The Family
Christmas can sometimes be diificult,
and so can the New Year too,
so this is a simple message,
to say l'll be thinking of you...
God Bless you all....
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.'Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all of the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.'
.The Lord replied,
"My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your time of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Living in the past is a dull and lonely business, looking back strains the neck
and causes you to bump into people not going your way
To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders
Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have
There is no such thing as the pursuit of happiness but there is the discovery of joy
And silence like a poultice, comes to heal the blows of sound
Peace is when time doesn't matter as it passes by
Grace is when God gives us what we don't deserve; Mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve.
have in my hands two boxes which God gave me to hold. He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, and all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes both my joys and sorrows I stored. But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why. And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're all here with me." God's Boxes!
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes. Why the gold, and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."
In Time Of Grief
You promised me that your comfort would come to me in time of despair.
You promised me that if i would lean on you and call on you, I would find peace.
I come to you now filled with grief and dispair at the loss of SYDNEY WHITE. (DAD)
I am leaning on you for strength.
I am reaching out to you for comfort.
I am depending on you to help me learn how to accept this loss.
Help me, Holy Spirit.
Guide me, Holy Spirit.
Comfort me, Holy Spirit.
Give me peace. Give me peace. Give me peace.
Leaning on the promises of God, through the power and
presence of the Holy Spirit, I am now filled with
comfort and peace.
And So It Is.
Bless xxxxxx
Dad.....
When you are old and grey and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire
Take down this book and slowly read and dream
Of the soft look your eyes had once
And of soft look your eyes had once
And of their shadows deep
How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or true?
But one man loved the sorrows of your changing face
And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmured a little sadly how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars
In heaven filled with memories of you.
Dad... Love and miss you everyday
Stay Bless xXx
You have A Place In The Universe
God has a purpose for each one of us, a
Work for each one to do, a place for each one
to fill, an influence for each one to exert...
And then, a place for each one to fill in His
Holy temple...
Bless xxx
God Is There
Life is a journey
Full Of twist and turns
And hills and valleys...
But God is there
In every lonely place,
Surrounding us with angels,
Giving us strength,
Offering us hope,
Reaching out to us in love
Through the prayers
And good thoughts of others.
May God's love and wisdom
Bring you comfort and peace.
May he lead you onward
to the greener pastures
And a brighter dawn.
May the love of family and friends
Be with you forever,
And may God, who is always by your side,
Help you through everything.
Stay Blessed.
xXx
This is what I read at the Funeral.................
HELLO, MY WONDERFUL FATHER,

I FEEL TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD YOU IN MY LIFE, AND I’D LIKE TO THANK THE CREATOR FOR THAT. AND I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW MIGHT BE DIFFICULT BUT BELIEVE ME,YOU ARE IN MY EVERY THOUGHT.
SO NOW THAT IS WHERE I AM PUTTING MY TRUST, WITH THE CREATOR.
AND I AM PRAYING HARD TO THE HIM.
BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO SHARE YOU, I FEEL VERY HONOURED TO HAVE KNOWN YOU.
I HAVE ENJOYED THE TIMES WE SHARED WHEN I COME HERE, AND OVER THE YEARS YOU HAVE FILLED AN EMPTY SPACE IN MY HEART.
I KNOW THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS BE WITH ME NO MATTER WHAT.
IF I HAD ONE MORE WISH DAD, IT WOULD BE TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND YOUR LAUGH, JUST ONE MORE TIME.
SO LET US PUT OUR TRUST IN THE CREATOR AND TRUST WHATEVER WILL BE WIL BE.
Stay Forever Blessed….I love you
