From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA
- 03/22/11 - "Prayer Request":
![]() ![]() According to the weather reports, it is my understanding that it is 122 degrees in Iraq right now - and the low will be 111! Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance, and safety. If it be God's will, give these men and women the strength they need to prevail. I am sorry but I am not breaking this one.....Let us pray. Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it... Please send this on after a short prayer.
Prayer
"Lord, please hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen." Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world. There is nothing attached.... Just send this to all the people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you, please....Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine & others deployed in harm's way, Prayer is the very best one!!!!!
In interviews, I have often heard military people name this as
their best gift. They did not get to sit in an air conditioned
sanctuary yesterday and hear the songs of praise nor experience
the power and moving of the Holy Spirit. Please don't forget
them in your prayers and don't neglect sending this on.
Thanks, Joyce - and AMEN!

It's nice to know that some schools are still having music in the
elementary level. Bless the teacher who wrote, staged and most importantly had it sung and recorded. Just beautiful ! After all the bad
press over a few teachers who stepped out of line teaching songs to our
children, this one is one you will be so proud to hear. At the end of
the song you can order the sheet music. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=5pfBUUZNbFM
Thank you, Glenn!

- 03/22/11 - "The Invisible Mother":
It isn't
Mother's Day yet but this felt like a gift when I received it and I
want to share it with all the Invisible Mothers and Grandmothers !
The Invisible Mother: It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the phone?' Obviously not; no one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no one can see me at all. I'm invisible. The Invisible Mom. Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more! Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this?? Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm a clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order, 'Right around 5:30, please.' Some days I'm a crystal ball; 'Where's my other sock?, Where's my phone?, What's for dinner?'
I was certain that these were the hands that once
held books and the eyes that
studied history, music and literature -
but now, they had disappeared into the
peanut butter, never to be seen again.
She's going, she's going, she's gone!
One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a friend from England. She had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well. It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself. I was feeling pretty pathetic, when she turned to me with a beautifully wrapped package, and said, 'I brought you this.' It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn't exactly sure why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription: 'With admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees. In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I could pattern my work: 1) No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we have no record of their names. 2) These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished. 3) They made great sacrifices and expected no credit. 4) The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything. A story of legend in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by the roof, No one will ever see it.
And the workman replied, 'Because God sees.'

From Tina Crowder Adderholdt ('65) of NC - 03/22/11 - "SMELLS LIKE RAIN! THIS IS
AWESOME!!":
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! You may have
read this before, but it is just so wonderful........
SMELLS LIKE RAIN! THIS IS AWESOME!! http://living-testimony.blogspot.com/2006/10/heaven-scent-story-of-diana-blessing.html:
A cold March wind danced around the dead of
night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of
Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David,
held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That
afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only
24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's
new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing.
Thanks so much, Tina!

Cultivate Your Inner Oasis
By Janet Nestor
Inner Oasis is a term I
coined ten or more years ago to help my clients and class participants
create a lush, rich imagery of their core self. Our Inner Oasis is our
soul-self, our inner wisdom, our inner joy and our innermost source of
pure, unconditional love. It is ever replenishing, ever nurturing, ever
there to support our journey and guide our life. "Though no one can
go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a
brand new ending" - Carl Bard |

FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 03/22/11:
After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed
all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three
times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up
in a Christian home and I wanted to stay with you guys." |

A Thousand Stars
Written by Eugene Pearson
Recorded by
Kathy Young and The Innocents
(b. 21 Oct 1945)
A thousand stars in the sky like the stars in your eyes
They say to me that there’ll never be
No other love like you-oo for me-e-e
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I’ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once more (once more, once mo-o-ore)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren’t telling me lies
You’re with me tonight, I’m captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby, won’t you hold me in your arms?
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I’ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once more (once more, once mo-o-ore)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren’t telling me lies
You’re with me tonight, I’m captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby, won’t you hold me in your arms?
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I’ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once mo-o-re (I-I-I’m yours)
