Sing the wondrous love of Jesus;
sing his mercy and his grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
he'll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the victory!
2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
clouds will overspread the sky;
but when traveling days are over,
not a shadow, not a sigh.
(Refrain)
3. Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving every day;
just one glimpse of him in glory
will the toils of life repay.
(Refrain)
4. Onward to the prize before us!
Soon his beauty we'll behold;
soon the pearly gates will open;
we shall tread the streets of gold.
(Refrain)
Amen
Bless you, sweetie. This is for you.
Stand as a Witness
by Amy Benson Lacey
If you ask me what I believe
I will tell you how I've come to know
That my Heavenly Father loves me
And as I trust in the Savior I can be whole.
Though I don't know all things
I know who I am.
I'm a daughter, a child of God.
Through the Spirit, I feel a power so real
That gives me the faith to stand strong.
I will stand as a witness in all times and places,
For I know that my Savior is counting on me
To stand as His witness and build up the kingdom.
I know blessings unmeasured are waiting for me
If I can endure and live worthy to be
The servant, the daughter I promised the Lord I would be.
Through His prophets here on earth
I believe God shows the way.
In a dark and searching world
I will stand as a light in these latter days.
If you want to know too
If you'll search for the truth
You can feel what I feel.
You will know that it's real.
I will stand as a witness.
For my Savior is counting on me.
Dr Joseph Fins on CNN w/Lou Dobbs 3/24
He claims the doctor who says she has a form of consciousness has "a mix of ideology and diagnostic effort
which comes from his fundamentalist belief."
He says I think it's important to maintain the integrity of the diagnosis first", as if you can separate your morals from your actions??
His big worry was for HIMSELF: Now he has to worry, "are they going to believe what I have to say the next time I have to tell a family their relative is pvs?"
"God, comfort Terri & her family tonight and somehow let them all feel the love YOU have for them... thank you for my prayer warrior friends in here & all over the internet... grant us all mercy, peace & the assurance that you are in control & still sitting on your throne. And thank you for reminding us that one day, EVERY knee shall bow before you - the King of kings & Lord of lords... amen."
WHATEVER IS HAPPENING INSIDE THAT HOSPICE OR INSIDE THE COURTHOUSE OR INSIDE THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION OUR GOD IS IN CONTROL. AMEN.
Amen.

This says it all.
As much as I hate to leave this fellowship, I must. I've been up praying and faxing and emailing on Terri's behalf since 5:00 this morning and am about to fall out of my chair! As I drift off to sleep, I will be singing in my heart all the wonderful hymns of faith and recalling the beautiful prayers shared by so many tonight. May the Lord bless and keep you, and may He wrap His loving arms around our dear Terri His Beloved and her grieving family.
I've been here for the last three to four days. I have gotten nothing done all week. No laundry, nothing. I get on her early and got to bed at 1 am. I stayed away for a few months but this has me back here again.
I was here like this non-stop during the shootings in MD/VA because my sisters are there. You meet a lot of nice freepers during the crisis times.
No word from Whittmore. State Police thing was pulled, evidently false.
Don't feel too shy.
God uses us in how he knows it will work. He gets me to write prayers to make sure that I pray (He's sneaky that way!)
I adore thee, O Christ,
who chose to come among us,
taste the dust that you had created,
experience the poverty of the working man,
see the yearning of an unfed people,
know the joy of the wedding feast,
feel the grief of those who lose their loved ones,
see our greed,
our pettiness
our anger,
our selfishness,
and still, that night in Gethsemane,
beneath the full moon's light,
alone in the shadows,
knowing our faults,
you chose to bear our sins,
you, sinless, clean, pure,
so that we might live.
Forgive us, Lord, for our hardness of heart,
our lack of appreciation
of the miracle of your life,
and lead us at last home with you.
Amen.
I always think about that, as I pray before I sleep...and I can never seem to stay awake an hour to pray before that happens.
I fear I must go to bed as well it is almost midnight here. I will see you all tomorrow.
Good night, shezza. Sleep well!
Good night. Others will take over for you and others will also join the thread throughout the late hours and into the morning.
Without the prayers you'd probably be in thread alone. We pray on these threads often.
I am starting to think he is going to sleep on it again. : (
Amen! Lord, I agree! You are the One Eternal God---Immortal, Invisible, God always wise. You never forsake Your children. We lift up hearts of praise to You for all You are doing as we wait for Your answers which shall surely come. Blessed is the Name of the Lord, Most High. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
You are so right, my friend!
