I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!

Hi Nikki,

I will be thinking of you tomorrow and will say a prayer that the day isn't too rough on you and hubby.

((((Nancy)))):-x thank you so much. I can't explain it, but I feel like there is a load of bricks on my chest. Even now, I feel on the verge of bursting out crying. It is hard to breath--and we are the lucky ones.

Thank you, thank you--you can't believe how much your post means to me.

May the God of all comfort let you know His arms are wrapped around you.

Nellie - love your post.

All languages have numbers and mathematics at their base. The evidence of God's design is everywhere. Random cosmic explosions of some mysterious past could not possibly produce such beauty in a number sequence.

Thank you for posting. :-x

Nikki, Hugs from all of us.:-x You have been such a good friend to me, I wish I could make life easier for you tomorrow.

[survivornikki]

I am a bit ashamed of how emotional the anniversaries make me. I know we are the lucky ones.

Thank you all, your generosity makes me cry.

For nikki. . .and others impacted by today's anniversary



Too blessed to be stressed.

[survivornikki]

Thank you.:-x

DD said that last year there were low clouds over Manhattan and the memorial light beams looked like they reached right up to Heaven. This year there is fog and now what she sees out her window is just a lovely glowing light and she finds that fitting too.

Hope everyone had a blessed day.

Nikki....

We are just about to leave for 'MLMville'...

I'm taking my camera and hopefully we can get somme good pictures for you. Sure wish we could 'teleport' you there.

Have a blessed Wednesday :-x

Too blessed to be stressed.

[survivornikki]

TOB and MLM--have a wonderful time together. Two of my favourite people together.:-x

Speaking of favourite people--Hi Christine!

And Nellie too--that is awesome. (LOL--I opened my eyes after I saw the circle, so had to reread directions and do it again.)

[tough_old_bird]

Nellie...amazing. :-x

Nikki, Christine, Nancy.....I really hate to tell you this but you missed quite the lunch! There were 5 of us and we had some good chuckles (and then some). Hopefully next time. Barkyd came and had coffee with us the last hour (we sat there till 4ish)..."You women sure can talk". Really? Us? Noooo.....LOL

There really are some lovely CTS women out there. I feel blessed. 😄

Nikki, I need an email addy to send these pics to (Yes, I got permission from all there). I'm still in Barkyville and can't access my address book. Thanks lovey. :-x

[thetickletrunk]

Morning all!

[spendmama]

Good morning, Christine . . .

OMG that's exactly who He is, Marion.;-)

TOB. . . yes, these board is full of awesome people . . . among lurkers and regular posters alike.

I've been a bit discouraged lately (not dragged down depressed or anything like that) but I guess it's more disappointed really. DS left for school two weeks ago and we haven't heard a word...none...zip....nada as to whether he's made it there or not, how registration went, how life is going in general. Well, I know he's made it there OK because he left here with his GF, so I'm sure if something happened along the way and she didn't get home, her parents would've been calling us. I'm too stubborn to call him. There's absolutely no reason he can't call home - he has a cellphone (that we pay for). Yet, we continue to provide for his needs - the school has my credit card #, he has a gas card and a credit card that gets paid automatically every month and lots of friends & relatives around the area who has his wellbeing in mind (and I'm sure would call us if anything is wrong!). I continue to be patient and wait on him.

From this experience I draw a spiritual lesson that reminds me how God is always being patient with me. In my busyness and enjoying life, sometimes I neglect my devotional time and communicating with Him. . . yet He continues to love me and takes care of me. Eventually, I remember Him and what He's done for me and call on Him. . .and He never rags on me and tell me 'yeah! what do you want? you only call when you want something!' - I'll try to remember that!!

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11

But sonny better remember 'mommy' soon because I am not God - I am so human! and my patience wears thin.X-( I know, I know. . .hubby says just call him already.

Well, better get on with my day.

Too blessed to be stressed.
