PS I put on some very soft melodious praise music that comes on right after the relaxation CD. That helps me to spend time with God and praise Him and thank him and not dwell on negative things.carol

I guess I need prayer to get a picture to come up on my little posts!! I tried one and it didn't show because it was too big. I chose one from their recommended choice list. It shows up fine in the place where I select it, but when I came over here to this forum, it doesn't show. Odd. I did post in another forum, and it showed on there. Who knows? Computers are certainly a mystery to me. I am working toward becoming a coach if that is what God has in mind. If you would pray for me in that direction, I would appreciate it. this program has helped me so tremendously that I would like to be of help to others!
Have a great day. Think positive thoughts, Praise God and whistle a Christmas Carol.
Merry Christmas!
Carol

On Monday our hired hand told us he was quitting on the 19th, one day before the day we were to leave for Christmas with mom and our kids, in Vegas. So trip cancled. I feel pretty good about my reaction, I was only dissapointed about an hour, now I am excited to see what comes next. We will be home for Christmas. I did hate to call mom and tell her knowing she would be dissapointed. but I remeinded her our dissapointments, are offten God's appointments.

We have known from the beginning Keith was not happy with this job. he lied to get it and he dosn't like it (da) I do hope he likes the job he has this time, and I pray it all works out for him and his family. Now I am on the net looking for a new hand. My husband is glad Keith has found a new place to be. He so hates to fire anyone, he has just been hoping Keith would find a job he likes for a cuple of years now. I get up each morning check the Job links. with anticipation. We are also looking at some type of partnership with one of our neighbors. but was thinking about working on that project for another 2 years at most. So do not feel to bad about finding a new hand, for at least 2 years.

This program has helped me so mcuh, to stay in the vally, on an even keel, not to far in the pit, nor to high in the rocks. I am at peace in the midst of this stome and I thank God, and all of you for lifting me up in your prayers. I so appreciate your prayers for me, my life is smoothing out,

Thank you in advance for praying for my employee search.

carol; congratilations, on a new skil learned. you are way ahead of me.

Barb G; I pray, your steps are dircted by God. and you are headed in the right direction. I can see more positive things in your posts these days. and am still praying your angels are making strate your path.

"Make life easy. If you try to live in the past life will be hard. God did not call himself "the Great I WAS."
If you try to live in the future or try to figuer out what will happen tomarrow, life will be hard. God did not call himslef "the great I Will Be".
If you will live one day at a time, this day, the day you are in now, life will be alot easier. God Did Say "I AM"
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. - Exodus 3,14 KJV

thank you for the reminder, Cheri. i have been having a tough time myself. 
unable to afford a place of my own, i have been staying with folks for as long as they can have me. my current situation is that someone has agreed to help me with the security deposit. this should make finding a place feasible. now i'm just afraid to make the leap.
i can hardly write/talk about it. i feel abandoned (past experience), uncertain, etc. I hope everything works out for you.God bless

Dear MC Grace; My heart goes out to you, for Jesus came to bind up the borken hearted.
This week my oldest grandson I have not seen in a year turns 16, last year we took him to the show "the cronicles of Narnia" for his birthday, his dad got mad and hasn't let us see him since. I know he feels abandoned, and dosn't understand he is retarted. I don't understand why!
But I am holding on to the Hope of God's Blessings on us, I know God is working things out for our good, mine and David's and his brother Terry mildly retarted. I can't see any change, I can't feel any change, but I prayed for 5 years the last time I was't allowed to see my daughter or her boys, and last year God brought my daughter out of that mess, and He is able to bring out the boys too! untll then I will keep Believing. God directs my steps, and His Glory shines in my life.

"Above all that I put on, I put on love. I clothe myself with behavior marked by mercy, tender hearted pity, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of my self, gentle ways [and] patience. I have the power to endure whatever comes with good temper. I am gentle and forbearing with others and, if I have a difference or a grievance with someone; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven me, I also forgive others. - COLOSSIANS 3:12-14

It is in the trials our mettle is tested, and we will come out as pure as gold, and fit to serve God. I Believe that, and I accept my trials, as lessons of Hope. I pray for you that God directs your steps and opens your eyes to see a glimps of his Promiss for you. for it is in the small things we can see his favor, and thus we are able to trust Him in the big things, of life. For he will not abandon us nor forsake us.
Do you keep a jurnal, or an Ebonizer jar? so you can count your blessings, as a reminder of God's everlasting Love for you, I pray God's Blessings for you in a miraculous way. '8^) Cheri.

My grandson will be 16 on the 14th and I will not see him, I don't write as he is retarded, and his Dad will not tell him who wrote or that the gift is from me. for years my son in law has black mailed me for what he wanted using my daughter and grand sons, I finaly stoped it when I saw how the boys were treated after spending time with me. This is a hard week for me. and now that my daughter is out of that house it is hard for her as he has forbiden her from seeing her sons as well. after nearly driving her crazy with his mind bending ways, she is out and alive and I am eternaly thankfull. God has alwyas protected the boys with their retardation. and I am gratefull for that too.

"I commit my family to God [I desposit them in His charge, entrusting them to His protection and care}. And I commend them to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmarited favor}. It is able to build my family up and to give us [our rightful] inharitance among all God's set-apart ones [those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul]." - ACTS 20:32

thank you for your prayers I know it is helping me to stay calm, and happy most of the time, in 2 years the boys will be old enough in their respective stages of retardation. to make up their own mindes as to who they want to live with. I am praying God will have a miricle at that time. My daughter is working hard, she is off the druges the phiciatrists was giving her so she could live [survive] with him, and saving her money to have a place for the boys to come to. I am very proud of her and so glad to have her near me again.
God Bless our respective messes.

Cheri, I'm glad that your daughter has done well and that you have such great love for your grandsons. My prayers are with you and yours.

I am prowed of me! I feel so good, I am happy even my husband has asked why are you so cheery. He dosn't believe it, I am not able to go to my Mom's for Christmas, wear our kids live now. We will be home alone for Christmas can't take my grandson to the show for his birthday. [witch he loved so much last year] still I have "Peace in the Midst of the Storm. I can't explain it. except that I know you are all praying for me, and I have a Big God I am actually excited to see what happens for Christmass, as I am sure God has orcistrated, everything that is happening. I know He directs my steps. I am loving it. The peace Jesus gives operates in good times or bad, when you are abounding or being abased. His peace operates in the middle of the storm.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Phillippians 4:7 KJV

thank you every one for your prayers, this is the best Christmas I have had in 6 years. God Bless you all
