Today is a sad day for me....

As I listened to “I Surrender All”, this morning I wept. I thought of the phone call I got yesterday from an old dear friend, whom I haven’t spoken with for a long, long time.

She was left nearly dibilitated after back surgery and removal of a large portion of her lower intestine. During her illness, her husband (of over 25 years) left her for a much younger, healthier female. He left her destitute.

She is now living in her car, and is given a mere $108 a month in food stamps. She is too old (and weak) to get a job, and too young for Medicare.

I pray that she “Surrenders ALL” and can pull through the ‘rocky road’ she is on, and be strong and proud, once again.

If anyone reads this, would you just say a little prayer for Mary? (The Lord will know who she is.) Thank you.

What awful news from your friend. I pray that Mary can stay strong (as possible in her condition) and that the Lord will
hear her plea for mercy and take care of her needs.

Prayers Up for Mary

[jaycee]

This breaks my heart, yorkie. Dear Lord, please wrap your arms around Mary and give her strength and health to go on. Only you Lord are able to perform miracles. Mary needs a real miracle. We thank you, Father, and we give You the Praise. Amen.

(Yorkie, I bet the illegals aren’t suffering....they have more money coming in from the government than the rest of us.) Makes my blood boil sometimes. ((((HUGS))))

*Good Morning To Amy's Place*

An Old Woman of the Roads
by Padraic Colum (1881-1972)

O, to have a little house!
To own the hearth and stool and all!
The heaped up sods upon the fire,
The pile of turf against the wall!

To have a clock with weights and chains
And pendulum swinging up and down!
A dresser filled with shining delph,
Speckled and white and blue and brown!

I could be busy all the day
Clearing and sweeping the hearth and floor,
And fixing on their shelf again
My white and blue and speckled store!

I could be quiet there at night
Beside the fire and by myself,
Sure of a bed and loath to leave
The ticking clock and the shining delph!

Och! but I'm weary of mist and dark
And roads where there's never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush!

And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house, a house of my own,
Out of the wind's and the rain's way
***
Counting My Blessings
Thinking of Yorkie's Friend Mary And Those Who Have Lost Their
Homes In The Storms.

O Lord, we pray for Mary, she is experiencing hard times, and perhaps alone. Let not her heart be bitter. Let her see there are others worse off than she; and she might help by being volunteer in a needed place. It would help her see your work in action, and get her mind off herself. Forgive her, and show thy grace to Mary.. I pray that she knows and loves thee, she needs thy help today, Lord, in Jesus name amen.

Nothing helps another so much as getting their mind off them selves and the pity pot they are sitting on all day.

‘I need thee every hour I need thee ...’

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need thee, oh, I need thee, every hour I need Thee
I need thee, I need thee, I need Thee every hour

I need Thee every hour in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide or life is in vain
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee, every hour I need Thee
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/i-need-thee-every-hour-lyrics-jars-of-clay.html ]

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee
I need Thee every hour, teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Oh I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour
I need Thee, I need Thee, I need Thee every hour

Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee”

I want to thank each of you for your kind prayers for my friend Mary. When the time is right, I will make sure she sees your posts, and knows she has friends she never even knew about, and prayers sent up - just for her! ((((HUGS to you ALL!))))
