Oh, Lord, I thank you for the privilege and gift
of living in a world filled with beauty and excitement
and variety.

I thank you for the gift of loving and being loved,
for the friendliness and understanding and beauty
of the animals on the farm and in the forest and marshes, for the green of the trees, the sound of the waterfall, the darting beauty of the trout in the brook.

I thank you for the delights of music and children,
of other people's thoughts and conversation
and their books to read by the fireside or
in bed with the rain falling on the roof
or the snow blowing past outside the window.

A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE
G.C. Lichtenberg

This is not the day you quit. This is not the day you cry. This is the day you stare down every naysayer in your life who doesn't get it yet. Because you do . Finally . And now you know that faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
This is the day you shout , "I Believe!"Keep on shouting it until you're hoarse . No more muttering under your breath.I believe we have two lives , "THE LIFE WE LEARN WITH AND THE LIFE WE LIVE AFTER THAT."

Goodnight my friends the good life is waiting for us -----here and now .

Marsha I bet it was a beautiful sight to see the lone yellow candle in a sea of navy . When I read the post it sent a shiver down my spine , it was so beautiful to read . The Lord works in mysterious ways , you are probably right , he is showing us how special we are to him. Thank You so much for keeping the candle burning and may God Bless you and your family on this American Thanksgiving Day .
Your Canadian BC Sister MJB

Dec. 1/03

December's gifts ....custom,ceremony,celebration,consecration....come to us wrapped up, not in tissus and ribbons , but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles . The oil that burns for eight days , the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of light on the longest,darkest night of the year . Where there is Love , there are always miracles . And where there are miracles , there is great joy . Gratefully we weave the golden thread of Joy into our tapestry of contentment . Days we call common , we now call holy.

Enjoy this evening with the ones you love . MJB


Dec. 04/03 MJB

Sorry ladies I had computer problems last night and couldn't get into the Internet so double prayers tonight .

I pray for our friend and sister Catherine . God , in your infinite wisdom please put Catherine in the position for which she has applied . From The book of Proverbs 13:19 , A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul.

Caro I would like to share this with you , you are not alone with the depression you are feeling . Some nights waves of weariness and depression washes over me threatening to erode my best defenses. I need someone to throw me a life line , when these nights come I have found refuge in a very comforting prayer ;
All shall be well,
And all shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well.
The simple affirmation of faith is especially comforting .I pray God will give you respite from all your crises .

May God Bless us all everyone .MJB

Ladies I ask for your many beautiful prayers tonight for lisa's(4luvoffriends) friend Jamie , her doctor's prognosis is not good. She is 41 , she and her husband of 21 years have 3 wonderful sons .

My Prayer for Jamie:

Life is a journey , a pilgrimage . We are pathfinders and pilgrims .We are also women of spirit and substance , we are seekers of the Sacred in the ordinary , the Mystical in the madness . The Holy Mysteries of the mundane .

Sometimes the terrain is rocky and the slopes steep. Sometimes the water is deep and the waves extremely rough .But you won't be alone . Someone who loves you unconditionally is at the helm .Divine Love sustains you , surrounds you, enfolds you , protects you .Surrender suffering , sorrow , pain. Ask to be surprised by Joy .Open your arms as wide as you can to receive all the miracles with your name on them. First we have to believe, and then we believe . Blessings on your courage Jamie .

To all my wonderful Sisters I ask God for rest , comfort , love and grace . Goodnight MJB


Dec. 11/03 MJB

Let's meditate on health today . We can't buy good health , no matter how much money we have . Health is a priceless gift from the Spirit that most of us take for granted until we become sick . Health is not just the absence of sickness, good health is vitality, vigor and physical endurance . These are the gifts to pray for . Thank the Spirit for the health you enjoy and ask for more .Oh beloved Spirit , truly you have given us so much , we pray for one thing more . The gift of grateful hearts , hearts that will not forget what you have done . Goodnight MJB

Prayers for the husbands and children of BC wives and mothers .

Rest well tonight , MJB


Dec. 16/03 MJB

In a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair , no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world , through her work , a portion of its lost heart .

SIMPLE GIFTS
'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that's right
'Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight.

Goodnight and rest well . MJB

Dec. 17/03 MJB

Bless a thing and it will bless you.

I think I should have no other mortal wants , if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on withour effort, when I am filled with music. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a song .

Dec. 30 &31/03

The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of a woman.
Let's choose today to quench our thirst for "the good life" we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our own lives .

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
Dream beautiful dreams , our dreams are Divine stores that reveal where we've been and why , where we're headed , and the easiest way to get there . Goodnight , be safe , go well. MJB

Jan.06/04 MJB

Grace fills empty spaces , but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it , and it is grace itself which makes this void . More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Everyday life is the prayer .
Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell ;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
Be safe. Go well. MJB

Jan. 7/04 MJB

Jan.05/04 MJB

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
Dream beautiful dreams , our dreams are Divine stores that reveal where we've been and why , where we're headed , and the easiest way to get there . Goodnight , be safe , go well. MJB

Jan.06/04 MJB

Grace fills empty spaces , but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it , and it is grace itself which makes this void . More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Everyday life is the prayer .
Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell ;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
Be safe. Go well. MJB

Jan. 7/04 MJB

Dreams are illustrations......from the book your soul is writing about you .

Dear Patti : It is so wonderful to hear from you , we were all so worried . I wish you and your family a Happy 2004 , good riddance to 2003 . Be safe . Go well MJB

Oh, Lord, I thank you for the privilege and gift
of living in a world filled with beauty and excitement
and variety.

I thank you for the gift of loving and being loved,
for the friendliness and understanding and beauty
of the animals on the farm and in the forest and marshes, for the green of the trees, the sound of the waterfall, the darting beauty of the trout in the brook.

I thank you for the delights of music and children,
of other people's thoughts and conversation
and their books to read by the fireside or
in bed with the rain falling on the roof
or the snow blowing past outside the window.

A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE
G.C. Lichtenberg

This is not the day you quit. This is not the day you cry. This is the day you stare down every naysayer in your life who doesn't get it yet. Because you do . Finally . And now you know that faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
This is the day you shout , "I Believe!"Keep on shouting it until you're hoarse . No more muttering under your breath.I believe we have two lives , "THE LIFE WE LEARN WITH AND THE LIFE WE LIVE AFTER THAT."

Goodnight my friends the good life is waiting for us -----here and now .

MJB


Nov. 27/03 MJB

Thank You so much for keeping the candle burning and may God Bless you and your family on this American Thanksgiving Day .

December's gifts ....custom,ceremony,celebration,consecration....come to us wrapped up, not in tissus and ribbons , but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles . The oil that burns for eight days , the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of light on the longest,darkest night of the year . Where there is Love , there are always miracles . And where there are miracles , there is great joy . Gratefully we weave the golden thread of Joy into our tapestry of contentment . Days we call common , we now call holy.

Enjoy this evening with the ones you love . MJB

Sorry ladies I had computer problems last night and couldn't get into the Internet so double prayers tonight .

I pray for our friend and sister Catherine . God , in your infinite wisdom please put Catherine in the position for which she has applied . From The book of Proverbs 13:19 , A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul.

Caro I would like to share this with you , you are not alone with the depression you are feeling . Some nights waves of weariness and depression washes over me threatening to erode my best defenses. I need someone to throw me a life line , when these nights come I have found refuge in a very comforting prayer ;
All shall be well,
And all shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well.
The simple affirmation of faith is especially comforting .I pray God will give you respite from all your crises .

May God Bless us all everyone .MJB


My Prayer for Jamie:

Life is a journey , a pilgrimage . We are pathfinders and pilgrims .We are also women of spirit and substance , we are seekers of the Sacred in the ordinary , the Mystical in the madness . The Holy Mysteries of the mundane .

Sometimes the terrain is rocky and the slopes steep. Sometimes the water is deep and the waves extremely rough .But you won't be alone . Someone who loves you unconditionally is at the helm .Divine Love sustains you , surrounds you, enfolds you , protects you .Surrender suffering , sorrow , pain. Ask to be surprised by Joy .Open your arms as wide as you can to receive all the miracles with your name on them. First we have to believe, and then we believe . Blessings on your courage Jamie .

To all my wonderful Sisters I ask God for rest , comfort , love and grace . Goodnight MJB

Dec. 16/03 MJB

In a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair , no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world , through her work , a portion of its lost heart .

SIMPLE GIFTS
'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that's right
'Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight.

Goodnight and rest well . MJB

Bless a thing and it will bless you.

I think I should have no other mortal wants , if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on withour effort, when I am filled with music. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a song .
Sit back ladies put on your favorite CD and relax, get in touch with the silence inside yourself . Be safe , Go well. MJB

Dec. 30 &31/03

The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of a woman.
Let's choose today to quench our thirst for "the good life" we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our own lives .
We can then offer the Universe the gift of our grateful hearts .
I pray you have a restful evening and may God hear each and every prayer .


Thank you Marsha for your kind words , I'm happy to do it for everyone fighting for their lives . I pray for a cure every night , I lost both my parents to this dreadful disease .May God Bless . MJB

I think I should have no other mortal wants , if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on withour effort, when I am filled with music. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a song .
Sit back ladies put on your favorite CD and relax, get in touch with the silence inside yourself . Be safe , Go well. MJB

The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of a woman.
Let's choose today to quench our thirst for "the good life" we think others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our own lives .
We can then offer the Universe the gift of our grateful hearts .
I pray you have a restful evening and may God hear each and every prayer .


Thank you Marsha for your kind words , I'm happy to do it for everyone fighting for their lives . I pray for a cure every night , I lost both my parents to this dreadful disease .May God Bless . MJB

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
Dream beautiful dreams , our dreams are Divine stores that reveal where we've been and why , where we're headed , and the easiest way to get there . Goodnight , be safe , go well. MJB

Jan.06/04 MJB

Grace fills empty spaces , but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it , and it is grace itself which makes this void . More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Everyday life is the prayer .
Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell ;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
Be safe. Go well. MJB

Jan. 7/04 MJB

Hi Catherine did you get the job you went for? Keep us posted .

Caro where are you haven't heard from you lately , hope thing are good .

Stories are medicine ...They have such power; they do not require that we do , be , act anything ---we need only listen . The remedies for repair or reclamation of any lost psychic drive are contained in stories.

In a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair , no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world , through her work , a portion of its lost heart .

SIMPLE GIFTS
'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that's right
'Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight.

Goodnight and rest well . MJB

P.S. Tonight I pass it back to Patti, it was a pleasure ladies .

Ladies I wanted to thank all of you for your prayers for me. I had scans and the heart is working at 55%know instead of 40%. Also the tumors in my liver have not grown or change in three months! That in itself is a true miracle! The seven years of being cancer free and then mets have taught me many things and one is to thank the people who have walked this journey with me. SO THANK YOU ALL! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I thank you for the delights of music and children,
of other people's thoughts and conversation
and their books to read by the fireside or
in bed with the rain falling on the roof
or the snow blowing past outside the window.

A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE
G.C. Lichtenberg

This is not the day you quit. This is not the day you cry. This is the day you stare down every naysayer in your life who doesn't get it yet. Because you do . Finally . And now you know that faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
This is the day you shout , "I Believe!"Keep on shouting it until you're hoarse . No more muttering under your breath.I believe we have two lives , "THE LIFE WE LEARN WITH AND THE LIFE WE LIVE AFTER THAT."

Goodnight my friends the good life is waiting for us -----here and now .

December's gifts ....custom,ceremony,celebration,consecration....come to us wrapped up, not in tissus and ribbons , but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles . The oil that burns for eight days , the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of light on the longest,darkest night of the year . Where there is Love , there are always miracles . And where there are miracles , there is great joy . Gratefully we weave the golden thread of Joy into our tapestry of contentment . Days we call common , we now call holy.

Enjoy this evening with the ones you love . MJB

Sorry ladies I had computer problems last night and couldn't get into the Internet so double prayers tonight .

I pray for our friend and sister Catherine . God , in your infinite wisdom please put Catherine in the position for which she has applied . From The book of Proverbs 13:19 , A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul.

Caro I would like to share this with you , you are not alone with the depression you are feeling . Some nights waves of weariness and depression washes over me threatening to erode my best defenses. I need someone to throw me a life line , when these nights come I have found refuge in a very comforting prayer ;
All shall be well,
And all shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well.
The simple affirmation of faith is especially comforting .I pray God will give you respite from all your crises .

May God Bless us all everyone .MJB


My Prayer for Jamie:

Life is a journey , a pilgrimage . We are pathfinders and pilgrims .We are also women of spirit and substance , we are seekers of the Sacred in the ordinary , the Mystical in the madness . The Holy Mysteries of the mundane .

Sometimes the terrain is rocky and the slopes steep. Sometimes the water is deep and the waves extremely rough .But you won't be alone . Someone who loves you unconditionally is at the helm .Divine Love sustains you , surrounds you, enfolds you , protects you .Surrender suffering , sorrow , pain. Ask to be surprised by Joy .Open your arms as wide as you can to receive all the miracles with your name on them. First we have to believe, and then we believe . Blessings on your courage Jamie .

To all my wonderful Sisters I ask God for rest , comfort , love and grace . Goodnight MJB

Bless a thing and it will bless you.

Prayer Chain 1-21 & 1-22-04---Patti
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
--Matthew 6:34--

I found this Prayer on the web,
And it is my prayer for all of us for the NEW YEAR---2004

Hello, God. I called tonight
To talk a little while...
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.

You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own.
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.

Give me faith, Dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.

I thank you, God, for being home
And listening to my call;
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.

Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.

So thank-you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good-night, God. I love You, too.
And I'll call again tomorrow!

This is the day you shout , "I Believe!"Keep on shouting it until you're hoarse . No more muttering under your breath.I believe we have two lives , "THE LIFE WE LEARN WITH AND THE LIFE WE LIVE AFTER THAT."

Goodnight my friends the good life is waiting for us -----here and now .

Thank You so much for keeping the candle burning and may God Bless you and your family on this American Thanksgiving Day .

Dec. 1/03

December's gifts ....custom,ceremony,celebration,consecration....come to us wrapped up, not in tissus and ribbons , but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles . The oil that burns for eight days , the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of light on the longest,darkest night of the year . Where there is Love , there are always miracles . And where there are miracles , there is great joy . Gratefully we weave the golden thread of Joy into our tapestry of contentment . Days we call common , we now call holy.

Enjoy this evening with the ones you love . MJB

Sorry ladies I had computer problems last night and couldn't get into the Internet so double prayers tonight .

I pray for our friend and sister Catherine . God , in your infinite wisdom please put Catherine in the position for which she has applied . From The book of Proverbs 13:19 , A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul.

Caro I would like to share this with you , you are not alone with the depression you are feeling . Some nights waves of weariness and depression washes over me threatening to erode my best defenses. I need someone to throw me a life line , when these nights come I have found refuge in a very comforting prayer ;
All shall be well,
And all shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well.
The simple affirmation of faith is especially comforting .I pray God will give you respite from all your crises .

May God Bless us all everyone .MJB


My Prayer for Jamie:

Life is a journey , a pilgrimage . We are pathfinders and pilgrims .We are also women of spirit and substance , we are seekers of the Sacred in the ordinary , the Mystical in the madness . The Holy Mysteries of the mundane .

Sometimes the terrain is rocky and the slopes steep. Sometimes the water is deep and the waves extremely rough .But you won't be alone . Someone who loves you unconditionally is at the helm .Divine Love sustains you , surrounds you, enfolds you , protects you .Surrender suffering , sorrow , pain. Ask to be surprised by Joy .Open your arms as wide as you can to receive all the miracles with your name on them. First we have to believe, and then we believe . Blessings on your courage Jamie .

To all my wonderful Sisters I ask God for rest , comfort , love and grace . Goodnight MJB

Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you...If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you , and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out , if you sincerely bless it .After accepting our present circumstances , no matter what they are , we must learn to bless them .
Blessed be the night for all my sisters . MJB

I think I should have no other mortal wants , if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on withour effort, when I am filled with music. No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a song .
Sit back ladies put on your favorite CD and relax, get in touch with the silence inside yourself . Be safe , Go well. MJB

The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of a woman.

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
Dream beautiful dreams , our dreams are Divine stores that reveal where we've been and why , where we're headed , and the easiest way to get there . Goodnight , be safe , go well. MJB

Jan.06/04 MJB

Grace fills empty spaces , but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it , and it is grace itself which makes this void . More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Everyday life is the prayer .
Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell ;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.
Be safe. Go well. MJB

Hi Catherine did you get the job you went for? Keep us posted .

Caro where are you haven't heard from you lately , hope thing are good .

Stories are medicine ...They have such power; they do not require that we do , be , act anything ---we need only listen . The remedies for repair or reclamation of any lost psychic drive are contained in stories.
Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help you with what you are doing.Be safe . Go well . MJB

Jan. 13/04 MJB

In a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair , no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world , through her work , a portion of its lost heart .

SIMPLE GIFTS
'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that's right
'Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight.

Goodnight and rest well . MJB

We are favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal our affliction . We ask of God , the cure of the sickness of our BC Sisters . Aided in this way by his powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen

We say this prayer this evening for our sisters on our board and for ladies who suffer from Cancer all around the world .Be safe. Go well. MJB

With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving , still pursuing ,
Learn to labor and to wait .

Be safe. Go well.MJB

Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,
Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

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

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

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

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

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

In the name of Jesus I pray.

Amen.2-6-04..Have a nice weekend ladies!!!

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

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

Bless the efforts of my physicians;

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

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

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

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

May The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you.
Anonymous

Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,
Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

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

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

May the stars carry your sadness away,

May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,

May hope forever wipe away your tears,

And, above all, may silence make you strong.

Dance

As though no one is watching you.

Love

as though you have never been hurt before.

Sing

as though no one can hear you.

Live

as though heaven is here on earth---------.Author unknown

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."
