Polly, these Words are for your dear sister, Marilyn:

He will raise her up on eagle's wings,
Bear her on the breath of dawn
Make her shine like the sun
And hold her in the palm of His Hand:

On Eagles Wings (Click here)

Prayers, Polly, for what you are going through,
and BLESSINGS for Marilyn - about to be comforted
In the Holy Arms of Jesus,
When he utters the words,
"Welcome home my beautiful Marilyn...........welcome Home!"

Dear Polly. You and your family are in my prayer.

I am so sad to see that Marilyn is leaving this life. I am so happy that God gave her to you for another seven weeks.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and comfort you.

Hugs

I didn't think to tell her that they would grow new ones. LOL

I think she wants to try esca snails. * grin * I may be forced to quit giving her goodnight kisses.

Amy - do NOT tell Marissa, that some escargot
have their own little 'scooter',
And will ESCAPE from the dish
(with the melted butter and garlic,)
And, that dangerous fork - that comes towards them!

(Leaving all their little brothers and sisters
to succumb to the wrath of the human palate.)

A Lesson In Crying
September 21, 2011

Has your heart ever been broken? What broke it? Cruelty? Failure? Unfaithfulness? Loss? Perhaps you’ve crept into the darkness to cry.

It’s good to cry. “Tears are the only cure for weeping,” said Scottish preacher George MacDonald. A little crying does one good.

Jesus wept at His friend Lazarus’ grave (John 11:35), and He weeps with us (v.33). His heart was broken as well. Our tears attract our Lord’s lovingkindness and tender care. He knows our troubled, sleepless nights. His heart aches for us when we mourn. He is the “God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation” (2 Cor. 1:3-4). And He uses His people to comfort one another.

But tears and our need for comfort come back all too frequently in this life. Present comfort is not the final answer. There is a future day when there will be no death, no sorrow, no crying, for all these things will “have passed away” (Rev. 21:4). There in heaven God will wipe away every tear. We are so dear to our Father that He will be the one who wipes the tears away from our eyes; He loves us so deeply and personally.

Remember, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matt. 5:4).

Think of a land of no sorrow,
Think of a land of no fears,
Think of no death and no sickness,
Think of a land of no tears. —Anon.

God cares and shares in our sorrow.

Read: Revelation 21:1-7

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. —Matthew 5:4
Bible in a year:
Ecclesiastes 7-9; 2 Corinthians 13

Pretty in Pink

Pretty in pink
On ladies it's fine
But on a man
It's not a crime

Dressed in pink
Not baby blue
When your baby girl
Comes home with you

Choose a pink shirt
Instead of plain white
Wear something new
Men have the right

Real men eat quiche
Real men will cry
And a pink shirt
Real men can buy

Pretty in pink
What do you think
Suppose he’s handsome
And gives you a wink

Something you should know about Tears In Heaven Lyrics

Title: Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven lyrics

Artist: Eric Clapton Lyrics

“Tears In Heaven”

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there’ll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

___________________________________________________________

A great song about tears ...

our most tender part is best expressed with tears,
tears of joy,

tears of hope,

tears of love,

tears of faith,

tears of wonder,

tears of relief,

tears of exultation!

Babies do it best ...

we know immediately how they feel by their tears.

Tears are a great stress reducer.

I see the little white spider! Do you think they can bite like the black spiders? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a white spider!!

Several people had posted roses on Monday and then yesterday, there was a couple of roses, so I looked in my files for roses. And its always nice to find one with its own frame. I didn’t wanna frame yesterday....LOL!

Barbara and Jim just stopped on their way out and it was so sad. I told them “I wished I was going.” They were supposed to leave about 11:00 so I was surprised to see them but glad.

Jim and his wife live in Tampa and have for years. They found her a very nice place about a stone’s throw from where they live. Jimmy has a lovely view of Tampa Bay and Barbara will be able to see it too. They will take wonderful care of Barbara and she will want for nothing.

Barbara and I flew to Tampa a few years ago to visit them and they sure know how to show visitors a great time. I truly enjoyed it. Barbara has been many times but I’ve only been once.

And what do we think about “Solyndra” taking the 5th amendment in the hearings this Friday? I know why....because if they told what they knew Obama for sure will lose his job. It was a crooked deal all the way. Can you imagine giving that company a 5 million dollar plus loan and a few months later, they went belly-up?? Something stinks here for sure.

The FBI has carried hundreds and hundreds of boxes out of that company. I saw it again on t.v. this morning.
