. This is the first year that I have really been watching any of the soccer games with a personal interest. Many in our church are from Brazil, so it has been fun to watch the enthusiasm and camaraderie. Especially since although I liked Brazil, I lean towards another team.

What I soon discovered is that this is a very high emotion game, the fans are very invested in the players and the results. For the first time I was listening to the announcers, the talk before games, and the post match wrap ups. When Brazil lost yesterday, I felt the emotion of the players hit like a bolt of lightning, the devastation of their situation could be felt across the miles and through the television. My husband a veteran at all of this, merely shrugged and took it all in stride.

Several players on the field yesterday play for Chelsea (UK) the young man who scored for Brazil was one of these players. His team mates were playing for Germany. These young men are not robots, they train, train and train some more. It is not about the money the make, or how they live their “personal” lives, they are paid professionals who dedicate themselves, mind, and bodies to the game of football (soccer). They played hard and gave all they had to get to where they are today, they played their best yesterday, even when the score was 5-0 for the longest time, they persevered, NO they didn’t win the game, but they have gained my respect for the sincerity (makoto) they put into what they were doing.

In a game, there is a winner and a loser (the person(s) who do not win, BUT in the PL(Perfect Liberty) world we are all winners when we do our best, when what we experience and learn in our challenges, makes us a better person,

Brazil still has a chance for Bronze…. lets give these young men the support they need to get back out there and shine, win or lose.. they keep us watching.
