Please Pray

Good Morning

We had a bit of an impromptu sleep over of a little school friend (we have known her 2 1/2 years now) .This is a neglected child of a troubled single parent home with alcohol involved.
The girls stayed up until 1 a.m. where Dove tells me the child shared some pretty hard things. Nothing of direct abuse but just living in the way she has to live.
Please pray for L. and for the child's well being.
Please pray for the L's mom, there is an unwanted pregnancy involved.
Dove was such a good friend to her.
I told Dove that the child is welcome here to have a safe place to rest.
I am so grateful Dove was safe enough to share with me.
Please pray for the children.

ALSO

Our Golden had a rabies vaccine Thursday and she has come up lame on the leg of the injection and in great pain. It appears a bad reaction to the shot.
We have to take her in at 2:30 $$$$$$$$$

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
