 Every Tiny Flower

The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily
do not rob the little violet of it’s scent -

nor the daisy of its simple charm.
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, 

spring would lose its loveliness

With Love Mina ❤ Christ 

Always There

Help me Father ❤  to speak when words are needed and to dwell in your silence,
when they are not.

Help me to live within the sacred dwelling of your heart and always look upon it as my home.

To cherish a simple heart-
which does not look upon great deeds
nor profound thoughts -

but laughs at the most simple joy
and smiles even when it hurts.

Because also in the hurting, you are there -
You who loves me, are always there.

In everything let me be simple at heart,
so that they may see You,
and know that You who loves ❤ them -
are always there.

With Love Mina

The beginning of everything 

I fell in love with her courage,

her sincerity and her flaming

self respect.

And it's these things I'd believe in,

even if the whole world indulged in wild

suspicions that she wasn't all

she should be.

I love her and that 

is the beginning of everything

With Love Mina & My Hero

Brighter Than The Stars

When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms,

the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter

than the stars of heaven

and the influence of her power -

it is vain to resist.

I Dreamt Of You

Like the stars need the sky
and the river needs it's rain.
Like an eagle needs it's wings -
and the fire needs it's flames.

Like the sun needs the day
and the night needs the moon.
Like the air that I breathe -
That's how I,  

I dreamt of you....

With Love Mina & My Hero

Based Upon Virtue

Nothing has the power to part me from you, our love is based upon virtue,

and it will last forever...

My Sacred Shelter

For the many days that you doubt in yourself, 

for the many moments in which you hold back -

and lock your confidence away.

I wish, I could show you what I see 

every time I look at you.

Wondrous beauty in every single way. 

A mysterious reflection of Him. 

My sacred shelter from the many,

many storms.

I really wish you could see what I see,

every time I look at you.

 I Love You Jimmy.

With Love Jasmina & My Hero.

 Friday Roses

I hope you have a beautiful and restful weekend, friends ! Today I am sharing with You,
our pretty roses and of course a poem !
How I love roses.
My favorite colour is pink, white and amber.
What is yours, pretty heart...? 

Goodnight My Dear

Goodnight my dear,
I’m glad I have you near,
For the many things you’ve brought me,
There’s nothing I shall fear.

Goodnight my dear,
Let my songs wipe your tears,
We’ve certainly got each other,
And we always shall through the years.

Goodnight my dear,
Let my prayer bring you cheer,
The moon is bright and the stars are shining,
And they bless us always here.

Among The Roses

As a flower in the garden
bending toward the sun.
Unfolds it's tiny petals
one, by one, by one...

So faith expands it's beauty,
until at last it grows,
into life's lasting flower -
the heart's fair perfect rose.
~Rebecca Helmann~ 

*          *          *           * 

A few days ago just before my sleep,
I asked My Father in heaven so humbly, to visit me soon again. Because it would make my heart happy.
But before I had the opportunity to say my humble prayer, he showed himself once again.


And this time He was sitting among the red and yellow roses, -
Oh how I love those sweet, beautiful roses. Perhaps He knows that....
In a beautiful garden, with a little girl by his side.
And a beautiful light shone on them.
And he loved the little girl, beside him,
even if she could not understand it....

With Love Jasmina & Jimmy

To My Beloved Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
compare with me, you women, if you can.
 

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold.
Or all the riches that the East doth hold. 
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
nor ought but love from thee give recompetence.
 

Thy love is such I can no way repay...
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. 
Then while we live, in love let us so persever
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Our Story

Today I would like to share with you,
some photos of this weekend's fun &
an answer to a question, that I received from you.

How and where did I meet my beloved...?

    Jimmy & Noah his sister's, daughter's baby
                      at their home
      (It always sounds so complicated* smiles)

At the age of 18 during my last year in high school,

I studied economy and marketing, but I also studied Italian.

And there it all began, during the many words, spoken so beautifully in Italian, I met him.

I still remember thinking from that very first 

moment that I saw him, walking in:

'That one could perhaps be, just the one for me, 

without even slightly imagining that, 

that is exactly what he will be,

for all the days of our life.'

Sometimes when one looks closer at the many colors 

and shades of life, one will see that there, 

in between the many chapters,

and layers of our struggle

lies so many blessings to be unfold,

to be gently unwrapped,

as precious gifts of a beautiful Father.

  

   My pretty sister Edita, my angel, I
       love you so...! 

And so it began, the story of our life, in a small classroom,
many years ago, when he gathered the courage
and asked me out.

The girl he thought was Italian
like many before him,
with the green, blue and grey eyes,
all mixed together.
What a combination?

         Edita and a little friend Sara <3

But he said it was the eyes that caught his attention,

that they were different and beautiful.

But it was also the way I carried myself,

with grace and silence,

I guess he liked that.

I have come to know that many people do

like that about me,

but it is just the way I am.

A silent person with so much dreams of beauty 

and love within my heart.

And sometimes that is just enough, 

to catch somebodys attention* smiles

a pretty heart that loves so much,

that loves forever

that loves endlessly...

The Rose

 “But he who dares not grasp the thorn

  should never crave the rose.

 “It is the time you have wasted for your rose  

that makes your rose so important.”

Beautiful Life

There lived once a young girl whose perfect grace
of character was the wonder of those who knew her.
She wore on her neck a gold locket which no one was ever
allowed to open.

One day, in a moment of unusual confidence,

one of her companions
was allowed to touch its spring and learn its secret.
She saw written these words :
'Whom having not seen, I love.'
That was the secret of her beautiful life.

The Need of The Hour

What doth our country need?
Not armies standing with sabers gleaming
ready for the fight.
Not increased navies, skillful and commanding;
to bound the waters with an iron might;

Not haughty men with glutted purses tryingt to purchase souls, and keep the power of the place.
Not jeweled dolls with one another vying
For palms of beauty, elegance, and grace.

But we want women, strong of soul, yet lowly
with that rare meekness, born of gentleness.
Women whose lives are pure and clean and holy,
the women whom all little children bless.

Brave, earnest women, helpful to each other,
with finest scorn for all things low and mean.
Women who hold the names of wife and mother
Far nobler than the title of a queen.
 

Oh! These are they who mould the men of story,
These mothers, oftime shorn of grace and youth,
who, worn and weary, ask no greater glory
Than making some young soul the home of truth.

Who sow in hearts all fallow for the sowing
the seeds of virtue and of scorn for sin,
And, patient, watch the beauteous harvest growing
and weed out tares which crafty hands cast in.

Women who do not hold the gift of beauty
As some rare treasure to be bought and sold,
But guard it as a precious aid to duty —
The outer framing of the inner gold.

Women who, low above their cradles bending,
let flattery’s voice go by, and give no heed,
While their pure prayers like incense are ascendingt
these are our country’s pride, our country’s need.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~
     (1850-1919)

  She Walks in Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night

   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

   Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellowed to that tender light

   Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

   Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

   Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

   How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

   So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

   But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

                                    

A heart whose love is innocent.....

~Lord Byron~ 

(One of my favourite lovely poets)

The Quietude of Your Home                                                    

Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. 

Men come at eventide to the home; 

but all day long you are there, beautifying it, 

sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it.

Better be there than wear a queen's coronet.

Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. 

It may be a very humble home. 

There may be no carpet on the floor.

There may be no pictures on the wall. 

 

 

 

There may be no silks in the wardrobe; 

but, by your faith in God, 

and your cheerful demeanor, 

you may garniture that place with more splendor

than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled.

Make Me Believe

A few evenings ago while the night was still young
and stars so beautiful existed in far away places, I fell asleep to wake up to the sound of my own voice.

I was screaming. I was afraid.
Another bad dream, somehow I have got used to these dreams, I thought to myself.

But this one was 'special' somebody was trying,
to steal something away from me.
They tried to take with force what did not belong to them. And I was afraid....




Then, out of the sudden I could hear footsteps, 
I could hear His gentle footsteps outside my door
and I knew I was safe again.

 - Don't be afraid, I am here, I am here.
I came as soon as I heard your voice, he whispered,
while holding me so close.

Thou my heart was still upset, I was happy to be comforted by the strength
and the warmth, of his loving arms. And I told him;

-You really do make me believe...

-Believe in what? he said, without knowing what I was trying to say
that night, while the candles were still softly burning.

-You make me belive that God cares for me and that he, just like you,
is a Great and Loving Hero and that I am safe......

Tender and Soft

Woman is made great in gentleness
Woman is tender and soft in her acts
Woman speaks with deep sincerities
Woman expresses herself in kind ways

Woman assures everything is alright when it is not * smiles.
Woman stands for her poise though there is doubt
Woman loves passionately like there is no end to it
Woman comforts even when a situation turns worst

Woman always stood for her precious
Woman always choose to be generous
Woman never point fingers at her betrayer
Woman never says no to a pleading stranger

She is a woman who remains anonymous
She is a woman who is indeed magnanimous!

  I Dreamt

I dreamt of you i felt your heart
I dreamt of love dreamt us apart
I dreamt of you in silken white
I dreamt your an angel in lovely flight
 
I dreamt of hair in golden locks
I dreamt of doves in soaring flocks
I dreamt we married with promised eyes
I dreamt we lived romantic lives
 
I dreamt I dreamt to never wake
I dreamt my hand you would take
I dreamt you smiled and called my name
I dreamt my life was never the same.
Yes i dreamt i dreamt of you

oh Yes my love! oh yes i do!
