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!
Everyone knows
just where I stand
on the red, white and blue
symbol of our land.
I have shared my thoughts
when they’re asked of me
on “In God We Trust”and
“My Country ‘Tis of Thee”
The pledge of allengiance
it should be made clear
is recited by all
who choose to live here
Give our flag the honor
and respect it commands
as the symbol of freedom
that governs these lands
With life and liberty
come opportunities
not separate laws and
closed communities
Jesus said we must all
“Love one another”
not viciously kill
our sister or brother
When I hear those words
“Oh say can you see,”
I’m proud to sing
“My Country ‘Tis of Thee!”
God bless America!
“I pledge allegiance
to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
One nation
under God
indivisible
with liberty
and justice
for all.”

(BTW: Mark just got his third opinion last week, that doctor concurred with the first two and their diagnosis. 😦 BUT, we will not allow it to dampen our Holidays. I plan on enjoying however much time God grants us together; hoping and praying for another miracle Christmas like the one He gave us a few years back when my brother wasn’t supposed to live long enough to see the day and we still have him!!)

Well, I’m pretty sad today. Mark went yesterday to have the ultrasound done on his heart and now has to go back on Friday for the angiogram. They said his right side was too inflamed to see anything. When they go in on Friday, if they can determine the cause and IF it’s minor enough, they will fix it right then and there but if not, we are probably looking at open heart surgery.
I feel like a broken record saying this but, please keep him in your prayers.
Love and hugs to all, Terri
I don’t know where I left it last time I posted but: last Tuesday we went to meet with Mark’s new cardiologist and the Heart Center, whom I liked very much; the testing results showed that he has an enlarged right ventricle he needs to go get a procedure done that takes ultrasound pictures of his heart; depending on what they show, he will either require an electroencephalograph to diagnose what and where the damage is or the medication he was given to keep his blood pressure up during the day should suffice to stop his passing out.
Mark has known for about 15 years that he has a tiny hole in his heart but it’s not caused him problems before. The doctor said he was probably born with it and it has now become larger. He also said that, should that be the diagnosis, he can patch it with a fairly minor procedure. Of course, as I told my family, when you’re talking about messing with my husband’s heart – nothing is minor to me!!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, please continue – they’re working!! At the very least, I’m thankful that we are finally moving in the right direction and he didn’t have a heart attack but just passed out instead. The doctor said it could easily have been the other way around.
Love and hugs
Terri
What about God?
