In an E-mail I received.

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words: Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. Love, Meredith We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note: Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love. Love, God Such a loving Mother to teach her daughter about God . So many Parents don't bother. I wonder if God will will think about them On judgement day?

A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime

I receive e-mails from GodVine.com and would like to share with one of them with you. So read on, so inspirational:
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . . Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I hope you have understanding of this message, I do!

How I feel !!!!

Its' That Time To Catch Up1

Well, Well, Well it looks to me That we need to keep an eye on our Senate and Congressmen. So I am going to post a web site that tells who votes for or against a policy. For instance The Coalition for Medicare Choices: The address to Vote Tracker is www.medicarechoices.org See how your politician did.
Copy and paste if need be. The new health care reform law includes cuts to Medicare Advantage (MA) that will have a significant impact on millions of seniors who currently depend on this coverage option. These cuts are the largest the program has ever seen: more than $200 billion in cuts. The reduction in funding may lead to higher premiums and limit the choices and benefits that seniors currently rely on through their MA plans. Is this fair? Not only do they NOT get a raise for the last two years, but now this. It up sets me very much many of these people fought in wars and their wives took care of their children and worked to pay their keep and taxes while their husbands were away at war. These people paid tax after tax. Why expect them to have to pay for all the damages done today? Go after big companies that went over seas. Go after the oil companies STOP Their Tax Breaks. American government does not seem to care about the elderly it's like lets kill them off this way we won't have to pay them at all. I don't see The Senate or the house taking a cut in pay or giveing up some of their perks. Come get real. I only wish I could get someones else opinion on this matter be no one will read it so I am off again Later maybe happer time. God Bless and have a great day.
