It's really nice when people with evil intent shoot themselves in the foot!

I was just recently beginning to know Millie. In Millie's replies to my posts and in a couple emails it was apparent she had a whole new outlook. In my minds eye she nows sees everything so much more clearly than we do. When I ran into this the other day I had the feeling that she would really like this. I pray God's peace and comfort for you Ms Millie. I'm grateful to have had you in my life,however briefly.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Someone must be almost totally lacking in humanity and very sick to attack someone gravely ill and be so cruel to the person's dear and close relative. What did he or she gain? Attention? Bitter vindictive joy? An attempt to start conflict? So cowardly and how desperate can this person be to get an ego boost at the expense of their own soul. Who ever you are the prayers of friends and loved ones drown you out!

I'm sure time is weighing heavy on all of us that are waiting for good news about Millie. Sometimes you don't know how much a person means to you until an situation like this happens. I'm not over emotional, but I'm running a quart low on tears over this dear lady. So glad I asked if I could call to say hello one day as I can kind of hear her in my mind. Glad so many of you could actually give her big hugs last weekend. Millie I'm holding on tight to hope for your complete healing. A fresh candle has just been lit for you. You are well loved by so many and there is great power in all our prayers combined. Hang in there!
Love you Millie!!

I'm a day late, but this was tossed together at the last minute last night. Just a rough little collage of the seven girls first year. They were such a surprise. I went downstairs to play with Oren and heard the tiniest little sound. Muffled so you could barely hear it. Finally I picked up the sleepsack and peaked in. There was one little ET looking creature. OMG! Mary was out of town and I called her main volunteer Debbi to PLEASE come help. Thank God she did. She is now mom to one of the babies (Poppy) The first few weeks I was on the phone constantly with Bev/Tunnelrunner, Bev/UK and Kim. Bless them!! When they were old enough I sent them to Kim to find homes. I still have two of the girls and the mom Oren. I'm so happy they have such good homes thanks to Kim.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Saturday, May. 6

Acceptance is the universal currency of real friendship. . . .It does not warp or shape or wrench a person to be anything other than what they are.

I signed up for this a while back as I'm inclined to get complacent and start taking for granted the many things I should be grateful for and that includes the friendship of some of you guys :) Thank you for accepting me as I am :)
