    Please send your prayers and good thoughts to Saint.  I have gathered from another thread that she is not doing well.  Thank you sisters.  Together we are strong.

    Hi arnie,

    Your last poem is still in my mind.  You give so much to us.  We are women sharing our innermost thoughts and I am grateful to all of you.

    For Saint

    He Knows

    He knows each tear you cry

    and He knows the reason why.

    He knows each smile that you

    share and He knows every-time you care.

    He knows when your sad or blue and He'll

    always see you threw.

    He knows to be cheery and bright

    helps to show another He's light.

    He knows when you sing a song,

    it will help another along.

    He knows everything that you do,

    and He cares very much about you.

    Love can be special,

    Love can be true.

    But love is much better,

    When it begins with you.

    Just alittle Faith

    Just alittle faith made the blind man see,

    Just alittle faith can do the same for you and me.

    Just alittle faith can help you each and everyday,

    Just alittle faith and you'll never lose your way.

    So have just alittle faith when things go wrong,

    and you'll find yourself sing a beautiful song.

    Saint!  So glad you are well and able to post.  I have been ill myself and hopefully am on the mend.  I spent the month of June in the hospital, had to have an open decortication of my right lung and was on home IV for 16 days.  We do what we have to do, but we are here.  Bless the rest of you sisters for your good thoughts and prayers.  Onward and upward!

    Hugs to all,

    Nancy

    P.S.  I forgot to thank you footprintangel for keeping things going.

    Something I scribbled long ago.. This thread is making me dig out everything LOL...I am loving my work and have got adjusted to the changed schedule now.

    I have missed you ladies. You are such wonderful writers and more than that .. your words are simple and touch my heart.   

    Smile your life away....

    If you aren't happy and feel depressed

    Try to laugh amidst your big problem

    There are many things for which joy can be expressed

    Many things of smile are an emblem

      

    Look away when someone stares with rage

    Turn deaf ears to someone abusing you

    Take every frustration with calmness of sage

    Just for the sake of smiling; smile all life through

      

    Realize life cannot consist of only pleasures

    Its needs to have its own share of strife too

    Why not find the in-hidden treasures

    Why not be satisfied with God's gift to you

      

    Do not be scared of trouble's slimy hands

    Shed not even a drop of tear

    Against time not even the cruelest stands

    When God is our protector; then why fear?

      

    Do not be always receiving from everyone

    Remember, there is joy in giving too

    From right path be distracted by none

    Be happy if you harm no one and are true

      

    Do not feel sad if you have no wealth

    Do the happily chirping birds possess money???

    Great wealth is your happiness and good health

    And wealth is your words, if sweet as honey

      

    Be happy for you know not death's pace of creeping

    Laugh as you know not when life declines

    Life when it came to you had found you weeping

    So shouldn't death find you in all smiles?

    I awake again in disbelief
    surely it cannot be so

    my veggie status i must forego

    Will this journey ever truly end? 

    Will my heart ever mend?

    I know I only have two more chemo's to go..

    Then radiation, this I know...

    But, will this journey ever end?

    Will my heart mend?

    Some journeys are harder than others

    Hope and pray everyday for one another

    For these tough times to make amends

    If you ever wonder

    How many times

    Your heart can be

    broken........

    I'll tell you

    It's as many times

    As you allow it to

    love........

    No matter what

    Kind of safeguard

    What kind of shield

    beware........

    Love will find

    A crack in your defenses

    And seep slowly

    out........

    Try as you might

    The trickle becomes a stream

    Swelling into a

    river........

    Of tears shed

    When you realize

    You had no protection, no

    guarantees........

    Because your heart

    Was too big to close tight

    Too soft to turn away, too easy to

    love.

     A TRUE FRIEND

    When trouble strikes a blow

    Downwards when my spirits flow

    My progress limps on very slow

    And I find myself in dumps deep and low

    Suddenly when I am at a dead end

    A pat on my back says, be brave my friend

    That pat is from my friend in need

    A true friend who stands by me in trouble is my friend indeed...........

    Hey Farila,

    I was just thinking of you!  You give all of us that pat on the back.

    Mazy, you sure are right about the unpleasant journeys.  I am hoping one day we can all be at that place where we look back and see that we have covered the distance but have finally arrived.

    Arnie, I am praying God gives you strength and courage for what you and others are going through.  I figure if God wouldn't take the cup from Jesus, He won't take this from us but He will be there every step of the way to hold us up.

    Apple, you make me laugh and we so need that!

    I wish all of you ladies a wonderful Thursday and help from the least expected place.  I am very glad we have found each other.

    Anyone heard from Saint?  Hope she is well.

    Love bunches,

    Nancy

    Hi Ladies!

    I know some of you know this but I just want to mention that Farila needs our thoughts and prayers as she is waiting for results.  Let's pray that they are B9. 

    Our love to you Farila,

    Nancy
