TO MY DEAR KATHLEEN 5-1-2015 It has been 11 years today that you passed away and the moment you died my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache, and the other died with you. I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and I take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that will never go away. I hold you tightly with in my heart and there you will remain, until the Joyous day arrives, That we will be together again. (Author Unknown) I love and miss you so very much and I always will your Mother
POEM God made me different A POEM FOR MY DAUGHTER KATHLEEN God made me different,
I was born to a mother and a father.
A mother who loved me,
but a father who was afraid of me.
Now I'm grown up still with a mother who loves me
but I have no father he ran away to make another mother.
I have a sister who lives with me
and I had a brother before me but now deceased.
I Saw him in my last moment,
I felt my neices give me a kiss Good-bye.
Now I watch them from above Hoping I will see them again,
But I do, I see them everyday.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone; for a part of us went with you. The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

DIVINE MERCY Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
A little extra information for you. About Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar. Occurring 46 days before Easter, it is a movable fast that can fall as early as February 4 and as late as March 10. This year 2014 it is March 5 with Easter being April 20th.
Found the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke; Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by Satan. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting or abstinence. Of the 46 days until Easter, six are Sundays. As the Lords Day, Sundays are not included in the fasting period and are instead "feast" days during Lent.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes usually mixed with olive oil, on the foreheads of adherents as a celebration and reminder of human mortality, and as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered from the burning of the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday usually mixed with some olive oil.
Ashes were used in ancient times to express mourning. Dusting oneself with ashes was the penitent's way of expressing sorrow for sins and faults. An ancient example of one expressing one's penitence is found in Job 42:3–6
Job says to God: "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. The other eye wandereth of its own accord. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." (vv. 5–6, KJV). The prophet Daniel recounted pleading to God this way: "I turned to the Lord God, pleading in earnest prayer, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes" (Daniel 9:3).
Other examples are found in several other books of the Bible including, Numbers 19:9, 19:17
, Jonah 3:6, Matthew 11:21, and Luke 10:13, and Hebrews 9:13 Ezekiel 9
also speaks of a linen-clad messenger marking the forehead of the city inhabitants that have sorrow over the sins of the people. All those without the mark are destroyed.
It marks the start of a 46-day period which reminds one of the separation of Jesus in the desert to fast and pray. During this time He was tempted. Found in Matthew 4:1–11 , Mark 1:12–13, and Luke 4:1–13
