Someone has written these beautiful words. It’s a must read.
They are like the ten commandments to follow in life all of the time!
Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is
a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout the journey.
So why is a car’s windshield so large & the rear view mirror so small? Because out PAST in not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.
Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write.
All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, it will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, it can’t last long either.
Old friends are Gold! New friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you need a base of Gold.
Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!”
When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesnt’ solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities.
A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing your sight?” He replied, “Yes, losing your vision!”
When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you’re safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES,,,,, it takes away today’s PEACE!
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God!

> THE LIST:
I just received this from a good friend and want to share with you…
I like the way this is phrased because it recognizes that the political class are “bought and paid for”. I believe that the basic premise is correct:
If you listen to Trump, he is hitting many of the hot buttons of the electorate. But you have to listen to him and not be distracted by his showmanship (which is designed to give him free publicity since he’s paying for his own campaign).
I like the list of 13 things that I, as a senior American citizen, want. Trump is at least talking about issues that most Americans are concerned about.
My mantra about Trump is this: We are usually in agreement with most of what he says but wish someone else was saying it. We are getting older and our tickers aren’t what they used to be …
so here is
Our Special Bucket List for 2016 ….
HERE IS WHAT WE WANT…
1. Hillary: held accountable for her previous wrongs!
2. Put “GOD” back in America !!!
3. Borders: Closed or tightly guarded!
4. Congress: On the same retirement & healthcare plans as everybody else.
5. Congress: Obey its own laws NOW!
6. Language: English only!
7. Culture: Constitution and the Bill of Rights!
8. Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before & during Welfare!
9. Freebies: NONE to Non-Citizens!
10. Budget: Balance the damn thing!
11. Foreign Countries: Stop giving them our money! Charge them for our help! We need it here.
12. Fix the TAX CODE!
And most of all.
13. “RESPECT OUR MILITARY AND OUR FLAG!!”
“You are my sunshine”
I softly sing to you
For the warmth of your smile
is what carries me through
Thinking I can’t go on
until I see your face
Holds a smile as you sleep
and my heart skips a pace
Sometimes I get cranky
say I can take no more
But you know just how much
you are loved and adored.

Finally have some good news to share with you:
Sara’s son Sebastian is such a treasure for us! Though it was not in our plans to be “parents” again at our age, it seems to have been a blessing in disguise, no big surprise to God I’m sure since His plans always work to our good!!
Sara’s postpartum depression “baby blues” have totally thrown her for a loop. I feel so bad for her! She said they seem to have hyper-intensified every other problems she already had but was trying to avoid having to deal with, like panic attacks, mood swings, etc. and not to mention damage of her abuse.
We have her set up with counseling until she is 18 and then she will move to the Behavioral Science Dept. at the hospital as an out-patient. I pray they can help her overcome the past and give her hope for a happy & healthy future.
We have talked about & agreed on Mark and I taking custody of Sebastian until she gets it together enough to feel capable of raising him on her own. That will ensure his position in the family should anyone try to say that Sara’s is incapable of caring for him. Always have to cover your butt legally these days you know!
Blaine’s family are growing like weeds! The twins are 1&1/2 now.
As well as Shawna’s.
Mark’s dad’s chemo is going well. The small spot on his brain is gone and the rest have not grown. Your prayers are helping, thank you so very much!!
I still have my days where I cry about missing Penny. Especially when I’m stressed out and need to vent or have a sounding board. I know she’s happy in heaven but it still hurts.
Mom and dad are still plugging away in Florida still and probably won’t come home until some time in April.
Just wanted to drop you a line and catch you a more up to date!!
Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we keep you in ours.
God’s peace and blessings upon you and your’s all,
Terri
What about God?
