"Keep Believing Good Will Come" by Susan Pearl

 An old fantasy legend said:

That the largest pearl, yet to be discovered, lays in a deep ocean bed.

The height and girth of the mammoth shellfish has only been documented once.

The following day after the documentation an underwater earthquake happened of immense proportion.

Since then the shellfish has not ever been seen again.

But a large boat has be been coming and having divers investigate a certain area 

   for over three years.

People are suspecting this consistent activity may be over the the finding of the giant pearl 

   inside the mammoth shellfish- but no formal announcement has been made.

Some discoveries are easy and sudden just like we happened to come across it.

Other discoveries take time and lots of waiting as if we are led -

  to the the discovery by years of finding other discoveries.

   in both situations it is not about the destination, it is about the journey.

A journey of seeing the positive in negative times and believing good will come.

"Taking Time Gives Back" by Susan Pearl

 I have watched some exercise training classes on TV.

They talk a lot about core strength.

I have ,also, heard a lot about core values.

Having core values give strength.

Both take time, both take consistent commitment efforts,

   and both give back what we put into it.

"Thank You Readers" by Susan Pearl

 I have completed writing 1200 blogs-

   and I would like to thank my readers their support by reading-

   "Pearls Take Time".

My purpose in writing this blog is to bring encouragement:

through  humor,

through inspiration,

through experience

and through sharing something new that has shown me a discovery about life and love.

I hope to continue doing this and encourage others to read past blogs, also.

Thank You Very Much-

"Blessed Childhood" by Susan Pearl

Of all the thoughts of my childhood I have one thought that stands out from all of the rest and for which I am most thankful. My mother prayed with me every night as a child before I went to sleep.

I would be in bed and waiting for her and she came and sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand.

We recited a list asking blessings on family members and said memorized prayers together. 

She would kiss my forehead and pull the bedding up to be under my chin,

Once a week the sheets had been washed and dried on the clothesline all day.

I snuggled in for a good nights' sleep and felt so loved and safe.

Children should feel loved and safe.

It is like a positive launch pad to rise above the negatives in life. 

"My Dream Helper" by Susan Pearl

 If I was in an interview and someone asked me if I had a favorite teacher.

I would say to them, "Not all teachers are in front of blackboards".

Maybe they are called mentors but they definitely are teachers.

I think my best teacher and mentor in life has been my husband.

He is his own person with strong moral guidelines-

With great love, courage, hope and faith in his heart-

He guides a way to a better day-

With wisdom as his shining star we live a good life where ever we are.

He is a worker like I have not ever seen,

And willingly helps others like me achieve a dream.
