they put a q-tip in your eye

Sounds like that is where the scratch came from.

Thanks for including me in your explanation about your eye problem, jaycee. I sure hope the treatments work for you. Anything involving touching my eyes, let alone getting shots in them, gives me the heebeegeebee’s. But I know, you have to do what you have to do.

Amy, I just stumbled on something on my Facebook that I want to share with somebody or everybody. It is a stunningly well written piece about my adopted state. I think anyone can relate to the sentiments regardless of where they are from.

your eye ordeal sounds awful.

I avoid in general traditional medical methods.. this is one that I will put very high on my list to avoid if at all possible!

Thinking of you in Tenn.. my trips south are less frequent. Gas money just not around, but hopefully next time I see my son I can do a tri city stop & we can at least have a 4 hour lunch!!!! I am anxious to visit where I went to grad school/seminary & maybe see a few old friends. I have an “old boyfriend” in the area also & would probably see him for dinner.

Grieve Not The Spirit

January 15, 2012

If money were missing mysteriously from your wallet, you would be angry. But if you discovered that your child was the one who stole it, your anger would quickly turn into grief. One use of the word grief is to describe the sorrow we feel when those we love disappoint us.

“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God” (Eph. 4:30) essentially means not to hurt the One who loves us and is here to help us. For we read Jesus’ words in John 14:26 that the Holy Spirit is sent to us by the Father to be our Helper.

When the Holy Spirit in us is grieved by our actions or attitudes, the result can be tremendous tension. The Spirit pulls us in one direction, but the lusts of the flesh pulls us in another. Paul describes this in Galatians 5:17, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” If this continues, we may begin to feel guilty and dissatisfied with life. Soon, joy and vigor may diminish within us, only to be replaced by listlessness and lethargy (Ps. 32:3-4).

So do not grieve the Holy Spirit who was given in love to help you. “Put away” the bad choices of the flesh (Eph. 4:31), and live faithfully for God.

Holy Spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine;
Cast down every idol throne,
Reign supreme and reign alone. —Reed

The Christian’s heart is the Spirit’s home.

Read: Ephesians 4:25-32

I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. —John 14:16
Bible in a year:
Genesis 43-46

Dear Friends, I am so down in my back and hip today that I’m going to try doctoring it and may feel better later.

I sat at the computer too long because I felt so helpless to do something for our friends who were killed and our one survivor, dear Yorkie. It didn’t matter at all because it gave me some emotional strength. I usually can get myself better with a little heat and rest.

I will check the thread off and on when I can. I appreciate all of you so much and don’t you forget it....LOL!

Have a nice day and lets all keep praying for Yorkie. She needs us so much and I know we can all help her.

((((((Love and Hugs))))))

I hope you are feeling better soon, Jaycee. This has been an
emotional drain on all of us, and will be till we see Yorkie’s
name on a ping. She has so many people praying that it has to
be giving her strength.

I just sent a card. I, too, feel helpless being so far as to
not be able to go see her or do SOMETHING!

Jaycee, I am praying you will feel better.
I am in total shock right now as I just discovered our tragic loss of TiaPammy and Card.

Stay down and get well. We need you well!

It has been just the worst week. I sent you a FM trying to explain as best as I could.

there ARE no words for what we feel...but God does understand our sorrow and loss.....and will sustain us.

Oh LUV,
I just can’t stop crying. I am supposed to go get my hair done and I am not sure I will make it.
This has just sent shock waves through my system.
Last year wa so difficult for me... and yes for you and many here. I was asking God for a peaceful and joyous New Year.

This is not what I wanted. I had just emailed Yorkie three days ago, and our dear TiaPAMMY and Card....

Words fail me right now.
We don’t realize what a bond has developed between us here at FR, even though I haven’t been able to be a “ regular” here over the past months.

(((((((((((((GROUP HUGS))))))))))))))

Polly
ps thanks. I’ll go to the FM now

We have all been in total shock. I am sorry you had it hit you like this, out of the blue. Words have failed all of us....there doesn’t seem to be anything we can say that will ease the pain of losing wonderful FRiends. 4 in one week...it has just been devastating.

And then Yorkie in such pain—physically and emotionally....
