Praying for those we Love.

This time of year makes you feel really grateful for all you have. You have to remind yourself constantly of the silver lining in the not so fun things that occur on a day to day basis. I find myself constantly adding someone to my list of prayers. The girl I workout with told me she prays for all her people while she cleans houses. Although, I find myself praying when I am driving, if not for the person who just had an accident then all those who I encounter throughout the day. It's amazing how somethings constantly happen to the same people. Yet, their spirit continues to remain intact (for as much as they can hold on to).

Anyway, if you find yourself reading this, please say a prayer for some my friends and family who at the moment are having tough times or seem to always get the short end of the stick. I hope their 2009 brings better things for them.

I will just use initials.

DG- who moved both her elderly parents to Arlington from Florida, One with Cancer and the other barely able to get around. Yet fighting to keep that smile on her face.
AJ- who recently lost her job, for reasons which are not right.
SV-- for getting her stuff in order and out of the depression she has fallen into
CF-- who yesterday had 3 of her family members in the hospital for all different reasons.
BW- she needs the strength to get pass this year, heal her within and prepare her for her husbands surgeries next year.
KN-- whose five year old had to have 3/4 of his finger removed due to an infection.
MS-- pray he finds a job soon, I know there is one out there for him.
WJ-- his father just passed away this past week.

I am sure there are more, but this is just for right now.

Bless us, O Lord, and bless the time and seasons yet to come. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. And fill this new year with your kindness, that we may be glad and rejoice all the days of our life.
