LOVE

A NEW FAMILY

Written by : Jill Fantinã

( 8x10 Print _ J2244 )

 

God sent an Angel down © to dry the tears and mend a heart. ©

To give a second chance at love © to grant a brand new start, ©

And so He blessed our lives again © with confidence and strength ©

We knew this Angel sent from God © would go to any length

He began be mending spirits © and then dried the bitter tears

He granted that our love would grow © and thrive through coming
years

He sent a special someone © who is nurturing and caring

Who's soul was now committed © and whose love was made for
sharing.

And so as broken pieces of our dreams begin the mending…

We're blessed now as a "family" © through grace the Fathers' sending.

A bedtime story read in love © a goodnight kiss © your touch

A firm but loving, guiding hand, © those things that mean so much

And now we watch life's mystery © before our eyes unfold.

For LOVE is a special gift from God

That's treasured

More than

Gold.

 

A PRAYER FOR A BROKEN HEART

Written by : Jill Fantinã

( 8x10 Print _ J2131 )

 

Dearest Lord…for the right words © I'm now at such a loss

So heavy laden is my heart © as I come to the cross.

You said Lord in Your word, that I could cast my burden there.

For no one else can feel my pain of know how much I care.

I know my heart is not the first heart broken, and I feel…

My eyes are not the first to cry these tears I can't conceal

And I know there is nothing Lord, that I am feeling now

That You have not experienced through suffering somehow.

But while I'm weak © please give me the strength and help me
understand

That if I trust You © You will weave together all You've planned.

Help me to commit myself to You and to Your will. ©

So you can freely work to help me graciously fulfill…

My every purpose here and Lord I know that since You came

The most important things in life are those done in Your name.

Help me always trust You Lord © wherever roads may lead. ©

Let me glorify You in each thought and word and deed

The emptiness I'm feeling now was never meant to be

For I was sure if I gave love it would return to me

Precious time was sacrificed to nurture all the things

That seemed to be the treasures that a loving union brings

But somewhere and somehow it was all lost along the way

Please touch me now and heal my grief

As I come now to

Pray.

 

A SPECIAL COUPLE

*original poetry by : Jill Fantinã

( 8x10 Print - J0074 )

 

A page of life is printed with the happiness you share.

 

Still throughout life's ups and downs, you've proven how you care.

Planning things together when you fail or when you win.

Ever keeping love and joy alive through thick and thin.

Coping with negatives to get each other through.

Inspired by the positives, somehow you always knew.

A love was meant to be between a couple that's so caring.

Learning, growing, knowing that a life means more through sharing..

 

Cherishing the moments that your time together brought.

Over years your memories will keep you close in thought.

Understanding love is made of "oh! so many things!"…

Precious things between "just you" that life together brings.

Let your heart hold all your plans. Your conscience be your guide.

Ever staying one in Love, through patience you'll abide.

 

 

AN ENGAGEMENT PRAYER

Written by : Jill Fantinã

* Available in "I" or "WE" . . . please specify.

( 8x10 Print _ J2147 )

 

A promise has been shared by two © that I so dearly love ©

Now may You look down on them © with Your grace from up above.

Through

Each trial that they may face © or each joy that they may share. ©

Never leave them, Father, © always let them know You're there.

Give them grace to see Your will © through Your forgiving eyes. And

As they plan their future, Lord © please help them realize…Through
Your

Granting them this sacrament © a new life has begun. © In

Entering this covenant © in joining them as one.

May every dream and every plan and all they say and do…Be

Everlasting as they learn to walk in faith with You.

Near to them © in spirit please © Dear Father, always stay. ©

To guide them down the paths of life © to light the perfect way.

 

Protect them from the world, Lord, © for there's so much to heed.

Remember them in times when they may have a special need.

And lastly, Lord, © because they both are truly loved so much.

Your constant love is needed through Your ever present touch.

Encouraging Your will as part of all that years may hold. ©

Remind them that I'm there for them ©as all their dreams

Unfold.

 

AND IN THE END

And in the end…

The love you take

is equal to the love you make!

EL AMOR

 

( LOVE IS . . . CORINTHIANS )

( 8x10 Print _ 0359 )

 

El Amor es paciente y muestra comprension.

El Amor no tiene cellos, no aparenta ni se infla.

No actua con bajeza ni busca su propio interes.

No se deja llevar por la ira y olvida lo malo.

 

Pedura a pesar de todo, lo cree todo, lo espera todo y lo
sorota todo.

 

El Amor nunca pasara.

Las profecias pederan su razon de ser,

Callaran las lennguas y ya no sevica el saber mas
elevaado.

Ahora, pues,

Son validas la fe la esperanza y el amor;

Las tres,

Pero la major de setas tres

es El Amor

 

FINDING MR. RIGHT

Written by : Jill Fantinã

( 8x10 Print - J2010 )

 

Finding "Mr. Right" requires something more than tact.

I wonder why it seems to me he's so hard to attract.

Night Clubs, bright lights, music are great friends when I am lonely.

Determined that tonight I'll surely find my "One And Only".

In searching for devotion and companionship it's true . . .

No one wants commitments when it comes to loving , too.

Good times I look forward to just somehow end in pain . . .

 

My great anticipations always seem to be in vain.

Reminded of the days when hearts were light and life was free.

I believed that someone somewhere was created just for me.

 

Reflecting back I often saw myself as wife and Mother.

In someone's pleasant company enjoying one another.

Gatherrings on Holidays . . . a home and family . . .

How could I have guessed I'd find myself so very lonely?

Tonight I'll go to bed alone, I'll say a little prayer . . .

That God will understand my hurt

and keep me in His care.

God made woman from mans' rib…

Not from his head to top him…

Nor from his feet to be walked upon…

But from his side to be a partner for life…

From under his arm to be protected…

And from near his heart

To be loved

By him.

My heart was filled with butterflies

 as you came into view

And I reminisced back to the day

When we both said “I DO!”

My “Knight In Shining Armour”

is what you were to me

And I knew in my heart of hearts

Our Love was “ meant to be!”

Recalling our sweet memories

We laughed . . . we loved . . . we cried

When times got rough you held me strong

 and were always at my side.

Through all the ups and all the downs

  you’re still my very best friend

And if I could go back in time

I’d do it all again!

So sweetheart I am honored

to proclaim my so true

Without a doubt

With all my heart

I STILL WOULD

 MARRY YOU!

I

LOVE

YOU

Not only for what you are…

But for what I am when I am with you.

I LOVE YOU

Not only for what you are making of yourself

But for what you are making of me.

For putting your hand into my heaped up heart

And passing over all the foolish, weak things

That you cannot help but see there

And for drawing out into the light

All of the beautiful qualities

That no one else had ever looked

Quite far enough to see

I guess that's what

Being a friend means

After all.

LOVE IS A GREAT THING

( 8x10 Print _ 0152 )

 

Love is a great thing, a great good in every way;

It alone lightens what is heavy,

And leads smoothly over all roughness.

For it carries a burden without being burdened,

And it makes every bitter thing sweet and tasty.

Love wants to be lifted up…not held back by anything low.

Love wants to be free

And far from worldly desires,

So that its inner vision may not be dimmed

And good fortune bind it or

Misfortune cast it down.

Nothing is sweeter than LOVE;

Nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing wider,

Nothing happier, nothing fuller,

Nothing better in heaven and earth;

For LOVE is born of God…

Love keeps watch and is never unaware;

Even when it sleeps;

Tired…it is never exhausted;

Hindered…it is never defeated;

Alarmed…it is never afraid;

But like a living flame and burning torch…

It bursts upward and blazes forth.

Love is quick, sincere, dutiful, joyous and pleasant;

Brave, patient, faithful, prudent, serene and vigorous,

And it never seeks itself.

For whenever we seek ourselves…

We fall away from Love.

Love is watchful, humble, and upright;

Not weak or frivolous, or directed toward vain things;

Temperate, pure, steady, calm and alert in all senses.

Love is devoted and thankful to God,

Always trusting and hoping in Him

Even when it doesn't taste His sweetness,

For without pain…no one can live

In

LOVE.

 

LOVE IS . . . (CORINTHIANS )

( 8x10 Print _ 0004 )

( 5x7 Print - 05394 )

( 8x10 Print _ 0285 )

( 8x10 Print _ 0323)

 

Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous or boastful,

it is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way;

It is not irritable

Or resentful,

It does not rejoice at wrong,

But rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends . . .

So faith, hope, love abide, thee three;

But the greatest of these

is

Love.

TRUE LOVE

( 8x10 Print - 0164 )

 

True Love is a sacred flame

That burns eternally

And none can dim its special glow

Or change its destiny.

 

True Love speaks in tender tones

And hears with gentle ear.

True Love gives with open heart

And True Love conquers fear.

 

True Love makes no harsh demands

It neither rules nor binds

And True Love holds with gentle hands

The hearts that it entwines.

 

TWICE BLESSED

Treasured are the memories © we put behind us now.

While they will still remain a special part of us somehow.

In God's most tender mercy © He has opened a new door. ©

Cherishing the gift of LOVE © given to us once more.

Each precious day © is one more chance to send our thanks above.

 

Blessed beyond good measure © with a second chance at LOVE.

Looking to a future © that's not only shared by two. As

Each of us © in turn © wishing for something we could do.

So to bless another's life © and share this happiness.

Savoring each moment that we long to both express.

Ever in our hearts © we'll always know our Father cares.

Drawing us together in an answer to our

Prayers.

 

WOMAN WAS CREATED TO BE LOVED

( 5x7 Print - 05385 )

( 8x10 Print - 0216H - heart )

 

Woman

was created

from the rib of man.

She was not made from his head to top him;

Nor out of his feet to be trampled upon;

But out of his side to be equal to him;

Under his arm to be protected,

And under his heart…

To be

Loved.
