I am very well thank you.

Glad to hear that Deb, it is hard to lose someone, it takes time and lots of prayer.

Life is Short,

They say it takes a minute
to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them
a day to love them
but then an entire life
to forget them

aaaaahhhhhh I love that brit.

One of my friends from bible study sent me that today with a picture of an angel.


The essence of the Christian faith can be summed up in one word—love. God loves us. We are called to love God with all of our mind, body, and spirit and to love our neighbors as ourselves. According to Christ's own words in the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 22), “All of the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Christ points to love in the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 5). We should love our enemies and pray for them. There is no gain if we only love those who also love us. It is a difficult concept to grasp and apply in one's life. Christ tells us that, ultimately, God's goal for us is to “be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect.”

God calls us in many ways, one of those is prayer - our time to be in communion with God.

Charles H Spurgeon beautifully describes prayer in the following words:

The Bell-rope of Heaven

Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarecely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give an occasional pluck at the rope; but he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly, and pulls continuously, with all his might.

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."

The Lord led the holy man to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here

the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand."

It is simple," said the Lord.

"It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you. Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title "7%".

I'm in the 7% .............

Remember that I will always share my spoon with you.

Has anyone looked around lately at our World ? The beauty of creation is still there amoung the filth and I challenge you to seek it out and share it with your loved ones before it's too late.

~ I Miss You Daddy ~

I awoke today and the void of you not being there
so overwhelmed me that I was in great loss without
your love around me Daddy.

Oh! Daddy what am I going to do now without you
here to guide me with all your words of wisdom
and hearing your loving voice that always healed
my heart and lifted my spirit with joy?

My pain is so indescribable Dear Daddy that I am
in shock to the point that I want to curl up into
a ball and do nothing but have sweet dreams of you
holding me in your arms and never letting go.

Rivers of tears will always be in my heart for you
Daddy and life will never be the same without you
my Dear Sweet Daddy. Oh! God help my pain and tell
my Daddy I miss him so.

Oh! my sweet darling daughter I am here with you
forever more looking down upon you from heaven
with many angels of joy that are guiding me even
closer to your heart than ever before.

Please don't cry my sweet loving daughter for I am
in paradise with God holding my hand out to you in
the winds that flow across your soul, can't you feel
and hear me sweetheart?

My sweet angelic daughter you need not hurt, for all I
feel now is peace, love and joy like I never have felt
before in the hands of God and with all the angels that
are protecting you for me.

My most dearest daughter, sleep with dreams of angels
by your side and smile with all your heart while you seek
me everyday in the heavens above, for I am sitting here by
the throne of God waiting until you're day of arrival to
once hold you in my arms again.

Hi Deb,

Thank you for sharing that poem, I shall take a look at your friend's site.

It was a lovely day. I was in Rhode Island to visit with a friend; whilst driving around we saw a lovely little cottage, it's near a really pretty lake. Hoping to take a look at it next week.

"The good man brings good things
out of the good stored up in his heart....
For out of the overflow of his heart
his mouth speaks."
- luke 6:45

Facing Burdens

Everyone has a burden to bear. How we treat others while
they face their burdens is a good indication of how we are
facing ours.
