A New E-Mail From Mom – Titled “Health Message” – Another Onery One

HEALTH MESSAGE

 

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly realized that I don’t really give a rat’s a–.   It’s the tortoise life for me!   1.  If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.   2.  A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.   3.  A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.   4.  A tortoise doesn’t run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.   And you tell me to exercise??  I don’t think so.   I’m retired.  Go around me!

 

Stroke Has A New Indicator – E-Mail Via My Brother – Important to Read!

Stroke has a new indicator

They say if you email this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life.

Will you send this along?Blood Clots/Stroke – They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

 

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters….. S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: It only takes a minute to read this. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the ’3′ steps, STR. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S * Ask the individual to SMILE. T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK ASIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (I.e. It is sunny out today.) R* Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Will you?

Prayer Requests

You may have living and habitual conversation in heaven, under the aspect of the most simple, ordinary life.  Remember that holiness does not consist in doing uncommon things, but in doing every thing with purity of heart.

Henry E. Manning

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.  When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.  He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”  And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Mark 10:13-16
The New International Version

There is no safer place for your hopes and dreams than in the loving hands of your faithful Father.

A Labyrithn

A big labyrinth
it does seem
more a nightmare
than a dream

Where there is
great endless stairs
that increase worries
and your cares

For they go
on and on
where has the
time all gone

Feel you’ll never
find the way out
as your fear
gives way to doubt

But hold on
there’s an end
on this fact
you must depend

Don’t give up
you must have hope
or you’ll never
be able to cope!

Tough Enough

“Do you think
you’re tough enough
to make it through
when it gets rough?”

And she said
“I think so
but you never
really do know,”

“‘Til you’ve begun
for yourself to fight
because you know
you’re doing what’s right.”

“Do you want
to take the chance
when first blood
you more than glance?”

“I’ll tell the truth
go for it all
when the time comes
 my name they call!”

“You’ll have to be
pretty darn strong
but what you’re doing
is nothing wrong!”

The Witches Of Halloween

All the witches
will for Halloween

Fly the earth
an unsightly seen

Giving out a
wicked laughter peel

The peace of
innocents to steal

How they wish
children to scare

As they fill
up the air

Don’t allow them
your children take

Keep them safe
for heaven’s sake!

My Friday Thoughts – Blessings Not Burdens

Children are blessings, not burdens.  Though when we are too young to have them it may seem the opposite. 

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have given a child up for adoption, I know that it is the best decision that some have had to make for the sake of that child.  I am quite certain that the adoptive parents view it as a blessing. 

I don’t know where I would be without my children today.  I do know that I was not the best mother in the far past but have tried to make that up to them in the recent past.  I feel the burden of my “sins of neglect” to this day but the forgiveness they have given me and with the grace of God, that burden has become lighter over the years.

They do have happy childhood memories, just not as many as I would have liked and yet we have built many adult memories that will be with them after I am gone.  It is never too late to make things right, unless we wait too long.  When we are gone, they will be left with the regret of lost chances.  Don’t do that to them – we are the ones who have to ensure this doesn’t happen.

To wallow in our regrets to the point of never making them right, to stay stuck in our bitterness over the past is neglect of the first order.  Take responsibility for mistakes, we all make them including our children.  Ask their forgiveness before it’s too late – you will be doing both of you a favor.  Tell them today that you love and cherish them!  I never hang up the phone without saying so nor part without a kiss and “I love you”!!

Always remember that Jesus died for us because He loves us!

In His love,
Terri

Another Night

Another night
so quickly passed

Though I know
not the last

You were born
ever so small

Now you are
not at all

Used to watch
as you slept

And soft tears
I quietly wept

As in innocence
there you lay

Still thanking God
for you today!
