good day all

blessing for the day

i am blessed for yet another day

i am blessed and able to have a place
i am able and can share

i am blessed having the opportunity in another day
if i could help someone else who may feel hopeless
and wanting to give up a shoulder they can lean on

i am blessed knowing God is always with us

it is wonderful knowing i may slowly capture a sense of
calmness even in pain blessed indeed with the uplift
of human kindness

i am blessed that oliver our dog will be waiting and wanting
to see us as much as we do

yesterday was again turned up side down and was able
accepting it without frustration

i am blessed another day

may all have a great day finding their blessings

thank you God

give us this day our daily bread

AMEN

Oh yes, EVA
 

For your blessings we feel joy!

It is blessed to be a blessing, and to reach out to another in caring with encouragement, hope, and love. The Beatitudes so clearly come to mind. Such was my joy as today, a young lady with whom I have worked regarding her self esteem received my nudge today when I pointed out that another needful friend was in worship...... She arose from her place and went to sit next to our mutual friend, giving of herself as God has blessed her to do.

That is a beautiful blessing for today,

change of heart
 

dear friends

a rough night

i struggle in daily life
as all do one way or another

but as i had horrible rest last night
along with horrible nightmares
even when in sleep mode

don't know if medicine related or
just things i take with me from waking life
right into my sleeping

it did not help doing research
on pain pump or Horners syndrome

getting my legs off the side of bed
and just sitting sobbing with it all
i decided to start with taking my meds
along with my coffee something i enjoy
now as per doctor recommendation for the
headaches

after a long hard cry

i went and got the pc
now a fried of mine
as it is here do i feel
i can let loose and not be judged

it isn't the poor mes
i have a place that i can
turn on and share my ups and downs

today my blessings are

thank you for yet another day

my pain and sorrows tiny
as a grain of sand
yet feels like a boulder

i am again reminded to take myself
and accept things as they are

i cannot take control as in my few winks
of rest were my mind still cries

i am blessed
ever oh so blessed
having found this forum
that helps me keep life in perspective

it immediately took me out of myself
and may i say
it is my blessing form all support
given from this thread

my thoughts were negative
things no one should be thinking

i am blessed and thankful
being here able to turn my thoughts
into positive ones

i am blessed and thankful
and choose coming in and sharing
as i do i can feel the bricks that weigh me down
slowly crumble making my heart feel lighter
getting rid of the junk

i am blessed
for i feel the weight get lighter and lighter
as i type in
but know it feel better and does me good
and for that how can one not be open for blessing

for all those suffering in whatever form
i wish them a sense of calmness
allowing those the opportunity
and sense or feel the lightness happen

something not by chance
but by the grace of God
have been blessed with
blessings from those who share


i am blessed and able
change my thinking because
i was able to turn on the pc
and come here

dear God thank you for
showing me i can move on
with the help of beautiful human
KINDNESS

it can change a persons outlook

i am blessed and able returning
the same

as this place allowed me
the change of heart

be blessed in your day

Sensing a Better Day than night.
 

Hi Eva
I too had a bad night and waking to your blessings brought me joy.
Just sharing your blessings can mean so much to others. It's still very dark here but I can't wait for the sun to rise and brighten the house.

Wish I liked coffee - it has such a great aroma to wake up to. I'll have to settle for my cup of tea.:)

A new week and a new day. I plan to go ahead with a smile in my heart knowing I have a place to share with those using the scs or just trying to learn more about this amazing technology. My family and friends are always there for me but how often do they really want to hear me complain? This pain has been going on for years, it gets SO old.

Thank you Lord for another day and another opportunity.

Bricks
MRidder 20111114

I came to You Lord with weight of bricks
the pain of the load was hard and gave me back cricks.

You smiled as you took the load one by one
and began to show me the grace of the Son.

You taught as You worked long
removing pain's load in song.

Then one by one You began to show me
Your infinite mercy.

While bricks each with name
You took them to frame

A place which has beauty sure
as the shrine to You was built pure

So with pain delivered to You
I was brought to this place anew.

Place known to be blessing filled
and with You at my side I am always thrilled.

right on mark!!!!!

Eva
 

I think that is so beautiful, the way you talk about coming here to this place, a blessing to us all. This has become a powerful sanctuary as we all unite our faith

You, my dear, are an inspiration to all of us.

Praying for PEACE to fall upon you as you drift off to slumberland tonite.
No more nightmares.....no more turmoil within
Rest Peacefully....

:hug: Rae :hug:

dear friends

blessings for the day

today is difficult in many ways
pain is increasing

however this is a place that
forces me the chance to stop
as i choose starting my day

i am blessed having a place i can
come to and start my day with thanks

i am blessed when i think about
the opportunity sharing with
others who understand the
darkness pain can strip from one
may it be physically or mentally

i am blessed not by chance
when i look at the forums
and realize almost all applies
so much suffering

i am blessed and able
forgiving my father
an amputee at a young age
who committed suicide
at the age of 47

i am blessed to find i can humble myself
not easy as i am human
and only in Gods plan can i
trust all his teachings

i am blessed for yet another day
even in my darkness
this places allows a
flicker of light and hoped

i am blessed in many ways
and when weak in spirit
know that i am not alone

i do feel blessed having
all here ready to help me
find my way back

thank you God
for my family and friends
along with all humans alike
that need a comforting
sense of being

the struggles are difficult
the pain and anger close by

may i keep closer
thy will be done

have a beautiful blessed day

.....so sorry to hear about your father, Eva :(
Some of the dearest people I know are over on the SOS forum
There is no deeper pain than this.

To be racked with physical pain on top of losing a loved one - is the ultimate suffering.

I noticed you are a first-time grandma :) me too!
Isn't it wonderful how God brings us such an incredible bundle of joy to give us a whole new meaning. They take us away from our pain, better than any medicine.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. :hug:
You have a mighty faith - it rises above these trials and tribulations
