When my life has reached its very end, And I take that final breath; I
want to know I've left behind, Some "good" before my death.
I hope that in my final hour, In all honesty I can
say: That somewhere in my lifetime, I have brightened someone's day.
That maybe I have brought a smile To
someone else's face, And made one moment a little sweeter While they dwelled here in this place.
Lord, please
be my reminder And whisper softly in my ear ... To be a "giver," not a "taker," In the years I have left here.
Give
to me the strength I need, Open up my mind and my soul That I might show sincere compassion, And love to others before
I go.
For if not a heart be touched by me, And not a smile was left behind ... Then the life that I am blessed
with, Will have been a waste of time.
With all my heart, I truly hope To leave something here on earth ... That
touched another, made them smile And gave to my life ... worth. ~ Author Unknown
The Letter "C"
I'm lying here in bed tonight, Wondering if everything will be all right. See, I have this stuff in
my breast, And they keep doing test after test. Dr's are trying to get me ready for the big day, Will they get it
all? Will they make it go away? All of these questions linger in my mind, Why in me, did this they have to find? I
don't understand, I keep asking why?? Will I live? Will I die??? I worry all the time, I can't sleep, I can't eat. I
wonder if this thing I can beat?? I seem to shake and tremble all the time, But to all that see me, I look fine. I'm
not fine, I'm scared and I want to cry. But I don't have time, I have to fight, I have to try, To take some control
of this stuff inside me, And this stuff begins with the Letter 'C'.

Roses For My Mother
If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick
a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and
miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering
her is easy, I do it every day, but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.
Please check this box often and hold these people up in your
prayers. Also, please do send your own prayer requests to be posted here so that we can all pray for each other.

Care for the Caregiver
Take a flower to a Caregiver Today!
All too often, when a family has been faced with cancer or other terminal illness, there is one person who takes on the
full-time job of caring for this patient. This person has literally put his or her life on hold for the moment, in order to
make sure that the patient has the best quality of life possible for the time that they have left. And sadly, because
of all the fear, the stress, and the 'upsets', this person is frequently overlooked by all. If you know someone who is
caring for a terminally ill person, then take them a flower or a bouquet of flowers and let them know that someone cares for
the caregiver, too.
A friend of our family sent me this scripture when he found out that I had cancer.
If you have any other scriptures, or quotes, please do send them to me, and I will display them here.
ECCLESIASTES 3:11 "HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME."
I would like to take this time to express sincere thanks to "Mary's Little Lamb" for the teddy bear graphics. That is
a wonderful site and there is a link to it at the bottom of the page. Please do go and visit the site. You will be glad
you did!
