My Ancestors ~~ My Heritage

I find my Identity in Them

 

 

These are Ancestor Heritage photos were mostly taken during the 19th Century not too long after Civil War.  Mostly from my Dad’s side mainly Dad’s Mom, My Grandmother Eva Gordon Palmer.  Others were taken during the 1940s and 1950s.

The more recent ones especially those with my parents, Stephen and me were taken during between 1959 when I was born up to and including the early 1990s.

Today’s Forgiving Fridays: Loving My Inner 12-Year Old

Supporting and Uplifting Tanya from Montreal

My Artist buddy who displays her artwork at 14th street Union Square Subway station.

Tanya is seeking to rent a room in an area safe for young Ladies. If you have a reasonable price room close to Manhattan please email me at deborah.palmer280@gmail.com and I will contact Tanya. Thanks.

Working as a museum security guard I don’t have much to give but I always make sure that Tanya has a few dollars.  Tanya has a spirit of Gratitude and Thankfulness. We now share emails about once a week.

Though I was never able to have children of my own I find that God often sends me young women of all races and faiths who need encouragement. Those of us who have passed that half century mark have the benefit of maturity, perspective and experience. Young Ladies don’t always have that and need guidance from older women. I do my best to help. Sometimes young women just need a listening ear. They have pressures and stresses unique to this Digital Age.

As an Elder of the Global Community I’m here to uplift young women. I let them know that they can confide in me about anything. No shame. No guilt. No judgement. Sometimes young women fault themselves and feel like they are stupid I let them no that they are not stupid you just did not know. You did not have the information and now you do. It takes time to get to the level of courage, strength and self confidence and everyone arrives at a different time.

 

Isaiah 54:1

New International Version (NIV)

The Future Glory of Zion

54 “Sing, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,
    you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband,”
says the Lord.

Today’s Forgiving Fridays: What is Really Important? 🙂


 

Here is more artwork from my 14th Street Union Square buddy Tanya from Montreal, Canada. One of the great things about working the evening/late shift is meeting subway artists who are displaying and selling their artworks on or around the subway station. Tanya is a lovely French Canadian young lady from Montreal. I’m always happy to see and talk with her. I try to give her a couple of dollars because I know how difficult life is for young people. She is a Blessing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forgiveness and Forgiving Fridays 

 

Today’s Forgiving Fridays: Trusting Myself to Love

#ForgivingFridays

Forgiving Fridays

Luke 17:3-4 NIV

3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.

4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”

 

Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

During my vacation this past week my travels took me to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden a place that is a slice of Heaven and the Garden of Eden rolled into one glorious encounter with nature. I especially enjoyed the Isamu Noguchi sculptures artfully placed int various areas. As I strolled through the various pathways slowly examining different types of plants, flowers, trees and bushes I felt a real connection to Mother Earth in her natural Glory.
