One of God’s precious Creations
I am thankful for he has given me what truly Love is all about
For them I would do anything even give my Life without a doubt
There are no words to express my emotions
They are my first thoughts when I wake up to the sunrise by the ocean
They are what keeps me going Strong, Happy and I’m committed to their devotions
They are the Love of my Life
Even if they seem afar I will be there for them wherever they are
I Miss their Hugs, Kisses, Laughs and believe or not their cries
Makes me frown when they are not around
But I know they Miss & Love me so that brings me up and not down
They will always be in my thoughts and deeply in my heart
Because They are the Love of my Life
My Precious daughters for you I am here and know that I will never depart.

We come to join in the banquet of love. Let it open our hearts and break down the fears that keep us from loving each other.
~sung by the Dominican nuns
Give me a good digestion, Lord, and also something to digest;
Give me a healthy body, Lord, and sense to keep it at its best.
Give me a healthy mind, good Lord, to keep the good and pure in sight;
Which, seeing, sin, is not appalled, but finds a way to set it right.
Give me a mind that is not bound, that does not whimper, whine or sigh.
Don't let me worry overmuch about the fussy thing called "I."
Give me a sense of humor, Lord; give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some happiness from life and pass it on to other folk.
~Thomas H. B. Webb
Be present at our table, Lord.
Be here and everywhere adored.
Thy creatures bless and grant that we
May feast in paradise with Thee.
~John Cennick
** A Hebrew Blessing **
Blessed are You, O Lord our God, Eternal King,
Who feeds the whole world with Your goodness,
With grace, with loving kindness, and with tender mercy.
You give food to all flesh,
For Your loving kindness endures forever.
Through Your great goodness, food has never failed us.
O may it not fail us forever, for Your name's sake,
Since You nourish and sustain all living things,
And do good to all,
And provide food for all Your creatures
Whom You have created.
Blesses are You, O Lord, Who gives food to all.
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
** Aztec Prayer (from the 1500's) **
Lord most giving and resourceful,
I implore you;
make it your will
that this people enjoy
the goods and riches you naturally give,
that naturally issue from you,
that are pleasing and savory,
that delight and comfort,
though lasting but briefly,
passing away as if in a dream.
Heavenly Father, bless us,
And keep us all alive;
There's ten of us for dinner
And not enough for five.
Our Father in Heaven, we give thanks for the pleasure of gathering together for this occasion. We give thanks for life, the feedom to enjoy it all, and all other blessings. As we partake of this food, we pray for health and strength to carry on and try to live as You would have us. This we ask in the name of Christ Our Heavenly Father.
~Harry Jewell, mid-1900's
Bless this food and us that eats it.
~Cowboy grace
** Iroquois Prayer from the 1800's **
We return thanks to our mother, the earth, with sustains us. We return thanks to the rivers and streams,which supply us with water. We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases. WE return thanks to the corn, and to her sisters, the beans and squash, shich give us life. We return thanks to the bushes and trees, which provide us with fruit. We return thanks to the wind, which, moving the air, has banished diseases. We return thanks to the moon and the stars, which have given us their light when the sun was gone. We return thanks to our grandfather He-no, that he has protected his grandchildren from witches and reptiles, and has given to us his rain. We return thanks to the sun, that he has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye. Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in whom is embodied all goodness, and who directs all things for the good of his .
When turkey's on the table laid,
And good things I may scan,
I'm thankful that I wasn't made
A vegetarian.
~Edgar A. Guest
Give us this day our daily bread, O Father in heaven, and grant that we who are filled with good things from Your open hand, may never close our hearts to the hungry, the homeless, and the poor; in the name of the Father, and of the Sone,a nd of the Holy Spirit.
~from the abbey of New Clairvaux, Viña, California
Though our mouths were full of song as the sea, and our tongues of exultation as the multitude of its waves,
and our lips of praise as the wide-extended firmament;
though our eyes shone with light like the sun and the moon,
and our hands were spread forth like the eagles of heaven,
and our feet were swift as hinds,
we should still be unable to thank thee and bless thy name,
O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
for one thousandth or one ten thousandth part of the bounties which thou has bestowed upon our fathers and upon us.
~from the Hebrew Prayer Book
~ Psalm 100 ~
Call out to the Almighty
Everyone on earth!
Serve God with gladness.
Come before Him with joyous song!
Know that the Almighty, He is God.
It is He who made us and we are His,
His nation and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving.
Enter His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
The Almighty is good.
His loving-kindness endures forever.
And His faithfulness continues
From generation to generation.
~ Moravian Blessing ~
Come, Lord Jesus, our guest to be
And bless these gifts
Bestowed by Thee.
And bless our loved ones everywhere,
And keep them in Your loving care.
(contributed by Sherrill Crater)
Only on Thanksgiving day do we bless the turkey;
To God we are thankful for that bird.
(for normally the "turkey" is a "nerd").
May our hearts be lifted up as our bellies fill.
May our lives continue to show
Love for God, family and country still.
Especially today, we pray,
God Bless not just the USA but the whole WORLD.. .
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE...

LOVE IS NOT EASY....

Love is never easy, but
It turns life into song.
There is no bit of circumstance
That love cannot transform.
There is no weary moment
Of anger or despair
That love cannot convert to grace
And render whole and fair.
How passionate the paradise
That comes from knowing well
That someone in your happiness
Finds pleasure for himself.
How sweet the gift of giving to
Someone who gives to you,
A selflessness that gives to self
More self than self is due.
With all the searing madness of
The world from day to day,
And all the dreary sadness that
No joy can take away,
There is one truth more beautiful
Than anyone can bear:
That two can trust that when they turn
They'll find the other there.

When you are feeling all alone
Down-hearted, sad and blue,
And you think that there's just no one
Who really cares for you,
Just look above and you will see
A Friend so near and dear;
His tender love and gentle care
Is offered you right here.
Christ gave His very life for you...
No greater love than this;
No need to wait for heaven's gate
To know true joy and bliss;
Just surrender your all to Him,
You'll be so richly blessed;
He'll be your Lord and dearest Friend
And give to you His best.
When you are down, He'll lift you up,
He'll warm a heart grown cold;
His heavenly manna from above
Will satisfy your soul.
In Him you'll find a peace and joy
Like you have never known,
He'll walk beside you evermore...
You Will Never Be Alone.
"...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
(Heb.13:5)

If tears could build a stairway and memories build a lane Id walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken. no time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you, no-one can ever know.
But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more. To remember all the happy times; life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten I pledge to you today--A hollowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay.
A loving husband and a loving father...we missed you so much..

In memory of those who die ......

In memory of those who died
We weep and walk away.
Tears run into swollen streams.
No trace of us remains.
Even those who grieve are gone,
And those that grieve who grieve,
And those whose lives are ravaged by
A frantic urge to be,
And those who wander silently
Among the empty rooms:
Immortality is theirs,
Though they must vanish, too.
We bear astonished witness to
The passage of the soul.
No bridge exists that can connect
Our passion to the whole.
Lets all remembered our family who are now in Heaven on this very special day..on ALL SOULS DAY..

I think about you all day and everyday,
I cant let you go,
for in my mind you will always stay.
I love you so much,
more than you could ever think.
I love the way you say you love me back,
I also love your tender touch.
I dream of you when I sleep.
I send my love to you,
and you send yours to me.
all the love you send me I will forever keep.
I would break down and cry if I ever lost you,
your my everything,
my soul, my heart, my body and strength.
I would die without you and that's not all I'd do.
I can never let you go,
and Honey you know its true.
together forever and ever.
and i love you so much and that's all i know.

Love Me
Kiss me oh so sweetly, darling
Drown in the tenderness of my kiss
Lets escape to a whole new world
Being sucked into this new found bliss.
But don't you fear my dear
For our tight embrace
Will keep us together forever
Trace the outline of my face
For you touch is ever so gentle
Yet sends chills through my spine
Because everything is just fine
As long as I am in your arms
Nothing will ever harm me
For I feel so secure, so safe with you
I wish that I could only make you see
How much I truly love you
So please , never break my heart
Because it would be too much for me to handle
If we were to ever part ...

Overcoming Jealousy..............................
|
Posted:Oct 14, 2008 10:14 pm
Last Updated:Oct 14, 2008 11:14 pm 4685 Views

It's the feeling that wells up inside when a date speaks highly of an attractive coworker or when your soul mate seems a little too happy to see an ex at a party -- it's dating jealousy and it can take hold of you so fast and so hard that it leaves you and your relationship destroyed. Don't let jealousy take over your life: Follow these dating steps toward overcoming the green-eyed monster in you.
1. Leave the Players and the Flirts Behind
One of the best ways to overcome jealousy is to not get involved with flirts and players.
One of the best ways to overcome jealousy is to not get involved with flirts and players. There are singles out there who will thrive on making you jealous because they like the dating drama and attention. If you're jealous, they know that you are constantly obsessing over them and dwelling on them. By provoking your jealousy, they've just made themselves the center of your universe. Instead, be smart -- kick them out of your universe and find a better date.
2. Determine if You're Jealous in This Relationship or Every Relationship
In order to overcome jealousy, you've got to figure out whether you're being real or being paranoid. Normal jealousy can actually serve a purpose. It's there to alert you to a partner's possible infidelity -- a threat to the relationship. Is your relationship actually being threatened or is the jealousy in your head only? A good way to figure out if there's a basis to your jealousy is to reflect on your past relationships. Are you always jealous even if you haven't had a reason to be? Do you have trust issues in every relationship or just this one? Also, talk to some friends or family who can be objective about the situation and help you sort out your jealous feelings -- a counselor can also be helpful with this.
3. Get Confident in Dating
The source of a lot of the jealousy has nothing to do with what your date does; it lies within you. If you're upset because your date drools a little when he or she sees a fashion model or celebrity in a magazine, don't start comparing yourself to that image. Work on your dating confidence and focus on all you have to offer. Then, your envy of others will dramatically decrease.
4. Talk It Through
Learn to communicate your jealous feelings in a healthy way. For instance, let your mate know that you're jealous about the amount of time the attractive coworker gets to spend with him or her. Make sure as you're talking, you're not accusing. Accusing makes any person defensive, and you won't get anywhere.
5. Draw the Line
Particularly, if you are in a monogamous relationship with someone, you need to establish what behaviors are acceptable to you and what behaviors will bring out the green-eyed monster in you. Are you okay with your partner constantly texting a single man -- or single woman? Will that send you over the edge? How do you feel about your partner dancing with someone else at a club when you aren't around?
Establishing reasonable boundaries and respecting them gets both of you on the same playing field.
Establishing reasonable boundaries and respecting them gets both of you on the same playing field. The keyword here is reasonable. Setting a boundary like "Don't talk to any single men -- or single women -- you work with" is an impossible and smothering line to draw.
6. Strengthen Your Relationship in Other Ways
If you're overly jealous when there isn't a whole lot of reason to be, it means that your relationship isn't as strong as it should be. You need to evaluate what's lacking. Are you not spending enough quality time together? Has the passion died down over the years? Once you identify what's really concerning you, then you can address it with your partner and work on strengthening the relationship rather than wasting time and energy on empty jealous feelings.
