"When life feels sad, family seems to have let you down, your friends have passed, and life just does not seem to be getting better, you can know for a fact that God loves you. Our Father, Jesus with the Holy Spirit, is not only your friend, but your advocate, and therefore you are never alone. In troubled times and good times, all moments and events indeed pass. It is a fact that when one door closes, another will open. Some say life is supposed to be simple, yet for most of us, life can be difficult. Remember: There is always someone worse off than you or me, and if we as a world can begin to reach out our hands to help another who is less fortunate, this world will become a better place. It is better to give than to receive and to treat others the way you would like to be treated. And most of all remember the very best seller, among books, has always been the Holy Bible. Consider reading this book. To keep this simple, here is an on line addition: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/alpha.htm , and it is alphabetized! It is a very good book and holds not only the truth, and true stories, it is the Word of God. And the Word of God is VERY COOL!" Take Care- Susan
Pray for those who persecute you. Love others as you would have them love you, and never, ever, ever give up. Especially when the fight is uphill. Because when the fight seems uphill, the hill will one day become a slope and everything changes. That is everything changes, except God. God never changes.
I see Christ in every person. I was touched because He said: "I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was naked, I was sick, I was suffering, I was homeless and you took care of me."

Grief can have a quality of profound healing because we are forced to a depth of feeling that is usually the threshold of awareness. - Stephen Levine
God grant me the place and space and time to grieve. Through my grief, teach me about myself. About how much there is of me. Through our grief, bring us together.

Prayer
Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury; pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair,hope; where there is darkness, light and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
