When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me...
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say...
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too...
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand...
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love...
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home,
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne...
He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you,
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew...
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past...
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart...
I Relax and Rest...God gives Me Peaceful Sleep
In God's perfect plan for me, there is a time to work and play, a
time for me to give my best efforts and a time for me to rest. As I
work with the orderly rhythm of God's plan, I live a well-balanced,
satisfying life.
When it is time for me to work, I concentrate all my abilities on
the task at hand. When it is time for me to play, I dissmiss all
thoughts of work from my mind and enjoy my recreation thoroughly.
When it it time for me to rest, I place the day's activities in
God's hands and accept His gift of peaceful sleep.
I prepare for my rest by letting my mind dwell on only pleasant
thoughts. If any anxious thought presses in on me, I bless it and
release it to God. I know that in His perfect wisdom everything will be
taken care of in an orderly way.
I relax and rest in the ever-watchful care of my loving Father.
God gives me peaceful sleep.
When thou liest down, thou shall not be afraid:
Yes, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Proverbs: 3:24
Quote from my Grandmother: For this I thank Him each day...For His
loving care.

A Thankful Prayer
Dear Father, I know You will be with me throughout this day. I
know You will work in and through me so so that I can express my
highest self. I give thanks that I am a channel through which You
are revealed. I give thanks, too, that You help me to inspire
others to acquaint themselves with Your presence within them.
I thank You, Father, that I can serve You and my fellow man capably
in my environment or situation. I know that I am always in my right
place in Your universe and that Your power is mine to use for the
highest good of all.
I thank You, Father, that I can think Your thoughts after You and
with these thoughts I mold the world in which I live. Employing
thoughts of love and joy and faith, I build a life worthy of Your
grace and glory.
I thank You, Father, for the opportunity to turn often to You in
prayer. As we commune, I feel and accept Your willingness to
express Your-self through me and all of Your children.
Amen
Jebovab is my light and my salvation.
Psalms 27:1.
A Prayer from my Grandmother.

A Blessing!
The man whispered, "God, speak to me"
And a meadowlark sang, but the man did not hear...
So the man yelled, "God, speak to me!"
And the thunder rolled across the sky, but the man did not listen...
The man looked around and said, "God, let me see You"
And a star shone brightly, but the man did not notice...
And the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle!"
And a life was born, but the man did not know...
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me, God, and let me
know that You are here!"
Whereupon God reached down and touched the man..
But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on...
Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged
the way that you expect.
Because Your My Friend
When you are sad,
I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,
I will comfort your fears.
When you are worried,
I will give you hope.
When you are confused,
I will help you cope.
And when you are lost,
And can't see the light.
I shall be your beacon
Shining ever so bright
This is my oath.
I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask?
Because your my friend.

GUARDIAN ANGELS
When Angels sense you need them,
And Angels always do,
They come, unseen, from everywhere
To help and comfort you...
They hover close beside you
Till all your cares are gone,
Till they can see you're ready
Once again to carry on...
But one, at least, stays with you
As your constant friend and guide,
For GUARDIAN ANGELS never leave,
They're always at your side...
Then some of them may fly away
And take their gentle touch,
To other hearts that need
The love of Angels very much...
But one, at least, stays with you
As your constant friend and guide,
For GUARDIAN ANGELS never leave,
They're always at your side.
Oh, Canada
Shortly after arriving at the University of Washington, I
joined some new friends on a trip to nearby Vancouver.
It
was my first trip outside the United States.
At the border, a guard asked how long we would be staying in
Canada. Knowing it would be after midnight when we returned,
I asked, "How late will be we be able to get back across the
border?
"Any time, ma'am", the guard replied.
"We never close Canada."
Humour from Pattianne!!

Aging Mildred
Aging Mildred was a 93 year old woman who was particularly despondent
over the recent death of her husband, Earl. She decided that she
would just kill herself and join him in death.
Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she
took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot
herself in the heart, since it was so badly broken in the first
place.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and
burden someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to
just exactly where the heart would be on a woman.
The doctor said, "Your heart would be just below your left breast.
"Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a
gunshot wound to her knee.
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
A Prayer
"I wish for you..."
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.
God Bless..
God Bless you!
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So, when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest.
A little "Piggy" Tale
The lightening flashed...
and the thunder roared
and all the world was shaken...
the little "piggy" put up his tail
and ran to save his "bacon"!!
