She cleaned stairs for the rich, with hands that worked so very hard in cold Scottish winters. To give us everlasting love. To bring Christmas to little children who didn't know her struggles. She's now in heaven and never a day goes by that I don't forget her sacrifice.

Dwell in the presence of God. Walk in his steps he will show us the way to him. Accept the spirit within your soul. Grow and be renewed by the love. Use your gifts for good, learn how to use them. Have compassion discover your true strengths, act with humanity to those who suffer and pray for them, give with your hands, sincerely with an open heart.

Over the hills let me wander, with you my lassie. among the fragrant meadows. You charm the birds from the trees, of all the flowers I have known you are the most beautiful and fair. The butterflies of my heart be still, as I pledge my love to you. As we lay near the glittering stream, I'm in awe of your beauty.

Take time to listen to the songs of birds, the trickle of a stream. Watch the sunrise and feel its warmth. In peace comes understanding find the song in your heart. Sing it and find yourself, be kind to all. love is all we need.

Morning I awake before sunrise, coming over the mountains. Breathing in the earth and sky. The stars are twinkling with a crescent moon. Thanking God for another day I pray.

Petals encrusted by white frost the beauty of the rose. Sleet falls softly before the coming of the heavy snow. Ice covers a spiders web that trails between the thorns.

To stand where Scottish Jacobites fought and died. To feel the centuries of history, on medieval castle walls. To explore the ancient Abbeys of the past in the tranquility of the lush countryside. To see bluebells
bloom in aspects of spring, dragonflies in the heat of summer, watching barnacle geese fly in winter overland and sea, Scotlands gifts for all to see.

When we are lost and in the shadows, holy spirit guide us through the storm, lead us with prayers and God's grace. Give us, hope, faith, in your light. Comfort and love us, lead us to eternal life.

Surrounding hills of green and heather I bathe in sunshine. Watching the gulls swooping across cloudless skies. I hear the songs of a blackbird, and a linnet echo in the Ayrshire afternoon. My soul is refreshed, calmness and tranquility in the springtime.

We stand at twilight on the beach the sea spray splashing on the rocks. Gulls fly on high our souls flee to meet them through the waves to the heavens above. We are one together in you my dreams live for eternity.

Tears like falling rain, heart beating like a drum, the lovelight has dimmed in your eyes, we walked through green fields hand in hand. I only know I will keep on waiting for you to return.

After the nuclear war nothing will remain of our existence. Mankind hasn't learned the meaning of life of love. Almighty God's son came to earth and died for our sins. In 2023 we are still in the darkness, the light hasn't reached our hearts, after countless wars over centuries their is no longer time for us, we are on the precipice of our own destruction.

At one with nature is the most wonderful experience we can have its fragile and we need to protect it. Stand amongst the forest and the sounds of birds and the wind flowing through the trees. Smell the flowers the scent of the earth let it encompass you in all its richness. Peaceful stillness in our hearts and refeshing our spirit.

High up in the cloudless sky the starlings murmur. A gift for the eyes nature in beautiful motion. Open up our hearts, take a moment and be humble.

If we love anyone, the hardest part of our lives is the loss we feel when they part this world.
Each loved one held a piece of our hearts, sweet memories of our parents, brothers, sisters, wives and husband's family, friends. That is the time we truly feel that the earth has stopped, and we are adrift and lost in grief. God is indeed with you at that moment and knows how you feel. Lean on God call him in prayer. Be sure to know that you will meet them all again, when your time comes. Love continues eternally.

Man of God, of peace and love and spirit. Speaking the truth walking through a sea of hate, you led your people like Moses out of Egypt only asking for equal rights and to be inspiration to the world.

Overlooking the Blackhills of Montana, we gave our hearts. Horse riding over the plains. Watching shooting stars at midnight as we lay down on the Prarie, who says you can't have it all.

Along the riverbank the ice forms, the snow crisp and dazzling white shimmering in the winter sunshine.
A dipper sits on a branch looking for a meal. A grey squirrel munches on a wooden table full of nuts. Watching nature's rich tapestry of wonders enriches our souls, and we see the beauty of the world around us, if we stop and take a moment in this busy life. Michael Cochrane © 2022

We all need to show love and compassion and reach out to others in our community and the world. We all are worthy of God's love open our hearts to one another every day help others, only then will we truly see our purpose in this life.
The world needs love and kindness at this time as people suffer such pain with war, hunger, natural disasters, disease. It's through ourselves we need to change our thinking of what's important in life. Money, material goods, don't feed our souls. Doing good for others gives us something that we can feel inside. When we crossover to the next life we will only know exactly how we changed people's situation on our actions in a good way. God wants us to choose the right path and through prayer we will be guided by him if we connect with him each day. Love one another reject hate only love will give us what we need.
The world needs to connect to mother earth by enriching our soul's with helping others, enjoy the simple pleasures of walking through a wood, a beach. Reading, singing, listening to music. Loving the people close to you. Renewal of the spirit finding your purpose in this material world which now knows, too well what's really important in life. This will all pass in time but we need a new society that values people not money a community of all races creeds and color a world that gives and shares the same values. We must not forget the poor the old and the sick the strong must provide shelter and food for all people, pray to God for help each waking day and at night pray for wisdom and inner strength we will prevail.
The world news at this difficult time worldwide is one of loss and heartache. We have to give ourselves time to heal, pray for all people in the earth. Connect with God who knows us. Be open to love and spirit. Together we can get through this have faith. Love to all. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Humanity needs to connect to the earth like never before, we must wake up to the lack of care that is destroying this fragile world. Each of us is connected to the universe through God, who knows us and we must wake up to the environment being destroyed by pollution, seas full of plastic, animals and people going hungry and need of water. We need to protect the future for our children, and our grandchildren. Only when it's all gone we will realise we can't eat money or drink in a desert.
Love is timeless keep it close treasure it in your heart ♥
God lifts us up from our knees when we fall, have faith. You may need to take the first step in the darkness, but he will show you the way truth and the life to him.
Hearts and minds together to heal the world, in prayer.
Love is a dance of two hearts entwined.
Everything we seek is to be found in God's love for us. Listen and pray you shall find.
Kindness and love are the only thing to heal broken hearts.
A life without giving and receiving love is like having a garden without flowers.
To give our life purpose we only need to give compassion and love to others in our journey.
Open your hearts and minds, to each person you meet, listen in silence, and choose your words carefully, and be humble.
Each soul has the ability to make a difference in the world.
Be kind, use your heart to do good things, be thoughtful to others, be humble.
Appreciate what you have and show kindness each day, every action has a reaction.
To accept God fully in your life, to pray with a heart of love and devotion to his son Jesus Christ who died for our sins.
Kindness and humanity are sadly lacking in today's world. Be careful with your words and actions. Michael Cochrane © 2023
Give light to your soul by being kind and showing you care. Console the lonely give of your time and pray for all who need hope in a world of sorrow.
With all your being, fill your life with love for others and offer a helping hand. Michael Cochrane © 2023
