Your blessed reply to Eva makes this place such a rewarding house of hope, of caring, and shared prayer. Ginnie came along giving thanks we who come here to thank God and pray for peace bring light to the world. Just as the Lord instructed us, we give, and in your post you selflessly in care, deep care for the fears of another switch your appointment date for another. Blessed are you who give, who extend warm hands making peace, providing for the needs of another. I am so buoyed by your gift of giving. Just as the Father has asked of us.

It is so much more blessed to give than it is to receive, is it not?
My heart swells to overfull when the needs of another are met,
Seeing a smile from one who now has work because she received an opportunity,
Knowing through all of the difficulties we face, God is our constant companion,
Never failing, always giving,
an example for all to follow,
Prayerfully,
Mark56

dear sandy,

what a wonderful gift
selfless
i have so much respect
to those who think of others before self
a true work of art
no doubt from God
you have strengthened me
selfless
you are kind to share everyday i am reminded
as if i were told for the first time
go through the emotions and say
it will be taken care of one way or another
i find myself saying
God, why all at once
and remember
all for a reason if i believe and trust
I do trust you God
forgive me
i pray you are doing well
and i thank you for touching me

Happy Holidays

blessed to be tested

blessed that you are watching over us

in spirit
in all my life struggles
you have given me the gift of spirit
i get it
it doesn't stop
i can't stop it
because
thy will be done
thank you God
thank you Jesus
thank you friends

Dear Eva, how blessed I feel that you added your blessings to your post, for you continue thusly to bring focus upon the Father.

I am blessed to awaken another moment to acknowledge the blessings I know to be surrounding all of us. Blessed itt is the Season to celebrate Him so much more so than engorge ourselves upon unnecessary consumption. Blessed of this reminder God is with us, and that I will be allowed to sing a Christmas carol with which HE inspired me over thirty years ago when we gather to worship on Christmas morning, for it so very important to give praise to Him.

Blessed am I to know the fulfillment of pro bono work which helps so many others. To have my doctor ask that I write an article for a medical journal urging providers to take opportunity to allow far more patient involvement in subjective programming of thier SCS devices in order that the message of the success with my programming be hears throughout the SCS physician community for all patients, please pray that it will be published and gain the benefit of real use so more who receive implants might know better and more thorough SCS responsiveness to THEIR needs.

So blessed to Know the love of the great I AM, to be surrounded by the love of all who read these words, who populate my family, and my friends near and far.

Blessings be for you this day,
Mark56

Not often am I able to get down to the beach. Walking is very hard for me on an uneven surface, but today I did. I was so blessed to be there in this remote area. Nobody was there but me and God. Not a soul about in eithor direction. All of you were with me. I had an hour of quiet to think about all of us, and pray. I felt each one of you, and I prayed for relief and blessings in our lives. Times for solitude these days is rare, life is busy, especially during the holiday time. I just wanted all of you to know that not a day goes by, that I don't pray for the souls I have met here. I had wished the kind of peace I knew this morning for all of you. If I could have wrapped that time up and given it to each of you with a big bow on top I would have. In my heart I shared it with you. ginnie::

Eva,
You are truly a gift from God. And as strange as all this is....I realized my next surgery day is exactly the same day of my first bad mammogram. i had that on Jan 17, 2011, My bi lateral mastectomy March 17, 2011, my inplants put in June 17, 2011, and now my finishing touches Jan 17, 2011. I don;t think it's coincidental. It's God's way of reminding me that this is all full circle and a way of paying it forward, by giving up the earlier date that was offered to me. I know the fears and tears all too well on this journey. And I vowed to always give back, whenever I am able to! What is going on with you? Do you have a surgery date yet? Keep me updated as I have lots of helpful hints for comfort and healing throughout this journey. God bless you and keep you strong my sweet pink warrior. together we can and will beat this!
Love, hugs and lucky shamrocks
Sandy

There is this young Mom, a single Mom, healthy from all appearances so praises she does not struggle as we do here, but today was a special day. You see, this little company for which work has believed in rewarding people for the things they have done when times were tough and the little company had hard water to navigate.

Young Mom pitched in even harder during those times, and the company leadership witnessed her devotion to not only her family but to her company, the place that helps keep roof over head and food on the table. So today, among my duties, I found myself preparing stock certificates in the company. Cash is not DEEP in supply, but ownership in a company for which one works SO HARD can be a very rewarding benefit. Thus, today, Young Mom received from the President of our company stock which rewards her for the HARD WORK she has invested in the company. I congratulated MOM, and it was so cool to catch her smile, the glint of pride in her eyes, with the bit of tears at the edges. God is good. I felt blessed to see this carried out.

Thank you Mark,
When I seen that woman at the dr office, it was like a ghost of Christmas past. I will NEVER forget the fear and anxiety that preceded my bi lateral mastectomy. All the feelings that your body failed you and the fear of un unknown is horrible to live with. I was very lucky to find kindness and hope I never even knew existed! I appreciate even the smallest things now. I believe bad things happen for a reason which soneday we will understand. Till my time is up, I vow to give back and be the kindness that just shows up when we least expect it. You are an amazing person and inspire hope for me just in your post. Keep paying it forward, because in the end we shall be rewarded.. You Rock!!
Sandy

Eva,
I know right now you are experiencing a whirlwind of testing, but that tells me your drs. are on top of this. I was blessed by the most amazing team in the world. I joke and call them my grey's anatomy team! Any questions or concerns ypu have, I will share all my knowledge i have gained thru this. It's what helped me thru this nightmare. But, I have met amazing people thru this journey, that I never would have met otherwise. So for that, I thank cancer. For it has blessed me with some of the most incredible angels, that I truly believe were sent by God to touch my life in a profound way! Try to relax and enjoy the spirit of Christmas! Remember, quitters never win and winners never quit!! You are in my deepest thoughts and prayers sweetie!!
Sandy

Ginnie,
Now I'm really jealous! I hate winter and the gray skies we have in Michigan. I pray for each and every one of you daily, and there is so much comfort in knowing we are all prayed for by stranger, or people we have never physically met. It so restores my faith in kindness and angels. You are an amazing person and I'm so happy you got to spend some quiet time reflecting and enjoying the sunshine and scenery. It really does boost one's spirits! God bless you and give you many many more peaceful times like those!!
Sandy
