Hello to all on blessings II
 

God bless all of us tonight. My bucket list is in action. I hope I don't mess up and do too much. When everything hurts, how do you choose to try something you don't know if you can do or not, when everything just about costs money?
I am praying right now for all of us on Blessings. We sure do need all the angels and prayers we can get. This site is never far from my mind or my heart, no matter what the day presents.
Hope your night Eva, Mark, Gerry, Jan, that all of you have less pain and good dreams. Your sister in the spirit, asap, ginnie

Dreams and Bucket Lists
 

Awww, Ginnie....you are such a sweetie! I think it heals our own hearts and blesses us when we pray for our brothers and sisters. At least for me, it takes me out of myself and my own pain and causes me to focus on what someone else might be going through. Seems like there's always someone who has it WAY worse than me, so it also brings me back down to earth and out of my own pity party! Last night I woke up almost every hour on the hour...so aggravating! Then I thought about those who have such high levels of pain that they can't even get to sleep at all, and I thanked the Lord for those one-hour reprieves from the unrelenting pain.

And sometimes I really do believe that God wakes us up so that we can pray for others....intercessory prayer. Blesses both the pray-er and the prayee....how cool is that?!

About that bucket list...hey, we all need to have goals and dreams, right? Just use your head, and don't overdo it :cool: (ha, easy for me to say, since I'm the world's worst culprit!) For me, that's what gives me hope.

Right now my big prayer is that I can get this pain under control enough to join some missionary friends of mine in Mexico who are building an orphanage for the many children down there who are homeless. I know that if I could just tolerate the pain, I could do this! I've been down there before, (several years ago with my aunt and uncle who are now in Heaven) and can't even put into words the blessings abundant received from worshiping with those precious saints in the Lord. Imagine that, I went there to help out, and I'm the one who was blessed! I surely hope those folks were blessed, too. The music was amazing....a bunch of adorable teenagers playing guitars and singing, leading the rest of the congregation in songs of praise! Even if I can't help with the actual construction work, I know that I could take my guitar along and sing with the kids....heaven on earth for me!

So, let's keep on dreaming, my friend. It keeps hope alive in our hearts.

Love and prayers for all,
Jan

dear friends,

i miss her already
thank you GOD
another day in bed for me

my baby girl and me!!!!

dear jan

there is a special sense
of oneself when entranced
in work for others
the rewards in return
speechless at times
those moments are
what i look for
i had no clue the love of
my grandchild is of pure
rich thick yummy LOVE
that everlasting kind
my daughter Saraeve
in South Carolina
living her bliss
she went as a helper
just to be involved
in any capacity
a woman who has
been through two brain
surgeries
had her occipital lobe
removed with the hope
that her seizures would
subsided
not the case and years
later had the DOCTORS
SAY
couldn't do anymore
just needed to hear my
voice and her sisters
she was having a
how much i LOVE my
family
point in all her fears
she has made it possible
to make it
LIVING HER BLISS
IN ALL HER DIVERSITIES
AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE 23
when it showed itself
as she was special
we laugh now
but everyday from
one of her head doctors
she has been seen eye
dentist just to mention
a few most common thought
anyhow she is my HERO
married now
she still called mamma
can't wait to see her
but she is working now
learning back into life
oh thank you precious
God she has worked hard
getting a seat
all new to me
watch over her
no seizures
would be nice

i trust in you Jesus

to all a blessed day

my Olie i miss you
watch over all

Hi Jan
 

I hope you get to do the missionary work. For sure that is selfless in what you want to do. In my case this time, I am thinking of myself. I do have pain, but sure not as much as the rest of you all on NT. for the most part, with meds, and lotions I get by. I was an avid horsebackrider, Yep, did open jumping, barrel racing in MO. I am am old farm girl really. Tomorrow I am going riding in the gulf of Mexico, you swim with the horses. There are others in the group who are disabled. Some have fusions more severe than my own and they make it safe. My ankles and shot, so no foot prompts, horse must take knee comands, and my hands won't hold the reins right, so I need to neck rein with one hand. I wonder if after 17 years, I will remember anything at all.
I may just sit on top of his back stand in the water and cry, I have no idea!
Yes this may be pushing, but the neuro cleared me. This is just doing something one last time that you sincerely love about this good old earth. Horses are wonderful creatures. Some of Gods beauties for sure. Prayers are accepted tomorrow at 3:30 to keep me on top! love to all asap ginnie:hug::grouphug::wink:

another someone who cares
about the horses
ginnie i am sure as sure can be
if you speak of your experience
doesn't matter the horse is the least
of your energy should be on the
opportunity to do it again
trust yourself
like swimming
and feel your passion
with that animal that will
be loved in your presence
go with love

someone who cares

more to come!

A Day of fun with the horses you love.
 

Oh Bonnie
I am so excited for you. I bet you don't sleep much tonight thinking about your time with the horse in the water. I've only ridden horses a few times in my life and only at stables where the horses are trained for inexperienced riders. I remember as a young child going for a trail ride with my Dad. He was a proper reserved military man and I never imagined he could ride a horse; especially in his late 50's. Boy could he ride and we had a fun afternoon even though I got bucked off! Never rode much except to take our sons out a few times. One of my fondest memories was riding on the beach.
I hope you have the best time and it all comes back to you. I imagine its like riding a bike you never forget.

:hug: Sandy Kay

Wow, Ginnie!!
 

How fun!! I bet you'll have a blast riding horses. And in the water--how cool! You will do just fine. You'll feel the wonderful energy from that amazing creature, and it will all come back to you. We want a full report afterward, and pics if possible!! LOL!! Have a great time, my friend....I'm so happy for you!!

Hugs n' hugs,
Jan :hug:

toes
