For the Love of Life and Laughter with a Few Tears Sprinkled in Between: Mother’s Memos- Children Chatter-Natures Nuggets Nutty Nonsense

By Marijayne

MY SPACE -- GOD’S GRACE

Gods grace truly is amazing. The space He gave me to occupy in this life is exactly where I am suppose to be, Why?

Because this is where He put me. Just like a flower, I keep trying to bloom where I am planted, and because of His amazing grace, He has given me the gift and talent to help me grow into a published writer of poetry.

My first book was named POETIC JOY, I named it that because of the joy it gave me to share it with you.

I am now happy to be able to make my second book available. I named it “FOR THE LOVE OF LIFFE AND LAUGHTER” because that is exactly what we need to give meaning to why we exist. There’s an old saying, “Life is what you make it”

(author unknown) That is so true, Blest is the one who fills his life with love and laughter and blest is the one that receives it.

You will find that this book of poetry is about many experiences you may also have had and will agree with me that love of life

and laughter is what this old world needs along with a few tears of joy sprinkled in between.

1st John 1:4(NASB) And these things I write unto you, so that your joy may be made complete.

I chose this as the main title with the thought that if we loved life enough to be able to laugh at ourselves, there would be fewer tears available to ruin our love of life.

1st CORINTHIANS 16:4 NASB

Let all that you do be done in love.

Life at its Best

For the love of life and laughter.

The life we need to go after.

Pleasures we gain every day-

laughter is smoothing the way.

Tears may be sprinkled in between-

our laughter and love of life.

There’s so much more yet to be seen-

beyond the present day strife.

Ignore the tears you want to shed.

for nasty things somebody said.
