Conor, have you made contact today, with your Neice in Japan?
To: yorkie
Made contact with her husband - he's a Master Chief in the Navy. His ship is being deployed to assist in the aid effort. Yokosuka, where they live, is south of Tokyo. Apparently there are no space available places available on Military aircraft - not sure at this time whether they will be able to get out. All we can do is wait and send forth our prayers.

GOD'S CAKE
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter. "How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! "
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

Top o the Day to all the Amy's Place folk of Irish Kindred spirit~
So many here are hurting. Emotionally, physically, mentally & spiritually. My prayer is for peace, strength & healing to you my friends. Life can be very overwhelming sometimes and I have no “magic” answers but do know my strength and help comes from my creator, when I remember to give him control (not easy for me)
Well, hope your day is going to be doing something you enjoy and will put a smile on your face. I will be watching tonight before bed the movie Fairytale once again. Sweet story (based on fact theoretically in England in early 1900s) Harry Houdini was one of the characters. Plan to go to the annual parade. I only go if temps are warm & it is not raining. So that means I don't go often. Good day here however.
Don't forget to wear something green. Here are a few ideas.

Becoming A Go-To Person
March 17, 2011
Would you pray for my sister? the burly worker asked awkwardly. I eyed him suspiciously.
Months earlier, muggy August heat intensified emotions in the pre-strike atmosphere of the assembly plant where I was working that summer. Managers drove production at a frenzied pace and union members resisted. During breaks, we were coached by union officials on slowing down our output. My faith and idealism got me in the doghouse because I didnt think God would accept anything but my best effort. I naively tried to explain.
My co-workers response was harassment, and this burly worker asking for prayer had been the ringleader. An undesirable task? I got the assignment. Off-color jokes had me as the star.
So now I greeted this prayer request with suspicion. Why me? His answer jarred me: Because shes got cancer, he said gruffly, and I need someone God will hear. The bitter rancor between us eased as I prayed for his sister.
Like the centurion in Luke 7, people in the storms of life dont waste time or mince words. They go directly to the people whose faith theyve tagged as real. We need to be those people. Do our lives mark us as a go-to person in touch with God?
We give to others what they need
No greater help and care
Than when we intercede for them
And bear them up in prayer. D. De Haan
Even the hardest of souls might ask for help
when someone they love is at risk.
Read: Luke 7:1-10
When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.
Luke 7:3
