    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







    For all that has been—Thanks.

    To all that shall be—Yes.

    To say Yes to life is at one and the same time

    to say Yes to oneself.

    Yes—even to the element in one which is most unwilling

    to let itself be transformed from a temptation into a strength.

    To be free, to be able to stand up and

    leave everything behind—without looking back.

    To say Yes.



    — Dag Hammarskjord

    It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

    Lights of peace become circles of peace.

    Circles of peace become communities of peace.

    Communities of peace become a peaceful world community."

    Bob Stewart

Where decisions are needed please guide us..Where uncertainty plagues us please remind us to trust in you and ourselves....ox,Patti





    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

    Quote:

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



    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

    Let him pray now that never prayed before,

    And him that prayed before but pray the more.



    Never deprive anyone of hope…it might be all they have.



    — Author unknownA Prayer in Time of Need



    O Loving Lord, these days I often think of your words: "ASK, and you shall receive; Seek, and you shall fine; Knock , and it shall be opened to you."(John 11:9).





    In illness and pain, during moments of anxiety, weakness, and discouragement, I turn to You, Helper of the helpless. You know my every need, but since You said to Ask, Seek, and Knock, I beg You for these very special graces;





    Patience to endure suffering,





    Courage to accept whatever comes today,





    Peace of mind and heart,





    Trust in your loving care and those who minister for you,





    Gratitude for the gift of Your love and compassion,





    Wisdom to use these days of illness to come closer to You who suffered.





    Comfort in the knowledge that I am not alone ;You are with me.



    St. Cyril of Alexandria - quoted in Special Prayers

    Todays prayers are offered for Pam's mom Jeanette who needs our prayers...Also we pray for Pam who has an appointment with the oncologist today.. ..She was diagnosed with BC in December... Praying for clean margins

    @

    Lord Jesus,

    I give you my hands to do your work.

    I give you my feet to go your way.

    I give you my eyes to see as you see.

    I give you my tongue to speak your words.

    I give you my mind to think as you think.

    I give you my spirit so that you may pray in me.

    I give you myself so that you may grow in me

    so that it is you, Lord Jesus, who lives and works and prays in me.

    Amen.

    Quote:

    If I were to say, ''God, why me?'' about the bad things, then I should have said, ''God, why me?'' about the good things that happened in my life.
    Arthur Ashe






    All I Could Ever Need
    I cannot see where I'm going
    But only where I've been
    I cannot tell what may come
    For my life changes as the wind.

    But I know God can see
    What I may never know
    He guides my life each day
    And directs me where to go.

    Sometimes it's hard to trust
    A hand I cannot see
    Though faithfully He brings
    All that I could ever need.

    We are having a beautiful sunny day here , what a day for a walk . Where ever you are come on lace on those sneakers and lets go,go,go .
    For each one of us there is a road to travel .A star to discover . A being within ourselves to bring to life . Everyone still in PJ's and in the recliner lets move it .

    More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Because it's not good for women to be silent , we need to get real life off our chests . We can't do that when we're stuck, and women do get stuck , a self destructive holding pattern . Women pray because we need to talk to someone who's really listening . Today I ask each and everyone to come to this post and talk out loud , we would love to hear your silent conversations .

    Please pray for all on our prayer list...Sunshine-STacy-FighterLU-LUANN,Judy62-Arleen,Kathy 2004's mom Jo,

    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.

    I wish you peace my friends may the Grace of God give you comfort .

    Jesus said , "NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU ; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU ." (HEBREWS 13:5)
    No day is complete without worship .
    Love and warm thoughts.MJB

    Lord Jesus,

    I give you my hands to do your work.

    I give you my feet to go your way.

    I give you my eyes to see as you see.

    I give you my tongue to speak your words.

    I give you my mind to think as you think.

    I give you my spirit so that you may pray in me.

    I give you myself so that you may grow in me

    so that it is you, Lord Jesus, who lives and works and prays in me.

    Amen.

    -From Manual of Prayers



    Today prayer is for Pam the shop momma and her mom and NY Janet's SIL---



    I was so weary,

    so tired of the fight.

    I hadn't any strength left,

    I had no relief in sight.



    I could not continue on.

    The pain was to much to endure.

    Then I realized Jesus was there

    and in His hands, He held the cure.



    At my lowest valley

    He met me there,

    so that through the darkness

    He could show me He cares.



    He holds my hand

    and guides me along.

    He gives me the strength

    to keep me strong.



    He puts a rainbow at the end

    of the tunnel just in sight

    so that through the dark shadows

    I could see His shining light.

    Today's prayer's are for Pam the shop momma and her mom and NY Janet's SIL and Marissa and all of the women who frequent BC>Org and their families...



    "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.

    Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let

    your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid--

    stop allowing yourself to be disturbed; and do not

    permit yourself to be fearful and unsettled."





    --John 14:27 (Amplified Bible)




    Dear Lord Father of all we pray....We pray for your blessing to start our day... .Please guide us and give us strength to face the challenges of today.. Comfort and renew us in our times of sorrow and despair........ Grant your grace and healing on us..Remind us that each new day is a fresh start regardless of how difficult the day before might have been.. Open our minds and our hearts and our whole being of awareness to your healing presence, as we seek ways to walk together on our journey through life... We pray for wisdom ,knowledge,patience,compassion and love to be part of our daily life...We pray for one another...........



    You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.



    James Allen







    Todays-- Quote Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it.

    A MORNING PRAYER-By E. Hardt

    Now I wake up from the night

    And thank the Lord for morning light.

    He'll be with me through the day,

    In my work and in my play,

    In the sunshine, in the rain,

    In His presence I remain.

    AMEN.

    Lord we give you thanks for our food today especially for our spiritual food...Without that we could not have fuel enough to face the day...xoxo,Patti

    Todays Quote ---Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. --Helen Keller



    GIVING THANKS FOR OUR FOOD. --E.Hardt

    God is great, and God is good.

    And we thank Him for our food.

    By His hand we all are fed,

    Give us, Lord, our daily bread.



    Take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.











    I was so weary,

    so tired of the fight.

    I hadn't any strength left,

    I had no relief in sight.



    I could not continue on.

    The pain was to much to endure.

    Then I realized Jesus was there

    and in His hands, He held the cure.



    At my lowest valley

    He met me there,

    so that through the darkness

    He could show me He cares.



    He holds my hand

    and guides me along.

    He gives me the strength

    to keep me strong.



    He puts a rainbow at the end

    of the tunnel just in sight

    so that through the dark shadows

    I could see His shining light.

    This prayer was written by Father Larry Hess when he was struggling with cancer..


    I call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live
    under your power.

    Father, I ask you now to touch me with that same power. For if you created me from nothing, you can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
    Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what
    is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any
    blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas.
    Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

    Let the warmth of your healing love pass through my body
    to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will
    function the way you created it to function.

    And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so
    that I may serve you the rest of my life.

    I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen


    Today's prayer's are for Pam the shop momma and her mom and NY Janet's SIL and Marissa and all of the women who frequent BC>Org and their families...

    "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.
    Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let
    your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid--
    stop allowing yourself to be disturbed; and do not
    permit yourself to be fearful and unsettled."


    --John 14:27 (Amplified Bible)

    Dear Lord Father of all we pray....We pray for your blessing to start our day... .Please guide us and give us strength to face the challenges of today.. Comfort and renew us in our times of sorrow and despair........ Grant your grace and healing on us..Remind us that each new day is a fresh start regardless of how difficult the day before might have been.. Open our minds and our hearts and our whole being of awareness to your healing presence, as we seek ways to walk together on our journey through life... We pray for wisdom ,knowledge,patience,compassion and love to be part of our daily life...We pray for one another...........

    You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

    James Allen



    Todays-- Quote Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it.
    A MORNING PRAYER-By E. Hardt
    Now I wake up from the night
    And thank the Lord for morning light.
    He'll be with me through the day,
    In my work and in my play,
    In the sunshine, in the rain,
    In His presence I remain.
    AMEN.
    Lord we give you thanks for our food today especially for our spiritual food...Without that we could not have fuel enough to face the day...xoxo,Patti
    Todays Quote ---Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. --Helen Keller

    GIVING THANKS FOR OUR FOOD. --E.Hardt
    God is great, and God is good.
    And we thank Him for our food.
    By His hand we all are fed,
    Give us, Lord, our daily bread.

    Take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.





    I was so weary,
    so tired of the fight.
    I hadn't any strength left,
    I had no relief in sight.

    I could not continue on.
    The pain was to much to endure.
    Then I realized Jesus was there
    and in His hands, He held the cure.

    At my lowest valley
    He met me there,
    so that through the darkness
    He could show me He cares.

    He holds my hand
    and guides me along.
    He gives me the strength
    to keep me strong.

    He puts a rainbow at the end
    of the tunnel just in sight
    so that through the dark shadows
    I could see His shining light.

    Quote:

    Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
    ~ Matthew 6:32-34

    But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
    ~ Isaiah 40:31

    Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
    ~ Matthew 7:7

    Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
    ~ 1 Peter 5:7

    I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.
    ~ Psalm 32:8

    “Troubles surround me-too many to count! They pile up so high I can’t see my way out. They are more numerous than the hairs on my head. I have lost all my courage. Please, Lord, rescue me!” Psalm 40: 12-13. “He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.”

    Psalm 40:2



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



    This prayer was written by Father Larry Hess when he was struggling with cancer..


    I call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live
    under your power.

    Father, I ask you now to touch me with that same power. For if you created me from nothing, you can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
    Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what
    is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any
    blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas.
    Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

    Let the warmth of your healing love pass through my body
    to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will
    function the way you created it to function.

    And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so
    that I may serve you the rest of my life.

    I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

    permit yourself to be fearful and unsettled."

    Recharge Prayer--Ruth Bell Graham
    Lord when my soul is weary and my heart is tired and sore,
    and I have that failing feeling that I cant take anymore then let me know the freshening found in simple child like prayer..when the kneeling sould knows surely that a listening God is there...

    Mathew 15 ;27 Take courage..It is I...Do not be afraid..

    Our hope in difficult times is not based on positive thinking...wishful thinking...or natural optimism.....It is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and he loves us.....Excerpt from the purpose driven life


    From the inside of a Greeting Card.....May you find hope in knowing that the LORD is in control of your life and is tenderly taking care of you....May you find rest in His GREAT UNENDING LOVE FOR YOU>>>>>

    God comforts us in our troubles so that we can comfort others..When others are troubled we will be able to give them the same comfort God had given us..CORR>>NLT 1:4 ..

    Dear Lord, We place ourselves in your care today..In Your loving arms and sacred heart... Please ease our
    doubts, deepen our faith and trust, calm our fears, touch
    our aches and pains,heal our hearts,

    Celtic prayers have their roots in nature, the seasons, the elements and the beauty of the world around us.
    Here is a lovely old Irish Blessing by an unknown author, highlighting the reverence of light, the sun, etc:


    “May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within.

    May the blessed sunlight shine upon you and warm your heart till it glows,
    Like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come
    and warm himself at it, as well as the friend.

    And may the light shine out of the eyes of you,
    like a candle set in the windows of a house,
    Bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm.

    And may the blessing of the rain be on you - the soft sweet rain.
    May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up,
    And shed their sweetness on the air.

    And may the blessing of the great rains be on you,
    that they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean,
    and leave there many a shining pool, and sometimes a star.

    And may the blessing of the earth be on you - the great round earth;
    May you ever have a kindly greeting for people you pass
    as you are going along the roads.

    And now may the Lord bless you, and bless you kindly.”

    "For wherever two or more are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
    --Matthew 18:20

    Recharge Prayer--Ruth Bell Graham
    Lord when my soul is weary and my heart is tired and sore,
    and I have that failing feeling that I cant take anymore then let me know the freshening found in simple child like prayer..when the kneeling sould knows surely that a listening God is there...

    Mathew 15 ;27 Take courage..It is I...Do not be afraid..

    Our hope in difficult times is not based on positive thinking...wishful thinking...or natural optimism.....It is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and he loves us.....Excerpt from the purpose driven life


    From the inside of a Greeting Card.....May you find hope in knowing that the LORD is in control of your life and is tenderly taking care of you....May you find rest in His GREAT UNENDING LOVE FOR YOU>>>>>

    God comforts us in our troubles so that we can comfort others..When others are troubled we will be able to give them the same comfort God had given us..CORR>>NLT 1:4 ..

    “Troubles surround me-too many to count! They pile up so high I can’t see my way out. They are more numerous than the hairs on my head. I have lost all my courage. Please, Lord, rescue me!” Psalm 40: 12-13. “He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.”

    Psalm 40:2



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



    This prayer was written by Father Larry Hess when he was struggling with cancer..


    I call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live
    under your power.

    Father, I ask you now to touch me with that same power. For if you created me from nothing, you can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
    Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what
    is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any
    blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas.
    Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

    Let the warmth of your healing love pass through my body
    to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will
    function the way you created it to function.

    And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so
    that I may serve you the rest of my life.

    I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen


    Today's prayer's are for Pam the shop momma and her mom and NY Janet's SIL ,Hippie and her mom and Marissa and all of the women who frequent BC>Org and their families...Pam and her mom Jeanette ====Margaret....Kathy 2004 and her mom...***********NY Janet and her SIl

    "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.
    Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let
    your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid--
    stop allowing yourself to be disturbed; and do not
    permit yourself to be fearful and unsettled."


    --John 14:27 (Amplified Bible)

    Dear Lord Father of all we pray....We pray for your blessing to start our day... .Please guide us and give us strength to face the challenges of today.. Comfort and renew us in our times of sorrow and despair........ Grant your grace and healing on us..Remind us that each new day is a fresh start regardless of how difficult the day before might have been.. Open our minds and our hearts and our whole being of awareness to your healing presence, as we seek ways to walk together on our journey through life... We pray for wisdom ,knowledge,patience,compassion and love to be part of our daily life...We pray for one another...........

    You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

    James Allen



    Todays-- Quote Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it.
    A MORNING PRAYER-By E. Hardt
    Now I wake up from the night
    And thank the Lord for morning light.
    He'll be with me through the day,
    In my work and in my play,
    In the sunshine, in the rain,
    In His presence I remain.
    AMEN.
    Lord we give you thanks for our food today especially for our spiritual food...Without that we could not have fuel enough to face the day...xoxo,Patti
    Todays Quote ---Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. --Helen Keller

    GIVING THANKS FOR OUR FOOD. --E.Hardt
    God is great, and God is good.
    And we thank Him for our food.
    By His hand we all are fed,
    Give us, Lord, our daily bread.

    Take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.





    I was so weary,
    so tired of the fight.
    I hadn't any strength left,
    I had no relief in sight.

    I could not continue on.
    The pain was to much to endure.
    Then I realized Jesus was there
    and in His hands, He held the cure.

    At my lowest valley
    He met me there,
    so that through the darkness
    He could show me He cares.

    He holds my hand
    and guides me along.
    He gives me the strength
    to keep me strong.

    He puts a rainbow at the end
    of the tunnel just in sight
    so that through the dark shadows
    I could see His shining light.

    Quote:

    Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18





    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. 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 who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly. This is my prayer.Amen...xoxo,Patti

    My voice shalt thou hear in the morning.
    O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee,
    and will look up.

    Psalm 5:3


    Look to this day!
    For it is life, the very life of life.
    In its brief course
    Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
    The bliss of growth;
    The glory of action;
    The splendor of achievement;
    For yesterday is but a dream,
    And tomorrow is only a vision;
    But today, well lived, makes every yesterday
    a dream of happiness,
    And every tomorrow a vision of hope. --Attributed to Kalidasa

    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





    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.

    Author unknown



    Dear Lord we know that everything is possible with your guidance.We pray to you today and ask you to hear our prayers.May we all have peace in our life and hope in our hearts.xoxo,Patti

    I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end… I know that You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I trust You always. I will not fear, for You are with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. Thomas Merton #####xoxo,Patti

    May you find peace,comfort,love and serenity today..

    God, Grant me the Serenity

    To accept the things I cannot change,

    Courage to change the things I can,

    and Wisdom to know the difference.



    "Let the beauty you love be what you do.



    There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth." -Rumi

    _____________________________________________________

    Quote:

    Oh Infinite Star Giver

    I now ask for wisdom and courage

    to follow these stars

    for their names are many

    and my heart is fearful...



    They shine on me wherever I go:

    The Star of Hope

    The Star of Mercy and Compassion

    The Star of Justice and Peace

    The Star of Tenderness and Love

    The Star of Suffering

    The Star of Joy

    And every time I feel the shine



    I am called

    to follow it

    to sing it

    to live it.

    Author: Macrina Wiederkehr








    Dear Lord we know that everything is possible with your guidance.We pray to you today and ask you to hear our prayers.May we all have peace in our life and hope in our hearts.xoxo,Patti



    I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end… I know that You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I trust You always. I will not fear, for You are with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. Thomas Merton #####xoxo,Patti



    Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    Lord please help us and guide us

    Lord please bring comfort where there is pain,

    courage where there is fear,

    hope where there is despair,

    acceptance when the end is near,

    and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love



    We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..

    Oh my God,

    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.

    Give to my efforts success

    for the glory of Your Holy Name.

    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

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 --

    To hope is to fly.

    To fly is to dream.

    To dream is to believe.

    To believe is to do.

    To do is to give hope.

    To give hope is to do

    the work of angels.





    The Healing

    Earth awakens

    A new season!

    Given with love

    By a caring heart…



    New Birth beaming

    Right before me,

    Brings to us their

    Healing light !



    Such Tiny breaths

    of fragrance Sweet,

    Abundantly reveal to me

    Warmth, love, comfort and light!

    Bring healing peace…

    Daffodils so Bright!
    Warmth, Friendship,

    Concern, and care,

    Our Father's Love,

    For all to share…



    Delicate blossoms

    slow to unfold

    My spirit is lifted

    Their gracefulness…

    My gift to behold.



    My Heart Opens

    I am filled with peace

    One sister's act of kindness,

    Mirrors Christ's love for me,



    I feel HIS spirit…

    I heal within…



    Oh Blessed Happy Day!!!!!

    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

    A Blessing to Friendship


    Father,
    I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now!

    Lord,
    show them a new revelation of Your love and power.

    Holy Spirit,
    I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.

    Where there is pain,
    give them Your peace and mercy.

    Where there is self-doubting,
    release a renewed confidence in Your ability
    to work through them.

    Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion,
    I ask You to give them understanding, patience,
    and strength as they learn submission to Your leading.

    Where there is spiritual stagnation,
    I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness,
    and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You.

    Where there is fear,
    reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage.

    Where there is a sin blocking them,
    reveal it, and break its holdover my friends' life.

    Bless their finances, give them greater vision,

    Raise up leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them.

    Give each of them discernment
    to recognize the demonic forces around them,
    and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.

    Father, I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name!
    Amen.
    #########################################################
    We ask you to restore faith where faith is weak
    We ask you to restore hope where hope is weak

    Lord please help us and guide us
    Lord please bring comfort where there is pain,
    courage where there is fear,
    hope where there is despair,
    acceptance when the end is near,
    and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love

    We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..
    Oh my God,
    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.
    Give to my efforts success
    for the glory of Your Holy Name.
    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
    We can do no great things, only small things with great love

    May there always be work for your hands to do.
    May your purse always hold a coin or two.
    May the sun always shine on your window pane.
    May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
    May the hand of a friend always be near you.
    May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

    Make me strong in spirit,
    Courageous in action,
    Gentle of heart,

    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.

    An Indian Prayer
    Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
    I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
    Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
    Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
    Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
    Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
    I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy-myself.
    Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame


    Make me strong in spirit,
    Courageous in action,
    Gentle of heart,

    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.
    - Abby Willowroot
    Make Me Strong in Spirit

    Dear God...May angels' wings be lent to me, that I might fly above the noise and turmoil of the world. With every moment's flight may something beautiful be revealed to me, and become a part of who I am. Amen.

    - Marianne Williamson,
    "Illuminated Prayers"
    From Chief Seattle


    May you find peace,comfort,love and serenity today..
    God, Grant me the Serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    and Wisdom to know the difference.

    "Let the beauty you love be what you do.

    There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth." -Rumi

    Dear Lord we know that everything is possible with your guidance.We pray to you today and ask you to hear our prayers.May we all have peace in our life and hope in our hearts.xoxo,Patti

    I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end… I know that You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I trust You always. I will not fear, for You are with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. Thomas Merton #####xoxo,Patti

    Where are you God?
    I need to know.
    How do I find you?
    Where should I look or go?

    God answered,

    "I am the air and a breeze.
    I am the tall majestic trees.
    I am the west, east, south, and north.
    I am the sky, heaven, and earth.
    I am the bright morning star.
    I am the strength you need when opening a jar.
    I am the enchanting moonlight and radiant sun.
    I am the Almighty One.
    I am the Artist that painted nature's canvas.
    I am the man, woman or child you walk past.
    I am the wind that kisses your cheek.
    I am the creator of the seven days of the week.
    I am the first and the last.
    I am the present and the past.
    I am the breath you take.
    I am the ocean, sea, bay and lake.
    I am the only way.
    I am the night and day.
    I am the truth, life and vine.
    I am the judge of all mankind.
    I am the destructive hurricane and tornado.
    I am the cause of many calamities and fiascos.
    I am the light of the world.
    Did I answer your question my child, my girl?"

    "So, my child, just remember that I am always around.
    And that my greatness and splendor can always be found.
    Spread this revelation and goods news all over town.
    Go and let your poetry be like a trumpet sound."

    --- Copyright © 2004 Monique Nicole Fox
    The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity;

    Earth Prayer
    Standing here together, as one,
    joined by love,
    the many energies of our many selves
    flowing through our fingertips,
    flowing through each other,
    let us feel the holiness of all around us,
    the holiness of this room,
    the holiness of the floor beneath us,
    the stones beneath the floor,
    the earth beneath the stones.
    Let us feel the earth in the stones,
    the earth in the floor,
    the earth in ourselves.
    Let us restore the earth
    in everything we make and do.
    Let us remember the earth
    in everything we are,
    as the earth remembers us
    in everything it is. Scott Owens


    An Indian Prayer
    Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
    I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
    Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
    Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
    Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
    Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
    I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy-myself.
    Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame


    Make me strong in spirit,
    Courageous in action,
    Gentle of heart,

    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.
    - Abby Willowroot
    Make Me Strong in Spirit

    Dear God...May angels' wings be lent to me, that I might fly above the noise and turmoil of the world. With every moment's flight may something beautiful be revealed to me, and become a part of who I am. Amen.

    - Marianne Williamson,
    "Illuminated Prayers"
    From Chief Seattle


    May you find peace,comfort,love and serenity today..
    God, Grant me the Serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    and Wisdom to know the difference.

    "Let the beauty you love be what you do.

    There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth." -Rumi

    Dear Lord we know that everything is possible with your guidance.We pray to you today and ask you to hear our prayers.May we all have peace in our life and hope in our hearts.xoxo,Patti

    I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end… I know that You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I trust You always. I will not fear, for You are with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. Thomas Merton #####xoxo,Patti

    In This Home



    We BELIEVE in living deeply,

    Laughing often and loving always.

    We BELIEVE we were brought together

    To support and care for each other.

    We BELIEVE in celebrating together--

    Our faith, our heritage, our traditions.

    We BELIEVE that everyone's feelings count,

    And that the uniqueness of each of us

    Strengthens all of us.

    We BELIEVE

    In the power of forgiveness to heal

    And the power of love

    To carry us through.

    We BELIEVE in one another,

    In this family,

    IN THIS HOME.



    On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him. -buddha



    -Author Unknown



    A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

    -Proverbs 17:22





    We ask you to restore faith where faith is weak

    We ask you to restore hope where hope is weak



    Lord please help us and guide us

    Lord please bring comfort where there is pain,

    courage where there is fear,

    hope where there is despair,

    acceptance when the end is near,

    and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love



    We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..

    Oh my God,

    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.

    Give to my efforts success

    for the glory of Your Holy Name.

    It is Your work, without You I can not succeed.

    Grant that the sick You have placed

    and strengthen in me whatever will enable me to

    bring joy to the lives of those I serve.

    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.

    We BELIEVE in living deeply,
    Laughing often and loving always.
    We BELIEVE we were brought together
    To support and care for each other.
    We BELIEVE in celebrating together--
    Our faith, our heritage, our traditions.
    We BELIEVE that everyone's feelings count,
    And that the uniqueness of each of us
    Strengthens all of us.
    We BELIEVE
    In the power of forgiveness to heal
    And the power of love
    To carry us through.
    We BELIEVE in one another,

    On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him. -buddha

    -Author Unknown

    A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
    -Proverbs 17:22


    We ask you to restore faith where faith is weak
    We ask you to restore hope where hope is weak

    Lord please help us and guide us
    Lord please bring comfort where there is pain,
    courage where there is fear,
    hope where there is despair,
    acceptance when the end is near,
    and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love

    We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..
    Oh my God,
    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.
    Give to my efforts success
    for the glory of Your Holy Name.
    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
    We can do no great things, only small things with great 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.

    Make Me Strong in Spirit





    Make me strong in spirit,

    Courageous in action,

    Gentle of heart,



    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.





    - A. Wilwroot

    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

    Quote:

    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.









    Source unknown






    "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.

    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.

    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.

    Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics



    Think of your fellow man

    lend him a helping hand

    put a little love in your heart.

    You see it's getting late

    oh please don't hesitate

    put a little love in your heart.

    And the world will be a better place

    and the world will be a better place

    for you and me

    you just wait and see











    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





    Quote:

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



    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



    Wilferd A. Peterson.

    Quote:

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

    Make Me Strong in Spirit





    Make me strong in spirit,

    Courageous in action,

    Gentle of heart,



    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.





    - A. Wilwroot





    “The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one’s life.”

    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.”







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







    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.

    A Prayer”
    by Max Ehrmann

    Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair
    overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me
    in the desolation of other times.

    May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over
    the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet
    river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God
    to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.

    Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded
    moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.
    Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be
    such as shall keep me friendly with myself.

    Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the
    stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.
    Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my
    path.

    Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever
    burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.

    And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within
    sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for
    life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and
    may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.
    ###############################################
    Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics

    Think of your fellow man
    lend him a helping hand
    put a little love in your heart.
    You see it's getting late
    oh please don't hesitate
    put a little love in your heart.
    And the world will be a better place
    and the world will be a better place
    for you and me
    you just wait and see
    @

    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


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

    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

    Make Me Strong in Spirit


    Make me strong in spirit,
    Courageous in action,
    Gentle of heart,

    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.

    O Lord, help me to understand

    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.

    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.

    May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.

    May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.

    May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.

    And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

    A Prayer”
    by Max Ehrmann

    Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair
    overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me
    in the desolation of other times.

    May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over
    the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet
    river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God
    to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.

    Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded
    moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.
    Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be
    such as shall keep me friendly with myself.

    Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the
    stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.
    Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my
    path.

    Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever
    burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.

    And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within
    sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for
    life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and
    may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

    Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics

    Think of your fellow man
    lend him a helping hand
    put a little love in your heart.
    You see it's getting late
    oh please don't hesitate
    put a little love in your heart.
    And the world will be a better place
    and the world will be a better place
    for you and me
    you just wait and see

    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.

    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.

    O' Dear God.
    But, I will not sorrow
    I will pause a little while
    And try again tomorrow.
    Anushree Karnani


    O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen.


    - St. Philaret of Moscow

    Christian, Eastern Orthodox



    May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.

    May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.

    May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.

    And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

    A Prayer”
    by Max Ehrmann

    Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair
    overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me
    in the desolation of other times.

    May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over
    the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet
    river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God
    to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.

    Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded
    moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.
    Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be
    such as shall keep me friendly with myself.

    Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the
    stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.
    Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my
    path.

    Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever
    burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.

    And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within
    sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for
    life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and
    may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

    I vow to offer joy

    I vow to live simply and sanely,

    of all worries and anxiety
    in order to be light and free.

    For those who suffer,

    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.

    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.

    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.

    How marvelous are His works!

    The calming breeze

    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 ---

    Most merciful God,

    bless all who have suffered trauma

    in their lives.

    Support them with love

    during their time of shock.

    Grace them with peace

    as they wrestle with the challenges

    of each day.

    Sustain them in hope

    as they prepare for the days ahead.

    Amen.





    Vienna Cobb Anderson |




    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

    they may continue to praise you

    and glorify your name.

    Amen.



    Vienna Cobb Anderson




    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





    O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen.





    - St. Philaret of Moscow



    Christian, Eastern Orthodox





    May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.



    May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.



    May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.



    And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

    ****************************************

    A Prayer”

    by Max Ehrmann



    Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair

    overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me

    in the desolation of other times.



    May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over

    the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet

    river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God

    to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.



    Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded

    moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.

    Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be

    such as shall keep me friendly with myself.



    Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the

    stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.

    Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my

    path.



    Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever

    burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.



    And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within

    sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for

    life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and

    may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

    Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics



    Think of your fellow man

    lend him a helping hand

    put a little love in your heart.

    You see it's getting late

    oh please don't hesitate

    put a little love in your heart.

    And the world will be a better place

    and the world will be a better place

    for you and me

    you just wait and see

    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,

    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.”

    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.

    A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

    -Proverbs 17:22





    We ask you to restore faith where faith is weak

    Lord please help us and guide us

    and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love



    We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..

    Oh my God,

    teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.

    Give to my efforts success

    for the glory of Your Holy Name.

    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

    We can do no great things, only small things with great love

    Special prayers for Tasha and her son Chystian/b]

    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 --

    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

    they may continue to praise you

    and glorify your name.

    Amen. Vienna Cobb Anderson



    The unknown is terrifying,

    responsibility is overwhelming,

    the untapped anger cannot be borne.

    Hear our cry, O God of love,

    for all so trapped in fear.

    Open our hearts to trust

    your presence to guide us

    in the unknown places;

    teach us to know

    you will support us in all

    that we undertake;

    free us to share with you

    the rage within, knowing

    you will never desert us.

    Amen.

    Vienna Cobb Anderson




    May we discover through pain and torment,

    the strength to live with grace and humor.

    May we discover through doubt and anguish,

    the strength to live with dignity and holiness.

    May we discover through suffering and fear,

    the strength to move toward healing.

    May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor.

    May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind.

    And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage

    moments of meaning, opportunities for love

    and the deep and gracious calm that comes

    when we allow ourselves to move on.

    Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro
