*Forever*Rely*On*God*Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here,~we might as well be dancing."Faith is not believing that God can; It's knowing God will!!"Your Prayers Can Change an Orphan’s WorldIS THERE ANY HOPE? *Yes. There is One who infinitely loves each orphan and calls His people to join Him in caring for the fatherless. Each one of us can Show Hope to an orphan. *If only 7% of the 2 billion Christians in the world would show hope to a single orphan, looking after the child in their distress, there would effectively be no more orphans.

Put more laughter into your day."Prayer does not equip us for greater works— prayer is the greater work." - Oswald Chambers *{This poem was one of a very few that was given to my husband & I when two of our four children were terminally ill, and in the hospital at the same time,~by one of the nurses at the hospital}. PLEASE READ ON...POEM BELOW CALLED: ~"GOD's LOAN"~~"GODS LOAN"~ "I'll lend to you for a little time, A child of mine." he said, "For you to love the while he lives And mourn for when he's dead.""It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three. But will you till I call him back, Take care of him for me ?""He'll bring his charms to gladden you And should his stay be brief, You'll have these pecious memories, As solace for your grief.""I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.""I've looked this whole world over, In my search for teachers true. And in the crowds that throng life's land, I have selected you.""Now will you give him all of your love Not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to call To take him back again?"It seems to me I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joys thy child shall bring, The risk of grief we'll run."We'll shelter him with tenderness, We'll love him while we may, And for the happiness we've known Forever grateful stay."And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand."WHEN I SAY I AM A CHRISTIAN When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I am saved." I'm whispering "I was lost!" That is why I chose this way. When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt. When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are all too visible but God believes I'm worth it. When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches which is why I seek His name. When I say..."I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge. I have no authority. I only know I'm loved. Author Unknown"I am not as good as I should be; I am not as good as I could be; but thank God, I am better than I used to be." *When you flee temptation, leave no forwarding address*
My personal Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ, in the air.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
MY "REAL" HEROES are my Heavenly Father, God, and, my personal Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ.
I also dedicate this section to my earthly father & earthly mother,...and all the families before them.
I dedicate this section to my earthly father-in-law & earthly mother-in-law,...and all the families before them.
I dedicate this section to my siblings & their spouses, & their precious children, and to my husband's siblings & their spouses, & their children.
...***We may all have our differences of opinions & different outlooks on life,{where we found ourselves emotionally separated from one another, throughout the years' behind us},~but, no matter what could of divided us from one another after all these years', "I MISS YOU ALL AS HELL, AND, I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH"!!!
Life is tooooooo short, and, after having lose 3 of my own children out of our 4,~I can see life in such a whole different light compared to a decade or so earlier in my life.
Oh sure, my life growing up was dysfunctional,...than again, I believe a majority of American families are. Define normal.
But I have made a decision a long time ago to choose 'how I want to live',~and through many years going through professional counseling,{in which I am extremely grateful to have invested, and, having to have found very supportive counselors, to get me through this difficult journey of mine}. I desire my life to be free from any emotional baggage that I have been carrying on my shoulders & in my heart for such a very long time,{and believe me, it has been a tough & long difficult journey to get to this point in my life}. I choose to 'love' unconditionally, by the grace & mercy of God's love guiding me all the way,{in baby-steps}.
LOVE is a powerful tool,{as well as "Forgiveness"}, & it's very "healing" too.
I thank my Lord that He has placed His people in my life,~knowing I was going to need them to be in my life, to get me through,{by uplifting me in their words of encouragement & prayers'}. I thank God for them. I thank my church families' & Pastor & staff for being their for us.
And now, being an empty-nester parent myself,{as I look back},~I too, have made my own share of mistakes while having & raising our own children,{with my husband,-together}.
I wish for many things that I could do all over again, or, take back, or, better yet, been much wiser in those delicate years while raising up our children.
But, its not ever going to happen. There's nothing I can do to 'fix' what may have been dysfunctional in my own family life,~with our children.
I only pray & hope that they were able to forgive me in my own shortcomings', as a parent & as a human being,{like I have chosen to love, & forgive, any shortcomings in my own childhood years with my folks'}.
I have learned to take any positive & negative experiences' in my growing up years & adult years',~and embrace them as a tool.
I have no hard feelings anymore. It took years for me to learn to release them, and hand them over to God. For we "HAVE NOT, 'CAUSE WE ASK NOT".
I don't want to be bitter. I don't want to be spiteful. I don't want to get even.
I choose 'life'. I choose to 'love'. I choose to 'live', for Him,{for my Heavenly Father}.
I love you Dad & Mom...
I love you, my brothers' & their families'.
Last, but NEVER the least,~my OTHER real heroes' I would also like to dedicate this section to is for my 'husband'
MySpace Countdowns , & our children, and, our grandchildren,{and their folks'}.
FOR ALL WHO I HAD MENTIONED & DIDN'T MENTIONED, THIS IS FOR "YOU":
I love you all...
I love you dearly...
I love you period...
I thank my God for each & every one of you...{'To Everything There Is A Season}.
*I love you.
