I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a
loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called
Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called
Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will
make it to a place called Success.

I hope not to effend any non-believers, but in this share & prayer section, I've gotta say that I truly believe we have a God who works miracles everyday, he allows some bad things to happen, but in looking back, hopefully we find important lessons learned and growth in our faith in the process and we must share our HOPE with those a step behind.
JAMES 1: 1-4
It is my prayer that everyone has a peaceful and easy week in all areas and every moment. Let's realize that we are not alone and when things seem out of control - they're not. I pray for God's healing for each & every one of you.

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life,
ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!
And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far...
the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships
because they have served to make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart.
I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts...the morning dew, the sun, the
clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Today, none of these miraculous
creations will escape my notice.
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make
someone smile. I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of
kindness for someone I don't even know.
Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I'll
tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply
I care for them and how much they mean to me.
Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being
grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me.
I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in
God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.
Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens.
I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise
God for these magnificent treasures.
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the
Almighty for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a
contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is
going to be ......
The Best Day Of My Life!
Her doctor met her there and checked her rectum. The problem wasn't coming from there. So they were trying to get the bleeding stopped before doing anymore procedures on her. On Sunday at noon they finally were able to put a light down her throat. She recv'd the most horrible news...Cancer. She has 3 very large masses in her stomach and it has already gone to her liver. I rec'vd a call @ 12:20 from her daughter, with the bad news. I couldn't control my emotions and all I could say was "God No"..."GOD NO"...I was weeping uncontrollably. Of course my g.daughter ran to my side, as well as my husband. I told her daughter I was so sorry but I had to get off the phone. I told my husband @ g.daughter the news.
I immediately started to pray and weep before the Lord. I cried and cried. In about an hour her 2 daughters pulled into their parents drive-way. As soon as they got out of the car they came straight over to our house. We all hugged and cried. When we settled down we talked. The doctors put a rush on her tests to find out what kind of Cancer it is. These are some of the most wonderful ppl in the whole wide world. They have both been so good to me and my family while I was on tx, before and after.
She is an artist when it comes to crousaing (spelling ?) She made me and my Mother each, a very beautiful table clothe. She also has Parkinson's....I never could understand how she was able to make such lovely...timeless...beautiful pieces. I feel so lucky to have one of her wonderful pieces of art work. I will always cherish it. We sent her a beautiful European dish garden. I have talked to her everyday and my g.daughter and I are going to visit w/ her tomorrow a.m. I know I have to be strong and not get upset. She seemes to be in very good spirits. She knows and loves her Lord.
So please send up many prayers for her. And her family. She told me on the phone yesterday...she wasn't going to die for at least 16 and 1/2 years....that's when her last great-granddaughter will graduate from high school. This is one of the most precious ladies I have ever known. Once my Mother had given me a set of 3 antique mixing bowls. Betty walked very slowly over to see them one day last yr. With-in 2 days her husband Harold walked over, hiding something behind his back. She, unknowingly to me, had studied the colors of my "prized bowls". She had made pot warmers to match my bowls. I couldn't believe it...the colors where exactly the same colors of beige, lite pink and lite blue. I was amazed. I went over to Thank her and she laughed so hard!!! She was so happy to know she had "pulled one" over on me! W/O me even realizing she was studying the colors so hard!!!
We have had some wonderful times together, she and her husband are characters!!!! We have shared some great stories together.
PLease remember Betty in your prayers. Miracles do happen! I believe in miracles. Like it says in the Bible..if we have faith, even as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains. And my Sister told me just the other day.....when satan knocks at our door....say Jesus would you please answer the door for me!!! LOL I thought that was so cute. I love you all so much and Thank-You all for praying for my "second" Mother. God Bless Us All, as ral always says.
I pray that God will work miracles for all of his children and that we all will witness and let others see God's love in our hearts and in our souls. I pray that Jesus Christ will take each of us under his wings and restore our health as only He Can Do. I ask these things in Our Heavenly Father's name....Cindee
I will show you that our intent and true heart feelings do work. I never get into arguing religion or beliefs with anyone unless they ask and then I will tell them what I believe I do think at this time the church is very confused, but again that is my belief. But I do believe GOD HAS A HEART FOR FORGIVENESS WAY BIGGER THAN OF OF US KNOW.
Our little grandson Drakie and I were sitting on the road, it is a dirt road with gravel and stones and we were picking out pretty stones. We have a big mountain behind us and just out of the clear blue he looks up at the mountain and says in this precious, innocent voice "Papa where is Jesus on the Mountain". I was so touched this was the truest prayer I think I have ever heard. I responded with "I think I see him up there don't you? and he is also and I pointed to my heart and said "He is in here also". Remember I was born a Jew so I have some interesting veiws.
Again I won't push what I believe I just want to share this with people I love.
Your friend

I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!
Cindee - You & your precious neighbors are at the top of my prayer list - I'm no stranger to cancer...just don't be afraid to talk about it when you are around them. It gets so lonely if cancer is a 'forbidden subject'. I will also pray for you - it won't be easy, but there's many ways you can show you care, and really make a difference. They're blessed to have a caring neighbor like you, I pray for God's strength & wisdom in this journey. Please keep us updated
Indiana - thanks for sharing your gift of writing - you should collect & publish them... you are such an encourager with your reminders of the good in life - things we should all keep close at heart and right out front!! Smiles ARE contageous!!

P.S. An update on my neighbor Betty's cancer. She has Signet Ring Adenocarcinoma...a rare type of cancer, and it's a very agressive type...it is 100% fatal, it is in her stomach and has already gone to her liver. It's inoperable and they have given her 2 to 6 months to live. She goes to her doctor tomorrow to decide whether or not to do chemo and radiation. I really hope she decides against it and lives the rest of her days not so sick. She is in very little pain and the worst is a headache. This has saddened us all, but it looks like soon she will be with her Maker and in no more pain and suffering. I am trying Not to be selfish in my prayers, but it's so hard Not to do. But I am praying that God will have mercy on her. I am trying my best to Trust and Obey in God. Please continue to keep her in your prayers...family as well. Thank you all so much. I LOVE YOU ALL WITH THE LOVE OF THE LORD. Cindee

I pray we all feel the warmth of love and the security of family/friends.
Lord, teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart . . . Psalm 90
Help us do today the things that matter,
not to waste the time we have.
Yes, the moments we have are precious, Lord,
see that we count them dear.
Teach us to number our days aright.
Fill us this day with your kindness,
that we may be glad and rejoice all the days of our life.
Glory to the Father. . .
difficult times.

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, the privilege is ours to be called to share in the loving, healing and reconciling mission of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord in this age and wherever we are. Since without you we can do no good thing,
may your Spirit make us wise;
may your Spirit guide us;
may your Spirit renew us;
may your Spirit strengthen us so that we will be strong in faith; discerning in proclamation; courageous in witness; persistent in good deeds.
This we ask through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
