Tell Isaac that Father Joe Healy died a year ago.

Hey folks,

Just a reminder, if you're wondering where I've been, I'm to be found on Facebook as Jenn Thomas McWhorter, and on my own blog at http://www.thehodgepodge.us . My blog is also syndicated here on LJ at http://syndicated.livejournal.com/jennshodgepodge/

Hope everybody's doing well!

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."

Mother Teresa

Six years, and every one better than the last. Wow, is all I can say.

Today was a celebration of life for us. Six years ago, both of us were lost and buried in depression and pain. It's been a long hard haul sometimes, but still the time has flown by, and today I have a husband who I see smiling and laughing the majority of the time. A husband who makes ME laugh and smile most times.

A husband who treats me with dignity, with respect, with so much love that sometimes I am overwhelmed and overawed by the sheer depth and strength of his emotion for me.

God put the two of us together, and it was the best gift He has ever given me, with two exceptions, my wonderful daughters. And they're not better.. just different.

My heart is overflowing with love, with gratitude, with .. I don't know. It's just amazing.

Thank you for the last six years, Sam. May we have many more decades to love and be loved by each other. :)

Let this be your prayer..I AM FORGIVEN!..You may not be perfect, but you're not STUCK..No one can go back and remind you of your past mistakes, you can now move on with the rest of your life, you don't owe anyone anything. You can pull the pieces of yourself together. Don't lay down and die..LOOK UP AND LIVE..Now, get up and walk!

G o to God in prayer every day

R ead the Bible daily

O bey God all the time

W itness for Christ by what you say and do

T rust God for all things

H oly Spirit - allow Him to give you strength

From the Ministry of Healing and Wholeness:

Holy Spirit's love for us is deeper than we can ever imagine. His forgiveness and healing for us far greater possible for us than we could ever know. The thief comes to steal kill and destroy, but Jesus comes that we may have life and that more abundantly. His life overflows with the richness of His mercy. He is majestic in power and infinite in wisdom. Praise God for total healing and deliverance!

When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words, than my words be without heart!
