There is an answer in every tragedy, we need only be willing to find the question. First we must put aside: anger, self pity, doubt, public opinion, and the loss of what could have been. Once the question is found, it's answer will bring strength and the ability to move forward. Faith brings hope, hope brings possibility, possibility brings achievement. All achievements are little miracles because of the hurdles overcome to get there.

Something to think about, as you start your day.

Shared with love.

Psalms 136:26

Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. Psalms 18:32-34 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

Isaiah 41:10

"And God so loved the peoples of the Earth he sent us His only son, Jesus Christ."

During the Christmas season we celebrate the gift of Love given freely by the creator who sent us His only son even though that son would become the sacrificial lamb of our salvation. It for this reason, that we present each other gifts which represent our love and concern for each other. Although material gifts received are appreciated, my most favorite gift is the time spent with friends and...

 Although many people are injured, become ill or die each day, it becomes especially hard to bear during times of special occasion. So let us all remember those who are struggling with hardship or loss this season. Join your voice with mine asking for comfort, healing, understanding and the renewal of spirit, that they may again find joy and laughter. The sharing of memories is the best way to keep someone in ones heart. For it is the sharing that keeps their energy in the world.

Our prayers are with the family, friends and the world for the loss of Nelson Mandela. May we honor his passing without displays of violenc

Happy Thanksgiving and Hanukkah to all.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, let us all remember that tomorrow is a day for thanks, not arguments and hurtful words. Put aside pride make the first move to mend fences. Family, (weather by birth, adoption, or marriage) is the foundation, upon you are designed. You may find that both sides of the fence have some eye-appeal that may be appreciated by all.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to ALL, and to ALL a good LIFE

This Christmas season is so named for the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ, the only son of the Creator, sent to give His life to save our souls. This season of peace and thanksgiving is the time of year t...

The Magic of Life Not very often do we stop to think of all the people and all the events that come together to create the person we are today.

Magic is that which is formed by physics or chemistry, but is not fully explained by science, yet is influenced by faith or belief. It does not need be explained, only experienced. Its affect upon us is determined by our experiences. Not everything need be explained. Trust your experiences, possess them, they are the magic that f...

     Ted and His Lullaby Bear

     When Ted was brought home we bought two identical bears that play lullabye baby. The bears were given to Jackie and Ted to comfort them as they adjusted to each other. Ted discovered that if he played the music box, then cried someone would come play with him. After a short time Jackie and Ted would howl every time anyone, dog or human, played the music box. When Penny came, we got her a lullaby baby bear of her own. T...
