Hello, Miss I Ain't Finished Yet, by the way I love your phiolosphy...thank you so much for the kind words and prayers. Glad to hear you got to see your son. His experience touched my heart but I am so happy to hear he got his second chance. I believe that all things happen for a reason, and sometimes it takes us years down the road to understand those reasons. I so much enjoyed the prayer and wrote it in my journal. May God continue to bless you and yours, Love, Peace, Hope & Prayers, Pat

I know. . . 'there by the grace of God goes my son'. After graduation, I bought him a car, and he was at his dad's drinking. . . gave me a call and told me that he was going to the University to register and then come by my home. Knowing that he had been drinking by his speech I told him to stay there and do it tomorrow. He didn't listen, and less than 3 hours later, I received a call from the hospital. He lost a full-ride academic scolarship, the car was totaled, and he had thousands to pay out. Through my encouragement, he entered the Air Force 10 days before my diagnosis. He told me that when he lost the scholarship and his dream of becoming an Attorney was lost forever, due to that 1 mistake. He's excelling the the military, and I assured him that it's only a 'dream deferred'. > > To my sister & brother survivors, as always you are in my prayers. My son reminded me of the following prayer that I have had since 1972, it is as follows: > > > PRAYER FOR HEALTH & HEALING > > Dear Father in heaven to whom All men lift their faces, make me quiet in this time of prayer that Thy loving heart may bring to me all health and all healing. > > For I have been so worried about my health, dear Father. Sometimes it just seems that sickness and worry, weariness and pain drain the very strength from my bones. > > I know Thou hast pity, loving Father, for Thou didst watch even Thine only son suffer and cry. So please help me, Thy child, in my weakness and pain. > > Truly I thank thee for thy servants, the doctors and their medicines, Father, and may they feel they are worthy disciples of the Great Physician. Please guide them so they also can do their part in bringing back health to me. > > I want to be well not only for myself, dear Lord, buy for my dear ones who need me and for Thee that I may once again go about Thy business. So please, Father of health, give me, this Thy blessing. > > And not, Father, as I close my prayer, truly I feel the warmth that is the strength of Thy spirit working within my soul and body. Truly I feel so much stronger and full of hope and I do thank Thee, my Father. I do have faith in Thee and I do look forward to thy help - and even the thought of it gives me hope and peace. > Amen > > > > > "K" > "I AIN'T FINISHED YET"!!! ------------------------ Yahoo!
