If someone makes a difference in your life, tell them....perhaps if you don't, they will never know!!!

   

Good evening, it is hard to believe that it is already Friday, the days seem to be flying by. It was a difficult day for me so all of the nice things that were said on my facebook page were in such good time. Try as I may I have not been able to get rid of this headache I have, one thing after another has been thrown at me and it seems I need to be an octopus to catch them all! Thank God I have Wayde, not only the love of my life, my forever partner but also a massage therapist and today I relented and let him give me a massage...what a way to "leave your worries at the office" he has the most wonderfully electric hands and can take any stress you are holding and turn it in to jelly. I am so blessed to have him in my world.:)
     Today I have been humbled down to nothing, setting the negative aside..( I refuse to hold it in my hands and let it ruin the day the Lord has made for me) I received some of the most heart touching posts on facebook, when my day is overrun and I have to literally stop mid stream to keep this blog going...and I receive little to no feedback I begin to get discouraged....not from the lack of action on it but that maybe I am not receiving God's promptings the way he needs me to and that I am letting him down by not writing what someone is in need of. This week has been a week when I have felt like I really was missing the mark and I began to think about letting the blog fall to the wayside when boom this morning so many of you came to me and let me know that it does make a difference...thank you Father for allowing this perfect timing!
     As I do off and on, I would like to spotlight a few people who are inspirations to me on a daily basis, I know that they are in my life for purpose and reason and the example they give of being true Christians is such a comfort to me and makes me want to walk a bit straighter! My daughter is one of my biggest inspirations, she is so filled with the spirit, so in tune with the love of God and so open to the Holy Ghost. She has been that way since she was a little girl, she has always possessed a love for people, mainly the elderly and special needs angels. She has a heart that is bursting with love for them, she is patient and kind, she is nurturing and gentle. Megan never meets a stranger and is always eager to give one of her beautiful smiles to everyone, her spirit radiates and is contagious to say the least. I am so very blessed to have had the opportunity to be her mother, and to be her friend. She is a grown woman now and I am so very pleased with some of the routines and practices she has instituted into her life. She is a wonderful person and I pray that each of you will have opportunity to know someone like her in your lifetime. I love you "daughter of mine" and praise the Lord each day for giving me the gift of "YOU"
   Another person that I look at with wonder and amazement is a person I have only had the opportunity to meet but once, she is such an inspiration to me with her never ending spirit and her zeal for life. You know the saying, "when life gives you lemons...make lemonade" Well life has certainly given her a bushel of lemons and no matter how tart they are she seems to make the sweetest lemonade there is. She has been dealt an ugly hand, but has taken it in stride and continues to praise the Lord and keeps her eyes on the prize! Darla, you are amazing to me, you are a great mom, such a wonderful friend to Megan, a wonderful sister and a beautiful daughter to our Father in Heaven. I know that he has an amazing plan in the works for you and that you will receive an abundance of blessings for holding fast to the rod and allowing God to carry you when you cannot seem to find your feet. Thank you for allowing me to see that life is not about the hard knocks, it is not about the bad stuff, it is about overcoming and being stronger after the storm.
     May this evening be filled with only good things for you and yours, may it be filled with reasons to "belly laugh" may it be an evening that makes the long, tedious week worthwhile. May this weekend be filled with rest and relaxation, with love and joy and peace and comfort. God bless you all, each and everyone, with his love:) In Christ, amen.

Happy Sunday evening, today has been a lovely day the weather has been perfect, 85 degrees and steady breeze, and sunshiny skies:) I love Sunday's, love, love, love them. Today I have been in thought very much of my Megan, she is the absolute love of my life, when she moved out of state I thought I would not now how to breath, but it was detrimental in her life to make the move and the "cutting of the cord" has been wonderful for her. She is in a relationship with a dear, dear young man, one who I know is her forever partner, one who I know will take very good care of her, is willing to work side by side with her and is fair and honest. I have only been with him a few times but love so much the person that he is...kudos to his parents, I know he is very pleasing to them. I will get to visit with my daughter in the next few days and I will be so very excited to just be breathing the air that she is breathing:) The song I am posting tonight is how I felt the day I gave birth to her and is the way I feel today, I hope you will listen to the words and relive the beautiful unconditional love you felt when yours was born:)
Tonight I have a special prayer to add to the circle, a good friend to many is in fear for her mother, she is suffering some problems with her heart and is in the hospital awaiting a scan tomorrow, please pray for this lady that she is able to rest comfortably and that she will be able to reserve her calm while waiting for the test to be done, please ask with me for our Father in Heaven to touch her heart, to hold it in his healing hands and make it a simple fix. I also ask that you get "on bended knees" with me and ask special mercies on all that are suffering loss, emotional, physical, and spiritual woes, those who are lost and feel that God has taken a step back from them, those who are healing from surgery's, those struggling with finances, those who are unemployed, those who are still rebuilding from the storms, those in the floods in Minot, North Dakota, those who are in the military fighting for our freedom, for our ministers, for our government and lastly for ourselves, Pray for relief, pray for comfort, pray for peace, pray for calm, and pray for strength to help us get through the hard times. Tonight may you be blessed with a wonderful peaceful sleep, may God be a shield for bad dreams, may he be a soft pillow for you to lay your head on and a wonderfully warm blanket that you cover with! God bless you so much, thank you for coming and lifting prayers with me, thank you for being my friend and know that you are loved!!!!

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.
