Seeing this photo reminded me of an evening ritual..
one that is repeated in most every home,
every night..
the saying of ones prayer's before turning in for the night.
As a child, i would say :
"I see the moon,
the moon sees me..
God bless the moon..
and God bless me..
Now I lay me down to sleep..
I pray the Lord my soul to keep..
Four posts has my bed..
four Angels at my head..
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John..
Bless the bed I lay upon..
and then began the singular God blesses..
mommy, daddy,
siblings
extended family..
finally pets..
then the riduculous..
to the mundane.."
then mom would end my prayer with..
come on, you are making others wait to talk to God!!
strange how a picture can trigger obscure memories..
what old memories of yours have surfaced lately?
hugs..
Loui♥

Blue Monday
Mellow Yellow Monday
Lovely post! The moon can indeed be a mirror that reflects some of our deep thoughts - it is often a wonderful mellow yellow colour, too!
ReplyDeletethese are fabulous moon photos. the 3rd photo is magical! so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother crossed stitched a similar poem/prayer for me when I was a baby. I have it framed and hanging on the wall. I should do a post on it one day - it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful memory you have, Loui. Thanks for sharing these beautiful blues.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Very beautiful, a great stuff to enlighten anyone's day!

When I would spend summers away at camp, I would get so homesick. My mom would always say on the phone "Can you see the moon?" "Yyeeessss" I'd blabber back crying. "Well Honey, that's the same moon I'm looking at". Love the moon fotos especially the first one with the moon behind the pine limb.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, love that church photo.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday :)
Stunning!! So perfect!!
ReplyDeleteVisiting again for Blue Monday!

On our way home last night, I looked up and saw the beautiful full moon and kicked myself for not having my camera with me. Those pictures are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMemories just pop into my head for no particular reason and in no particular order and sometimes my husband will say "what in the world made you think of that??" Who knows??
The moon is amazing! And for several nights each month it shines straight into our bedroom!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect capture of Moon:)

Beautiful photos and memories! I remember saying the same prayer before bed, and it still runs through my head.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! That's the same prayer I used as a child. Wonder if it's a Florida thing!? Your photos are gorgeous, especially the one with the pink sky, and the church.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to dance in the moonlight! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!
