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!
