    Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
    Laughter and pleasure,
    teardrops and pain,
    All days can't be bright, but it's certainly true,
    There was never a cloud
    the sun didn't shine through-
    So just keep on smiling what ever betide you,
    Secure in the knowledge
    God is always beside you ,
    And you'll find when you smile
    your day will be brighter
    And all of your burdens
    will seem so much lighter-
    For each time you smile
    you will find it is true
    Somebody, Somewhere will Smile Back At You,
    And nothing on earth
    can make life more worthwhile
    Than the sunshine and warmth
    of a BEAUTIFUL SMILE.

    I Asked the Lord to Bless You
    As you read this, BELIEVE that God has a blessing in
    store for you.
    I asked the Lord to bless you, as I prayed for you
    today
    To guide you and protect you, as you go along your
    way
    His love is always with you, His promises are true,
    And when we give Him all our cares, You know He will
    see us through.
    So when the road you're traveling on seems
    difficult at best, just remember I'm here praying
    And God will do the rest.--Unknown Author

    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee...Exodus 20:12

    This is dedicated to all of the wonderful women on the boards.Thanking God everyday that we found each other.We have faced many challenges together and continue to battle perils with our sisters wherever they may be . Special love and prayers to all of the women on this prayer list and for all of the women on this board.

    Love and warm thoughts.MJB

    A SPECIAL POEM FOR SPECIAL FRIENDS

    This is the journey and this is the road,
    Helping each other and sharing the load,
    Walking together and seeking the way,
    Sharing the wonder and seizing the day.

    Making discoveries,lessons to learn,
    New exploration as seasons return,
    Finding a way to forget and forgive,
    Counting our blessings and learning to live.

    This is the journey and now is the time ,
    New paths to follow and mountains to climb,
    Travelling onward,enjoying each mile,
    Rejoice in the moment,the journey worthwhile...Iris Hesselden

    Hope reigns in my life today
    My illness does not rule me.
    Daily I seek to
    Acknowledge the physical,
    Be positive in the mental,
    Transcend the emotional,
    And anchor in the spiritual,
    Knowing that God's peace is my goal.
    Thank You,Lord, for today's blessing

    Heal me, O Lord , and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou are my praise...Jeremaih 17:14

    Tonight I pray for all BC patients world wide:
    Love and warm thoughts.MJB

    Life is either a daring adventure or nothing . To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable .

    They may continue to praise you"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength."...Isaiah 40:31

    Praying that God will fill your day with His own peace and the assurance of a quick recovery. My pray goes out to you .

    A prayer for those with cancer..

    Bless, O God,
    all who struggle with cancer.
    Empower them with hope
    for each and every day.
    Provide them with loving
    and tender care, laughter,
    and the support of love.
    Grant them
    courage when they are afraid,
    comfort when they are in pain,
    and your blessing
    when all else seems hopeless,
    that in their fight with illness

    and glorify your name.
    Amen.

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. We give you all those parts of our body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on us today and heal us. Restore us to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to our physicians that he/she may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless our nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch us. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN

    Dear Lord, you are the source of all health and wholeness. Be present now with all those people whom you have sent to work your healing and guide their minds and hands.

    Listen to the passion of your soul,
    set the wings of your spirit free:and let
    not a single song go unsung...Sylvana Rossetti

    For those who suffer,
    and those who cry this day,
    give them repose, Lord;
    a pause in their burdens.
    Let there be minutes
    where they experience peace,
    not of man
    but of angels.
    Love them, Lord,
    when others cannot.
    Hold them, Lord,
    when we fail with human arms.
    Hear their prayers
    and give them the ability to hear You back
    in whatever language they best understand...Margaret A. Davidson

    We beseech thee, Almighty God mercifully to look upon these thy servants; that by thy great goodness they may be governed and preserved evermore , both in body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

    God is always there beside you;
    He will hear your anguished prayers
    If you call on him to help you,
    For God loves you (and yours) and he cares.

    Thou wilt make known to me the path of life;in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever....Psalm 16:11

    Almighty God, We give You thanks, for You are
    the Creator of all life and goodness.We praise
    You for the world You have made for us to
    build and enjoy.
    Loving God Help us to be faithful Harolds of
    Healing anf Hope. Grant us the awareness of
    the healing needs of those around us and the
    compassion to respond willingly to those
    needs.We ask this through Christ, Our Healer
    and source of all Hope...

    I offer prayers to Almighty God for the many newbies on our sight . I pray ever thing goes well for them. I pray the number gets less and less as each day goes by . The sisters who are going through treatment may they find peace ,strength and comfort in God . Sisters who have a recurrence , God help them find hope and peace of mind . The sisters who are finally finished ,help them to overcome the fear of recurrence, give them courage to forge ahead and live their life in Christ . I most humbly ask to help the doctors to finally find a cure for this beast , I ask in the name of Jesus Christ or Lord .Amen

    And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not
    : thou shalt not die...Judges 6:23

    Dear Lord, I place myself in Your loving arms. Please ease my
    doubts, deepen my trust, calm my fears, touch
    my aches and pains, hang onto me
    and restore my insight.




    There is a God. There is more out there than meets the eye.
    There is a tomorrow. And I'm certain I'll be in it.

    Love each other as I have loved you.” John 15:12





    Dear Lord , you know our needs,thoughts, desires and weaknesses.. Read our hearts, , and grant us what we need most according to your plan... You are patient and loving... ....Help us to see your genoursity.... may we follow your lead and be generous with all those whose needs are greater than our own. Spirit of God, dwell in our hearts this night as you you guide us to places of rest and revive our weary spirits. As we come to the end of this day we are grateful, once again...

    "Praying is asking God for help, meditating is listening for God's answer."


    "Every life has it's dark and cheerful moments. Happiness is choosing which to remember."

    Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life;

    Rather look to them with full hope that as they arise,
    God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely
    through all things;

    And when you cannot stand it, God will carry you
    in His arms.

    Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;

    The same everlasting Father who cares for you today
    will take care of you today and every day.

    He will either shield you from suffering or will give you
    unfailing strength to bear it.

    Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and
    imaginations.


    St. Francis de Sales


    May the Good Lord bless you and guide you through this day...xoxo,Patti

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.


    Galatians 5:22-23, New International Version



    Thank you, dear Father, for your Spirit within me. I consciously yield my will and heart to your Spirit's transforming control in my life. Please produce in me the fruit that pleases you and brings you glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

    Quote:

    In humility is the greatest freedom.

    As long as you have to defend the imaginary self

    that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.

    As soon as you compare that shadow

    with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy,

    because you have begun to trade in unrealities

    and there is no joy in things that do not exist.



    Thomas Merton










    Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar, the Chaplain of the NY Fire

    Department. He was known and loved by the NYC Firefighters as well as NYC

    AA members. He was killed on 9-11-01, while administering last rites to a

    dying firefighter at the foot of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

    He created the prayer that follows

    Mychal's Prayer



    Lord,

    Take me where you want me to go;

    Let me meet who you want me to meet;

    Tell me what you want me to say,

    and Keep me out of your way.

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN --

    "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." – Saint Exupery

    Religions are different roads converging upon the same point.
    What does it matter that we take different roads
    so long as we reach the same goal.

    Mahatma Gandhi

    Quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In humility is the greatest freedom.
    As long as you have to defend the imaginary self
    that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.
    As soon as you compare that shadow
    with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy,
    because you have begun to trade in unrealities
    and there is no joy in things that do not exist.

    Thomas Merton




    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar, the Chaplain of the NY Fire
    Department. He was known and loved by the NYC Firefighters as well as NYC
    AA members. He was killed on 9-11-01, while administering last rites to a
    dying firefighter at the foot of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
    He created the prayer that follows
    Mychal's Prayer

    Lord,
    Take me where you want me to go;
    Let me meet who you want me to meet;
    Tell me what you want me to say,
    and Keep me out of your way.

    “He who gives you the day will also give you the things necessary for the day.”

    — Gregory of Nyssa

    ___________________________________________________________
    Dear Lord, it's spring! Your glory is everywhere! The blooms of bulbs long dormant, the songs of returning birds, the caressing warmth of the sun, all of these prove once again that You are trustworthy, that You were there even when everything was cold, dark and silent. You were there, planning greater beauty for us than we had dared to dream. ... When things are at an impasse, help us to realize that "spring" will return to our life, and that You have more gifts in store for us, greater things for us to do. Help us to trust You while we wait, Lord, and while waiting, let us be content to share another's joy.

    In Jesus' name I pray.

    Amen.

    ___________________________________________________________


    Finish every day and be done with it.
    You have done what you could.
    Some blunders and absurdities
    no doubt have crept in;
    forget them as soon as you can.
    Tomorrow is a new day;
    begin it well and serenely
    and with too high a spirit
    to be cumbered with
    your old nonsense.

    This day is all that is
    good and fair.
    It is too dear,
    with its hopes and invitations,
    to waste a moment on yesterdays.
    ---Ralph Waldo Emerson---

    all paths to God are sacred




    Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light somewhere nearby. eb white charlottes web



    O God, I thank You for this day of life
    for eyes to see the sky
    for ears to hear the birds
    for feet to walk amidst the trees
    for hands to pick the flowers from the earth
    for a sense of smell to breathe
    in the sweet perfumes of nature
    for a mind to think about and appreciate
    the magic of everyday miracles
    for a spirit to swell in joy
    at Your mighty presence everywhere.

    -By Marian Wright Edelman

    ---

    Lord, I don't ask for a faith
    that would move yonder mountain.
    I can take enough dynamite
    and move it if it needs movin'.
    I pray, Lord, for enough faith
    to move me.

    -By Norman Allen

    ---

    O Lord, help me to understand
    that You ain't going to let nothing
    come my way that You and me
    together can't handle.”

    ---

    God, when I am lonely
    And perhaps I feel despair,
    Let not my ailing heart forget
    That You hear every prayer.

    Remind me that no matter what
    I do or fail to do,
    There still is hope for me
    So long as I have faith in You.

    Let not my eyes be blinded
    By some folly I commit,
    But help me to regret my wrong
    And make amends for it.

    Inspire me to put my fears
    Upon a hidden shelf,
    And in the future try not to
    Feel sorry for myself.

    Give me the restful sleep I need
    Before another dawn,
    And bless me in the morning
    With the courage to go on!

    ---

    Oh Great Spirit,
    Whose voice I hear in the wind
    And whose breath gives life to all the world,
    Hear my prayer.

    Let me walk in beauty through all my days.
    May my eyes see sunrise freshness,
    And sunset glory.

    Make me wise,
    That I may learn the lessons you teach my people,
    The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
    I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
    But to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

    Let my hands respect the things you have made,
    And my ear be sharp to hear your many voices.
    I am small and weak,
    I need your strength and wisdom.

    O Great Spirit, hear me,
    Make me ready,
    So when life fades to a last sunset,
    My spirit will come to you without shame.

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN --

    -Author Unknown

    God, when I am lonely
    And perhaps I feel despair,
    Let not my ailing heart forget
    That You hear every prayer.

    Remind me that no matter what
    I do or fail to do,
    There still is hope for me
    So long as I have faith in You.

    Let not my eyes be blinded
    By some folly I commit,
    But help me to regret my wrong
    And make amends for it.

    Inspire me to put my fears
    Upon a hidden shelf,
    And in the future try not to
    Feel sorry for myself.

    Give me the restful sleep I need
    Before another dawn,
    And bless me in the morning
    With the courage to go on!

    ---

    Oh Great Spirit,
    Whose voice I hear in the wind
    And whose breath gives life to all the world,
    Hear my prayer.

    Let me walk in beauty through all my days.
    May my eyes see sunrise freshness,
    And sunset glory.

    Make me wise,
    That I may learn the lessons you teach my people,
    The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
    I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
    But to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

    Let my hands respect the things you have made,
    And my ear be sharp to hear your many voices.
    I am small and weak,
    I need your strength and wisdom.

    O Great Spirit, hear me,
    Make me ready,
    So when life fades to a last sunset,
    My spirit will come to you without shame.

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN --

    Truly, it is in the darkness
    that ones finds the light,
    so when we are in sorrow,
    then this light is nearest
    to all of us.

    ~Meister Eckart

    O Lord, help me to understand
    that You ain't going to let nothing
    come my way that You and me
    together can't handle.”

    ---

    God, when I am lonely
    And perhaps I feel despair,
    Let not my ailing heart forget
    That You hear every prayer.

    Remind me that no matter what
    I do or fail to do,
    There still is hope for me
    So long as I have faith in You.

    Let not my eyes be blinded
    By some folly I commit,
    But help me to regret my wrong
    And make amends for it.

    Inspire me to put my fears
    Upon a hidden shelf,
    And in the future try not to
    Feel sorry for myself.

    Give me the restful sleep I need
    Before another dawn,
    And bless me in the morning
    With the courage to go on!

    ---

    Oh Great Spirit,
    Whose voice I hear in the wind
    And whose breath gives life to all the world,
    Hear my prayer.

    Let me walk in beauty through all my days.
    May my eyes see sunrise freshness,
    And sunset glory.

    Make me wise,
    That I may learn the lessons you teach my people,
    The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
    I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
    But to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

    Let my hands respect the things you have made,
    And my ear be sharp to hear your many voices.
    I am small and weak,
    I need your strength and wisdom.

    O Great Spirit, hear me,
    Make me ready,
    So when life fades to a last sunset,
    My spirit will come to you without shame.




    The dawn is not distant,
    Nor is the night starless;
    Love is eternal!

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN --

    In humility is the greatest freedom.
    As long as you have to defend the imaginary self
    that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.
    As soon as you compare that shadow
    with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy,
    because you have begun to trade in unrealities
    and there is no joy in things that do not exist.

    Thomas Merton

    Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar, the Chaplain of the NY Fire
    Department. He was known and loved by the NYC Firefighters as well as NYC
    AA members. He was killed on 9-11-01, while administering last rites to a
    dying firefighter at the foot of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
    He created the prayer that follows
    Mychal's Prayer

    Lord,
    Take me where you want me to go;
    Let me meet who you want me to meet;
    Tell me what you want me to say,
    and Keep me out of your way.

    Dear Lord we pray tonight for Pepper's Niece Marissa and Tasha's son Cyrstian...May spring bring a renewal of energy,strength and healing to these precious children..xoxo,Patti

    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night
    Is turning and the waves of darkness
    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.

    The heavy dark falls back to earth
    And the freed air goes wild with light,
    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath
    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.


    I arise today

    In the name of Silence
    Womb of the Word,
    In the name of Stillness
    Home of Belonging,
    In the name of the Solitude
    Of the Soul and the Earth.

    I arise today

    Blessed by all things,
    Wings of breath,
    Delight of eyes,
    Wonder of whisper,
    Intimacy of touch,
    Eternity of soul,
    Urgency of thought,
    Miracle of health,
    Embrace of God.

    May I live this day

    Compassionate of heart,
    Gentle in word,
    Gracious in awareness,
    Courageous in thought,
    Generous in love.

    --John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

    Be still
    Know I am God.

    I speak to you.
    Be still
    Know I am God.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In humility is the greatest freedom.
    As long as you have to defend the imaginary self
    that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart.
    As soon as you compare that shadow
    with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy,
    because you have begun to trade in unrealities
    and there is no joy in things that do not exist.

    Thomas Merton

    Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar, the Chaplain of the NY Fire
    Department. He was known and loved by the NYC Firefighters as well as NYC
    AA members. He was killed on 9-11-01, while administering last rites to a
    dying firefighter at the foot of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
    He created the prayer that follows
    Mychal's Prayer

    Lord,
    Take me where you want me to go;
    Let me meet who you want me to meet;
    Tell me what you want me to say,
    and Keep me out of your way.

    Dear Sisters Happy Easter, Happy Passover,Happy Spring..I am offering Easter,passover prayers and spring prayers for everyone today...We are all children of this wonderful universe.....Love,peace,light and blessing to all who enter this thread.....Love and peace to everyone on this board..xoxo,Patti



    SPRING PRAYER

    For flowers that bloom about our feet;

    For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

    For song of bird, and hum of bee;

    For all things fair we hear or see,

    Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

    .

    For blue of stream and blue of sky;

    For pleasant shade of branches high;

    For fragrant air and cooling breeze;

    For beauty of the blooming trees,

    Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

    Ralph Waldo Emerson



    An Easter Prayer


    God, give us eyes to see
    the beauty of the Spring,
    And to behold Your majesty
    in every living thing.

    And may we see in lacy leaves
    and every budding flower
    The Hand that rules the universe
    with gentleness and power.

    And may this Easter grandeur
    that Spring lavishly imparts
    Awaken faded flowers of faith
    lying dormant in our hearts.

    And give us ears to hear, dear God,
    the Springtime song of birds
    With messages more meaningful
    than man's often empty words.

    Telling harried human beings
    who are lost in dark despair
    'Be like us and do not worry
    for God has you in His care.'


    By...©Helen Steiner Rice

    For Passover....Proverbs 3:13-23 Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, And the man who gets understanding; For the gain from it is better Than gain from silver, And its increase than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, And all your delights are not comparable to her. Length of days is in her right hand, Riches and esteem in her left hand. Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those taking hold of her, And blessed are all who retain her.

    For everyone...A Vow for Health & Joy

    I vow to offer joy
    to one person in the morning
    and to help relieve the grief
    of one person in the afternoon.
    I vow to live simply and sanely,
    content with just a few possessions,
    and to keep my body healthy.

    I vow to let go
    of all worries and anxiety
    in order to be light and free.


    Thich Nhat Hanh


    Do more than belong: participate.
    Do more than care: help.
    Do more than believe: practice.
    Do more than be fair: be kind.
    Do more than forgive: forget.
    Do more than dream: work.”

    William Arthur Ward


    Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as
    long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.

    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

    "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,

    and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,

    we must believe that one of two things will happen;

    there will be something solid for us to stand on.....

    or we will be taught to fly."


    Patrick Overton



    For those who suffer,
    and those who cry this day,
    give them repose, Lord;
    a pause in their burdens.
    Let there be minutes
    where they experience peace,
    not of man
    but of angels.
    Love them, Lord,
    when others cannot.
    Hold them, Lord,
    when we fail with human arms.
    Hear their prayers
    and give them the ability to hear You back
    in whatever language they best understand.

    Margaret A. Davidson

    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night
    Is turning and the waves of darkness
    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.

    The heavy dark falls back to earth
    And the freed air goes wild with light,
    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath
    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.


    I arise today

    In the name of Silence
    Womb of the Word,
    In the name of Stillness
    Home of Belonging,
    In the name of the Solitude
    Of the Soul and the Earth.

    I arise today

    Blessed by all things,
    Wings of breath,
    Delight of eyes,
    Wonder of whisper,
    Intimacy of touch,
    Eternity of soul,
    Urgency of thought,
    Miracle of health,
    Embrace of God.

    May I live this day

    Compassionate of heart,
    Gentle in word,
    Gracious in awareness,
    Courageous in thought,
    Generous in love.

    --John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

    Mother Teresa
    There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.


    [bSlow me down, Lord!
    Ease the pounding of my heart
    By the quieting of my mind.
    Steady my harried pace
    With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
    Give me,
    Amidst the confusions of my day,
    The calmness of the everlasting hills.
    Break the tensions of my nerves
    With the soothing music
    Of the singing streams
    That live in my memory.
    Help me to know
    The magical power of sleep,
    Teach me the art
    Of taking minute vacations
    Of slowing down
    To look at a flower;
    To chat with an old friend
    Or make a new one;
    To pat a stray dog;
    To watch a spider build a web;
    To smile at a child;
    Or to read a few lines from a good book.
    Remind me each day
    That the race is not always to the swift;
    That there is more to life
    Than increasing its speed.
    Let me look upward
    Into the branches of the towering oak
    And know that it grew great and strong
    Because it grew slowly and well.
    Slow me down, Lord,
    And inspire me to send my roots deep
    Into the soil of life's enduring values
    That I may grow toward the stars
    Of my greater destiny.

    Bruce Barton

    Be a source of healing energies,

    Sunlight filtering in my window ---
    Chasing the night shadows away ---
    The dawning of a new day.

    A day in which I may enjoy to the fullest
    God’s splendor in creation ---
    How marvelous are His works!

    The calming breeze
    Blowing upon my face ---
    The peaceful sounds
    Of the ocean waves lapping against the shore.

    The beauty of a mountaintop ---
    Looking out over endless expansion of earth and sky.
    A brighter horizon ---

    Oh, what a glorious day it is!
    For my God has thus made it for me to behold
    The wonders of His hand ---
    CROWNING TOUCHES of His everlasting love.

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN --

    Help me to realize, O God, that though healing and curing are not necessarily the same, it is healing that makes me whole.



    Heal me, then, O Lord; breathe into me Your peace;



    Comfort me with Your love and help me to know that You are always with me.



    In the name of Jesus I pray.





    My God and Helper, I turn to You in my time of trouble and pray for strength from You.



    You are the healer of the sick and hear my prayer.



    Give me courage to bear the painful;



    Give me the faith to rely on Your presence and



    Give me the confidence to work so that I might aid in my healing.



    Bless the efforts of my physicians;



    Give those who help to heal the wisdom of the ages.



    Bless the skills of all who are seeking to restore me to health and bless their efforts.



    Help me, my God, for the sake of my loved ones, and bring me nearer to the day when I will again be ableto give thanks to You in the midst of those who are dear to me, for all Your loving kindness.



    Give me patience, give me understanding and give me hope.

    I found this prayer by chance and wanted to share it with all of you tonight..It is a healing prayer.......God bless each and everyone of you ladies and your families...You are the best!! Patti.............

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN





    May The light of God surround you

    The love of God enfold you

    The power of God protect you

    The presence of God watch over you.

    ###############################

    Just as the soft rains fill the streams,

    pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,

    so may the power of every moment of your goodness

    flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,

    Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.

    By the power of every moment of your goodness

    May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled

    as completely shining as the bright full moon,

    as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.



    By the power of every moment of your goodness

    May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.

    May no obstacle come across your way.

    May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.



    For all in whose heart dwells respect,

    who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,

    May your life prosper in the four blessings

    of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

    May the stars carry your sadness away,



    May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,



    May hope forever wipe away your tears,



    And, above all, may silence make you strong.

    A Vow for Health & Joy



    I vow to offer joy

    to one person in the morning

    and to help relieve the grief

    of one person in the afternoon.

    I vow to live simply and sanely,

    content with just a few possessions,

    and to keep my body healthy.



    I vow to let go

    of all worries and anxiety

    in order to be light and free.





    Thich Nhat Hanh





    Do more than belong: participate.

    Do more than care: help.

    Do more than believe: practice.

    Do more than be fair: be kind.

    Do more than forgive: forget.

    Do more than dream: work.”



    William Arthur Ward





    Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.



    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as

    long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.



    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.



    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.



    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.



    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.



    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

    "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,



    and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,



    we must believe that one of two things will happen;



    there will be something solid for us to stand on.....



    or we will be taught to fly."





    Patrick Overton







    For those who suffer,

    and those who cry this day,

    give them repose, Lord;

    a pause in their burdens.

    Let there be minutes

    where they experience peace,

    not of man

    but of angels.

    Love them, Lord,

    when others cannot.

    Hold them, Lord,

    when we fail with human arms.

    Hear their prayers

    and give them the ability to hear You back

    in whatever language they best understand.



    Margaret A. Davidson



    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night

    Is turning and the waves of darkness

    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.



    The heavy dark falls back to earth

    And the freed air goes wild with light,

    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath

    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.





    I arise today



    In the name of Silence

    Womb of the Word,

    In the name of Stillness

    Home of Belonging,

    In the name of the Solitude

    Of the Soul and the Earth.



    I arise today



    Blessed by all things,

    Wings of breath,

    Delight of eyes,

    Wonder of whisper,

    Intimacy of touch,

    Eternity of soul,

    Urgency of thought,

    Miracle of health,

    Embrace of God.



    May I live this day



    Compassionate of heart,

    Gentle in word,

    Gracious in awareness,

    Courageous in thought,

    Generous in love.



    --John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

    Mother Teresa

    There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.





    [bSlow me down, Lord!

    Ease the pounding of my heart

    By the quieting of my mind.

    Steady my harried pace

    With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

    Give me,

    Amidst the confusions of my day,

    The calmness of the everlasting hills.

    Break the tensions of my nerves

    With the soothing music

    Of the singing streams

    That live in my memory.

    Help me to know

    The magical power of sleep,

    Teach me the art

    Of taking minute vacations

    Of slowing down

    To look at a flower;

    To chat with an old friend

    Or make a new one;

    To pat a stray dog;

    To watch a spider build a web;

    To smile at a child;

    Or to read a few lines from a good book.

    Remind me each day

    That the race is not always to the swift;

    That there is more to life

    Than increasing its speed.

    Let me look upward

    Into the branches of the towering oak

    And know that it grew great and strong

    Because it grew slowly and well.

    Slow me down, Lord,

    And inspire me to send my roots deep

    Into the soil of life's enduring values

    That I may grow toward the stars

    Of my greater destiny.

    AN EVENING PRAYER

    On the silver edge of twilight,

    When the shadows start to play,

    Let us thank God for the closing

    Of another perfect day.



    He has warmed the earth with

    Sunshine,

    He has caused the rain to fall.

    He has fashioned rainbow colors,

    Flung them high above us all.



    He has spread the world with

    Grasses,

    Scattered flowers everywhere,

    Filled the lakes with sparkling

    Water,

    Stacked up mountains over there.



    He has planted fragrant forests,

    Rolled before us sweeping plains,

    Giving bounty as we harvest

    Purple fruits or golden grains.



    Grand and matchless, His creation,

    Every flower, every leaf--

    Let us care for it and guard it,

    Never snatch it like a thief.



    'Tho we may not understand it,

    Or know every bird and tree,

    Let's give thanks to God

    The Father,

    Who created you and me.

    Help me to realize, O God, that though healing and curing are not necessarily the same, it is healing that makes me whole.



    Heal me, then, O Lord; breathe into me Your peace;



    Comfort me with Your love and help me to know that You are always with me.



    In the name of Jesus I pray.





    My God and Helper, I turn to You in my time of trouble and pray for strength from You.



    You are the healer of the sick and hear my prayer.



    Give me courage to bear the painful;



    Give me the faith to rely on Your presence and



    Give me the confidence to work so that I might aid in my healing.



    Bless the efforts of my physicians;



    Give those who help to heal the wisdom of the ages.



    Bless the skills of all who are seeking to restore me to health and bless their efforts.



    Help me, my God, for the sake of my loved ones, and bring me nearer to the day when I will again be ableto give thanks to You in the midst of those who are dear to me, for all Your loving kindness.



    Give me patience, give me understanding and give me hope.

    I found this prayer by chance and wanted to share it with all of you tonight..It is a healing prayer.......God bless each and everyone of you ladies and your families...You are the best!! Patti.............

    Dear Lord, Good Shepherd, You heal the sick and the needy. I give you all those parts of my body which have suffered from illness. You know what it is like to endure pain. Look kindly on me today and heal me. Restore me to strenght of soul and body. Give Your gift of wisdom to my physician that he/she may may be guided by the Holy Spirit in all he/she does. Bless my nurses so that their hands will become Your hands as they touch me. Bless, too, my medication. O Jesus, grant us all Your healing grace of love and peace. AMEN

    Just as the soft rains fill the streams,

    pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,

    so may the power of every moment of your goodness

    flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,

    Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.

    By the power of every moment of your goodness

    May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled

    as completely shining as the bright full moon,

    as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.



    By the power of every moment of your goodness

    May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.

    May no obstacle come across your way.

    May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.



    For all in whose heart dwells respect,

    who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,

    May your life prosper in the four blessings

    of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

    A Vow for Health & Joy



    I vow to offer joy

    to one person in the morning

    and to help relieve the grief

    of one person in the afternoon.

    I vow to live simply and sanely,

    content with just a few possessions,

    and to keep my body healthy.



    I vow to let go

    of all worries and anxiety

    in order to be light and free.





    Thich Nhat Hanh





    Do more than belong: participate.

    Do more than care: help.

    Do more than believe: practice.

    Do more than be fair: be kind.

    Do more than forgive: forget.

    Do more than dream: work.”



    William Arthur Ward





    Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.



    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as

    long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.



    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.



    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.



    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.



    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.



    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

    "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,



    and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,



    we must believe that one of two things will happen;



    there will be something solid for us to stand on.....



    or we will be taught to fly."





    Patrick Overton







    For those who suffer,

    and those who cry this day,

    give them repose, Lord;

    a pause in their burdens.

    Let there be minutes

    where they experience peace,

    not of man

    but of angels.

    Love them, Lord,

    when others cannot.

    Hold them, Lord,

    when we fail with human arms.

    Hear their prayers

    and give them the ability to hear You back

    in whatever language they best understand.



    Margaret A. Davidson



    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night

    Is turning and the waves of darkness

    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.



    The heavy dark falls back to earth

    And the freed air goes wild with light,

    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath

    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.





    I arise today



    In the name of Silence

    Womb of the Word,

    In the name of Stillness

    Home of Belonging,

    In the name of the Solitude

    Of the Soul and the Earth.



    I arise today



    Blessed by all things,

    Wings of breath,

    Delight of eyes,

    Wonder of whisper,

    Intimacy of touch,

    Eternity of soul,

    Urgency of thought,

    Miracle of health,

    Embrace of God.



    May I live this day



    Compassionate of heart,

    Gentle in word,

    Gracious in awareness,

    Courageous in thought,

    Generous in love.



    --John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

    Mother Teresa

    There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.





    [bSlow me down, Lord!

    Ease the pounding of my heart

    By the quieting of my mind.

    Steady my harried pace

    With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

    Give me,

    Amidst the confusions of my day,

    The calmness of the everlasting hills.

    Break the tensions of my nerves

    With the soothing music

    Of the singing streams

    That live in my memory.

    Help me to know

    The magical power of sleep,

    Teach me the art

    Of taking minute vacations

    Of slowing down

    To look at a flower;

    To chat with an old friend

    Or make a new one;

    To pat a stray dog;

    To watch a spider build a web;

    To smile at a child;

    Or to read a few lines from a good book.

    Remind me each day

    That the race is not always to the swift;

    That there is more to life

    Than increasing its speed.

    Let me look upward

    Into the branches of the towering oak

    And know that it grew great and strong

    Because it grew slowly and well.

    Slow me down, Lord,

    And inspire me to send my roots deep

    Into the soil of life's enduring values

    That I may grow toward the stars

    Of my greater destiny.

    “Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and
    the day is past; be our companion in the way,
    kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may
    know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the
    breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your
    love. Amen.”

    AN EVENING PRAYER
    On the silver edge of twilight,
    When the shadows start to play,
    Let us thank God for the closing
    Of another perfect day.

    He has warmed the earth with
    Sunshine,
    He has caused the rain to fall.
    He has fashioned rainbow colors,
    Flung them high above us all.

    He has spread the world with
    Grasses,
    Scattered flowers everywhere,
    Filled the lakes with sparkling
    Water,
    Stacked up mountains over there.

    He has planted fragrant forests,
    Rolled before us sweeping plains,
    Giving bounty as we harvest
    Purple fruits or golden grains.

    Grand and matchless, His creation,
    Every flower, every leaf--
    Let us care for it and guard it,
    Never snatch it like a thief.

    'Tho we may not understand it,
    Or know every bird and tree,
    Let's give thanks to God
    The Father,
    Who created you and me.
    Nona Carver

    The little plans I tried to carry
    Have failed
    O' Dear God.
    But, I will not sorrow
    I will pause a little while
    And try again tomorrow.

    Help me to realize, O God, that though healing and curing are not necessarily the same, it is healing that makes me whole.

    Heal me, then, O Lord; breathe into me Your peace;

    Comfort me with Your love and help me to know that You are always with me.

    In the name of Jesus I pray.


    My God and Helper, I turn to You in my time of trouble and pray for strength from You.

    You are the healer of the sick and hear my prayer.

    Give me courage to bear the painful;

    Give me the faith to rely on Your presence and

    Give me the confidence to work so that I might aid in my healing.

    Bless the efforts of my physicians;

    Give those who help to heal the wisdom of the ages.

    Bless the skills of all who are seeking to restore me to health and bless their efforts.

    Help me, my God, for the sake of my loved ones, and bring me nearer to the day when I will again be ableto give thanks to You in the midst of those who are dear to me, for all Your loving kindness.

    Give me patience, give me understanding and give me hope.
    I found this prayer by chance and wanted to share it with all of you tonight..It is a healing prayer.......God bless each and everyone of you ladies and your families...You are the best!! Patti.............

    as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

    By the power of every moment of your goodness
    May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
    May no obstacle come across your way.
    May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.

    For all in whose heart dwells respect,
    who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
    May your life prosper in the four blessings
    of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

    A Vow for Health & Joy

    I vow to offer joy
    to one person in the morning
    and to help relieve the grief
    of one person in the afternoon.
    I vow to live simply and sanely,
    content with just a few possessions,
    and to keep my body healthy.

    I vow to let go
    of all worries and anxiety
    in order to be light and free.


    Thich Nhat Hanh


    Do more than belong: participate.
    Do more than care: help.
    Do more than believe: practice.
    Do more than be fair: be kind.
    Do more than forgive: forget.
    Do more than dream: work.”

    William Arthur Ward


    Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as
    long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.

    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

    "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,

    and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,

    we must believe that one of two things will happen;

    there will be something solid for us to stand on.....

    or we will be taught to fly."


    Patrick Overton



    For those who suffer,
    and those who cry this day,
    give them repose, Lord;
    a pause in their burdens.
    Let there be minutes
    where they experience peace,
    not of man
    but of angels.
    Love them, Lord,
    when others cannot.
    Hold them, Lord,
    when we fail with human arms.
    Hear their prayers
    and give them the ability to hear You back
    in whatever language they best understand.

    Margaret A. Davidson

    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night
    Is turning and the waves of darkness
    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.

    The heavy dark falls back to earth
    And the freed air goes wild with light,
    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath
    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.


    I arise today

    In the name of Silence
    Womb of the Word,
    In the name of Stillness
    Home of Belonging,
    In the name of the Solitude
    Of the Soul and the Earth.

    I arise today

    Blessed by all things,
    Wings of breath,
    Delight of eyes,
    Wonder of whisper,
    Intimacy of touch,
    Eternity of soul,
    Urgency of thought,
    Miracle of health,
    Embrace of God.

    May I live this day

    Compassionate of heart,
    Gentle in word,
    Gracious in awareness,
    Courageous in thought,
    Generous in love.

    [bSlow me down, Lord!
    Ease the pounding of my heart
    By the quieting of my mind.
    Steady my harried pace
    With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
    Give me,
    Amidst the confusions of my day,
    The calmness of the everlasting hills.
    Break the tensions of my nerves
    With the soothing music
    Of the singing streams
    That live in my memory.
    Help me to know
    The magical power of sleep,
    Teach me the art
    Of taking minute vacations
    Of slowing down
    To look at a flower;
    To chat with an old friend
    Or make a new one;
    To pat a stray dog;
    To watch a spider build a web;
    To smile at a child;
    Or to read a few lines from a good book.
    Remind me each day
    That the race is not always to the swift;
    That there is more to life
    Than increasing its speed.
    Let me look upward
    Into the branches of the towering oak
    And know that it grew great and strong
    Because it grew slowly and well.
    Slow me down, Lord,
    And inspire me to send my roots deep
    Into the soil of life's enduring values
    That I may grow toward the stars
    Of my greater destiny.

    Prayer for the Home
    Edgar Guest

    Peace, unto this house, I pray,
    Keep terror and despair away;
    Shield it from evil and let sin
    Never find lodging room within.
    May never in these walls be heard
    The hateful or accusing word.

    Grant that its warm and mellow light
    May be to all a beacon bright,
    A flaming symbol that shall stir
    The beating pulse of him or her
    Who finds this door and seems to say,
    "Here end the trials of the day."

    Hold us together, gentle Lord,
    Who sit about this humble board;
    May we be spared the cruel fate
    Of those whom hatreds separate;
    Here let love bind us fast, that we
    May know the joys of unity.

    Lord, this humble house we'd keep
    Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
    Help us so that we may give
    Beauty to the lives we live.
    Let Thy love and let Thy grace
    Shine upon our dwelling place.



    Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and
    the day is past; be our companion in the way,
    kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may
    know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the
    breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your
    love. Amen.”

    source: Book of Common Prayer 1979



    AN EVENING PRAYER
    On the silver edge of twilight,
    When the shadows start to play,
    Let us thank God for the closing
    Of another perfect day.

    He has warmed the earth with
    Sunshine,
    He has caused the rain to fall.
    He has fashioned rainbow colors,
    Flung them high above us all.

    He has spread the world with
    Grasses,
    Scattered flowers everywhere,
    Filled the lakes with sparkling
    Water,
    Stacked up mountains over there.

    He has planted fragrant forests,
    Rolled before us sweeping plains,
    Giving bounty as we harvest
    Purple fruits or golden grains.

    Grand and matchless, His creation,
    Every flower, every leaf--
    Let us care for it and guard it,
    Never snatch it like a thief.

    'Tho we may not understand it,
    Or know every bird and tree,
    Let's give thanks to God
    The Father,
    Who created you and me.
    Nona Carver



    The little plans I tried to carry
    Have failed
    O' Dear God.
    But, I will not sorrow
    I will pause a little while
    And try again tomorrow.
    Anushree Karnani


    Dear Lord tonight we pray for our sister Pam (aka themomashop's) mom Jeanette..Jeanette is growing weaker and her health is failing..Pam just started chemo and also needs our prayers..May they draw comfort in each other and IN YOU!!!.....Tonights prayers are for Pauline and Pam....xoxo,Patti

    Help me to realize, O God, that though healing and curing are not necessarily the same, it is healing that makes me whole.

    Heal me, then, O Lord; breathe into me Your peace;

    Comfort me with Your love and help me to know that You are always with me.

    In the name of Jesus I pray.


    My God and Helper, I turn to You in my time of trouble and pray for strength from You.

    You are the healer of the sick and hear my prayer.

    Give me courage to bear the painful;

    Give me the faith to rely on Your presence and

    Give me the confidence to work so that I might aid in my healing.

    Bless the efforts of my physicians;

    Give those who help to heal the wisdom of the ages.

    Bless the skills of all who are seeking to restore me to health and bless their efforts.

    Help me, my God, for the sake of my loved ones, and bring me nearer to the day when I will again be ableto give thanks to You in the midst of those who are dear to me, for all Your loving kindness.

    Give me patience, give me understanding and give me hope.
    I found this prayer by chance and wanted to share it with all of you tonight..It is a healing prayer.......God bless each and everyone of you ladies and your families...You are the best!! Patti.............

    Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
    pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
    so may the power of every moment of your goodness
    flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,

    By the power of every moment of your goodness
    May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
    as completely shining as the bright full moon,
    as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

    By the power of every moment of your goodness
    May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
    May no obstacle come across your way.
    May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.

    For all in whose heart dwells respect,
    who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
    May your life prosper in the four blessings
    of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

    A Vow for Health & Joy

    I vow to offer joy
    to one person in the morning
    and to help relieve the grief
    of one person in the afternoon.
    I vow to live simply and sanely,
    content with just a few possessions,
    and to keep my body healthy.

    I vow to let go
    of all worries and anxiety
    in order to be light and free.

Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

    Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

    Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as
    long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.

    Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

    Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

    Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

    Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

    Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

    "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,

    and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,

    we must believe that one of two things will happen;

    there will be something solid for us to stand on.....

    or we will be taught to fly."


    Patrick Overton



    For those who suffer,
    and those who cry this day,
    give them repose, Lord;
    a pause in their burdens.
    Let there be minutes
    where they experience peace,
    not of man
    but of angels.
    Love them, Lord,
    when others cannot.
    Hold them, Lord,
    when we fail with human arms.
    Hear their prayers
    and give them the ability to hear You back
    in whatever language they best understand.

    Margaret A. Davidson

    Somewhere, out at the edges, the night
    Is turning and the waves of darkness
    Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.

    The heavy dark falls back to earth
    And the freed air goes wild with light,
    The heart fills with fresh, bright breath
    And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.


    I arise today

    In the name of Silence
    Womb of the Word,
    In the name of Stillness
    Home of Belonging,
    In the name of the Solitude
    Of the Soul and the Earth.

    I arise today

    Blessed by all things,
    Wings of breath,
    Delight of eyes,
    Wonder of whisper,
    Intimacy of touch,
    Eternity of soul,
    Urgency of thought,
    Miracle of health,
    Embrace of God.

    May I live this day

    Compassionate of heart,
    Gentle in word,
    Gracious in awareness,
    Courageous in thought,
    Generous in love.

    --John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

    Mother Teresa
    There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.


    [bSlow me down, Lord!
    Ease the pounding of my heart
    By the quieting of my mind.
    Steady my harried pace
    With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
    Give me,
    Amidst the confusions of my day,
    The calmness of the everlasting hills.
    Break the tensions of my nerves
    With the soothing music
    Of the singing streams
    That live in my memory.
    Help me to know
    The magical power of sleep,
    Teach me the art
    Of taking minute vacations
    Of slowing down
    To look at a flower;
    To chat with an old friend
    Or make a new one;
    To pat a stray dog;
    To watch a spider build a web;
    To smile at a child;
    Or to read a few lines from a good book.
    Remind me each day
    That the race is not always to the swift;
    That there is more to life
    Than increasing its speed.
    Let me look upward
    Into the branches of the towering oak
    And know that it grew great and strong
    Because it grew slowly and well.
    Slow me down, Lord,
    And inspire me to send my roots deep
    Into the soil of life's enduring values
    That I may grow toward the stars
    Of my greater destiny.

    Bruce Barton
    Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance

    Make me strong in spirit,

    Let me act in wisdom,
    Conquer my fear and doubt,
    Discover my own hidden gifts,

    Meet others with compassion,
    Be a source of healing energies,
    And face each day with hope and joy.

    Sunlight filtering in my window ---
    Chasing the night shadows away ---
    The dawning of a new day.

    A day in which I may enjoy to the fullest
    God’s splendor in creation ---
    How marvelous are His works!

    The calming breeze
    Blowing upon my face ---
    The peaceful sounds
    Of the ocean waves lapping against the shore.

    The beauty of a mountaintop ---
    Looking out over endless expansion of earth and sky.
    A brighter horizon ---

    Oh, what a glorious day it is!
    For my God has thus made it for me to behold
    The wonders of His hand ---
    CROWNING TOUCHES of His everlasting love.

    Oh my God,
    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.
    Give to my efforts success

    It is Your work, without You I can not succeed.
    Grant that the sick You have placed
    in my care may be blessed,
    and not any one be lost
    because of neglect on my part.
    Help me to overcome every temporal weakness,
    and strengthen in me whatever will enable me to
    bring joy to the lives of those I serve.
    Give me grace for the sake of Your sick ones
    and of those lives that will be influenced by them.
    Amen

    Oh, holy night

    fill with silence

    that I might hear

    that which is not spoken

    by human voices...Sharon Ann Reigh-Gray



    What we are today

    comes from

    our thoughts of yesterday,

    and our present thoughts

    build our life

    of tomorrow:

    Our life is the creation of our mind...The Buddha



    No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted...French Proverb



    Our Father in heaven, look upon the anointed face of Jesus, and look upon us only as found in Him.Look not upon our misusing of Thy Grace. Amen



    Lord, we thank Thee for this place in which we dwell;

    For the love that unites us;

    For the peace accorded us this day;

    For the hope with which we expect the morrow;

    For the health,the work,the food,

    And the bright skies that make our lives delightful;

    For our friends in all parts of the earth.

    Special prayers for Sherry and her sister



    O God, help me to remember at this moment that I have a great deal to be thankful for. I am grateful for the wisdom of the physician, and the skill of the surgeon, and the art of the anesthetist, and the kindness of the nurses. I am grateful for the merciful oblivion which anesthetics bring. Help me to be calm and relaxed, trusting the surgeon, and the skill you gave her, and trusting you. And make me quite sure that, whatever happens, nothing can separate me from your love in Christ Jesus, my Lord.Amen



    Let me pray Jesus' own prayer: Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. (Luke 23:46) Amen.



    Love and warm thoughts. MJB

    The Light of God surrounds me.
    The Love of God enfolds me.
    ‘The Power of God protects me.
    The Presence of God watches over me.
    The mind of God guides me.
    The Life of God flows through me.
    The Laws of God direct me.
    The Power of God abides within me
    The Joy of God uplifts me.
    The Strength of God renews me.
    The Beauty of God inspires me.
    Wherever I am, God is!"

    And so it is!

    James Dillet Freeman wrote this poem in the 1940'at war time for the soldiers..This poem was taken to the moon by two astonauts who arrived home safe and sound... May it bring comfort to anyone reading it tonight..xoxo,Patti
