Hello and Warm Wishes to Everyone

Hello Everybody!

Sorry to have been out of touch! I have been dealing with my fatigue and pain plus Jerry has not been doing well. We have been busy with doctor appointments, trips to the pharmacy and keeping track of all activities. I also finally spent time figuring out what Part D Medicare Plan would work best for us. That job can be time consuming and confusing.

During this season one of the things I would like to share includes a way to free yourself of inner pain. Emotional pain, the pain many of us deal with sometimes without even realizing it. The act and word I would like to share is the act of "Forgiveness."

Forgiveness shows love, strength, and kindness. It means you have honestly come to terms with both the person and what was done to you. It does not necessarily mean you trust that person as you did before, to do so would be naive. Trust must be rebuilt and in time the individual may earn your trust. Forgiveness has nothing to do with trust. Forgiveness is not pretending something never happened. To forgive is to use your heart and your head.

Some people think that forgiveness is for the weak, cowardly, the stupid, and the spineless. Forgiveness requires guts, determination, perseverance, courage, and love. Forgiveness is a spiritual event and sets you free. Keep in mind that the process makes you the victor, not the victim because you are the one choosing to forgive.

So, if you have any friends or relatives you have not kept in touch with because they have hurt you and you have not allowed yourself the freedom to forgive. Take the time to consider what you gain in the end.

I leave you with this Psalm 34:14, "Seek peace and pursue it." If you are not at peace, then don't proceed. Ask God to help you know what to do and what to say. He will answer your prayer.

I hope and pray everyone has a peaceful, healthy day today. Soft Hugs

Thought for the Day and Thinking of Others

The more you pay attention to the needs of others, the easier it is to forget about your own anxieties.



May you have a pain and fatigue free day!

Try not to be envious of others

June 16, 2007

Today try to remember the following:

Do not be envious of others and what the Lord has given them.
Accept what the Lord has given us.
If you think other people are blessed with more than yourself,
Seek the Lord,
He will give you the gifts that you need.
The first shall be last, the last shall be first.


I read this and wrote it down, so I could share it someday. Today is the day I have chosen to share this message.

I hope and pray this information helps someone today.

Family and Friends-Thought for the Day

Family and friends are a very important part of our lives. Sometimes we tend to forget true friends are there during the good and bad times in our lives.

This has lead me to consider this the beginning of my accepting, recognizing my current circumstances and weighing them against new opportunities. That sounds more like the person I used to be. Now you consider doing the same, accept yourself and recognize who and where you are. Then you can work on setting new goals and expectations.

Friends are like angels who help us fly or mend our broken wings. Do not forget your family is also considered a friend.

I pray and hope this post has helped someone today.

Thought for the day

You may give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

Thought for the day

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it
the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
