Back at it, not full strength but moving in that direction!!!

Hello and happy Friday, first I would like to apologize for the lack of writing the last few days, I guess I really should take on a partner so that I can have a fill in for when I cannot be present,,,I have been in the hospital since Tuesday, came home yesterday evening and am just really taking it easy today, not that typing on my blog is not easy but I am really trying to just lay here and rest. I have missed you terribly....

 I so appreciate all of the prayers that have been lifted in my name and know that without the mass amount of prayers that I would not have progressed as well as I have over the last few days. I am still weak and my lungs are still not very strong but I am in the mindset of onward and upward and will not take any other directions. 

I am going to make this short and am going to just include my favorite prayer as you all know it is so important to me, I feel that it touches so many who are struggling and I know that it will touch you if you are in need of a little extra lifting. God bless you and I will see you all tomorrow...

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day.  

I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.  

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving and understanding God.  

You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.  

Forgive me this day for I have sinned. 

I ask now for Your forgiveness.  

Keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Let me start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. 

Let me make the best of each and every day 

and give my best in all that is put before me.  

Clear my mind that I can hear from You.  

Broaden my mind that I can accept all things.  

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.  

Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes

and acknowledge it as evil.  

And when I sin, let me repent, and confess my wrong doing,

and receive the forgiveness of God.  

And when this world closes in on me, 

let me remember Jesus' example --- 

to slip away and find a quiet place to pray.  

It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.  

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.

Continue to use me to do your Will. 

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.

I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.

I pray for those who refuse to share a word from You.

I pray for those that will read this and not use this in their lives.

I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others.

I pray for those that don't believe.  But I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers.

This is my prayer; I pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.
