If tomorrow dosen't come...will you have regrets??



     Good evening my friends, I want to thank you for all of you who joined me in prayer today, who stood with me in agreement and opened your hearts to those who are so in need of compassion and empathy! It is such a sad day for so many with the loss of life of a 36 year old mom of three with a baby on the way, losing both mom and unborn has touched the hearts of so many. I pray that you will take from this... that life is very short and we should remember this in all that we do, we need to speak love at all times, we need to share our thoughts and our affections at all times, we must begin to let the negative go and live in the positive so that if we are called home suddenly we have no regrets! Go to your spouse, your children, your parents and your friends and let them know that you love them, never pass on an opportunity to say "I love you"  I love this list taken from Erma Bombeck:

~~If I had life to live over~~
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer)

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the "good" living room, and worried much less about  the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

 I would never have insisted in the car windows being rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. 

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while  watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away  9 months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When  my kids kissed me impetuously ,  I would never have said "later", "now go get washed up for dinner". There would have been more "I love you's" more "I'm sorry's"

But mostly given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it, live it.....and never give it back.  STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!!

Don't worry about who dosen't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, lets cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. 

I pray that you will read this often and think about the words written when it was to late to change these things...don't have regrets when the time comes for you to take the heavenly journey...
~~~LIVE, LAUGH AND LOVE~~~ 

Please continue to pray with me, so many are in need of so much, I know that mass prayer produce miracles as I am witness to them on a daily basis, I love each of you and so appreciate the love and support you give me, may this evening be a "wake up" for you, that if you don't take time to smell the roses you will have missed out on one of God's beautiful gifts!

Our kind and loving Father in Heaven, I come to you "On bended knees" asking that you will wrap your arms around this ladies family, that you will comfort them with the knowledge that indeed she is home now, that there is no pain, there is no suffering, only beauty and peace. We ask that you bless them father with your love and with an understanding that this is not "goodbye" but "until we meet again" I ask these mercies in the name of our savior, Jesus Christ, amen!

How? How does something like this even happen? More prayers, please!
From Jack B. Westbrook:
Update on Austin: Austin was shaken and thrown on the couch by his babysitter on Tuesday. He stopped breathing and had a seizure. He is now at Cook Children's Hospital in Ft Worth. He has a brain hemorrage with some damage to his brain tissue. Fluid is being removed from his brain daily. His retina are severely damaged with blood clots that may leave scarring and loss of vision. The doctors also discoverd that he has a clinically fractured arm. The EEG showed he is still seizing; now controlled by meds but requires intubation. Thank you for all of your prayers that he will be made whole; please keep them coming!!! The babysitter who admitted to doing this is in jail in Abilene, TX with first degree injury to a child charges pending.

It has taken me a while to begin this prayer, I had to sit in quiet reverence and really chat with God. I first felt enraged at the fact that this has happened to yet another child, I then felt heartbroken for the child and the family as they are sitting there going through all of the worry and fear of the yet known. I had to ask God for peace and calm, I had to pray for understanding and compassion, I had to get "on bended Knees" and ask God to forgive me for my anger. I asked him to guide me in my words and to lead me in this prayer.
Our dear kind and merciful father in heaven I ask you to guide me this night in a prayer that is so painful for me, I am praying for an innocent little child who has been abused, who has been hurt father by the hand of an adult with no regard for the damage that has been caused. Father this is so hard for me to even begin to understand, you have sent this spirit down for a physical body, his family loves him so much and trusted this person to care for him with love and to keep him safe from harm! Father we do not now the answers to what happens here, we do not understand how things like this can happen, we do know father that you are here for us when we are in need and we know that "life happens" here on earth, there are people who are evil, they have a lack of morals, lack of nurturing, the lack of worth in human life, they only care for themselves and have no regard for others! This is not of you Father, You did not allow it, again life happens here on earth...He does however have the power to intercede now, you have the power to produce in this child an amazing miracle of health restored, you have the power, if it be his will to right this wrong. I ask you Father to bless this baby and his family with your healing hands, touch him on all of his affected areas and heal them, I raise my hands toward you , I cry for all of the hurt babies and I ask you to bless them all with a miracle. I ask these mercies in the name of Jesus Christ our savior, amen.

Father I come to you in prayer this night asking that you will touch the relationship with this mother and daughter, that you will lay hands upon both hearts and render them healed from the problems that have arisen, allow both of them to lay down their angst and bring them together in calm and understanding and allow them to talk this issue through, I ask you to wrap your arms around them and allow them to feel the very love you have for them to flow through their veins and for them to see the truth on relationships between mother and child, I ask these favors and blessings in the name of Jesus our savior, amen.
