Prayer for Those With Cancer

Bless, O God,
all who struggle with cancer.
Empower them with hope
for each and every day.
Provide them with loving
and tender care, laughter,
and the support of love.
Grant them
courage when they are afraid,
comfort when they are in pain,
and your blessing
when all else seems hopeless,
that in their fight with illness
they may continue to praise you
and glorify your name.
Amen.

Donovan was on his death bed. His wife Leila was maintaining bedside. She held his fragile hand, tears ran down her face. Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips began to move slightly. "My darling Leila," he whispered. "Hush my love," she said. "Rest. Shhh, don't talk." He was insistent. "Leila" he said, in his tired voice. I have someting to confess to you." "You have nothng to confess"No, no, I have to die in peace love. "I sleep with your sister, your best friend and your mother." "Me know," answered Leila, "That's why me poison you." ))

Prayer for One Who Contemplates Suicide

O God of eternal life,
bless all who contemplate
taking their own life.
Grant them peace
from the internal fears and doubts,
from the turmoil of failures,
from the pain and suffering
in their souls.
Endow them with hope
for the days ahead,
courage to make new beginnings,
and love to strengthen
their resolve to live.
Amen.

are black farmers being discriminated against?

The way how I see it No white man should come into a black man country and be treated better than the black man. No ifs or butts. I have more to say but i am going to sleep on it first.

Kobojunkie:
I hope they give him the worst sentence and make him the poster boy for what will become of others arrested for such.

Out of curiosity, what do you think is the worst sentence "Hang im by his balls or his weenie"? 

Hallelujah literally means "Praise the Lord or finally depend on how you use it or in Jewish terms "Praise YHWH". Correct me if I am wrong but the Muslim equivalent for "hallelujah" is Alhamdulillah, which means "Praise Allah".

Both exclamations mean the same, to express joy of some sort for blessings received credited to God.

In conclusion, when you get up tomorrow give thanks and praise to God by saying "hallelujah".

My mom always say to me " You are not better than anyone and no one is better than you

Two Parrots

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a
problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one
thing."What do they say?" the priest inquired.

They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment.
"You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem.

I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the
Bible. Bring your two lady parrots over to my house, and we'll put
them in the cage with Frank and Jacob.

My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship,
and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time."

Thank you," the woman responded, "This may very well be the
solution."
The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house.

As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside
their cage, holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked
over and placed her parrots in with them.

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi,
we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and
exclaimed, "Put the beads away Frank, Our prayers have been
answered."

I'll go with the latter

Actually dislike isnt a strong word but "hate" is

@chika:  You had me in tears laughing. see link  below.  Let me know if you spot the word dislike. Off to see Iron Man for mother's day

A teacher gave her class of children an assignment: To get their parent
to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their
stories.

Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens.
One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat
of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken.


"What's the moral of that story?" asked the teacher.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" "Very good," said the teacher.

Next, little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are Farmers too.
But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs,
but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this
story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'."

"That was a fine story Sarah." said the teacher. "Oliver, do you have a
story to share?"

"Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Uncle Justin . Uncle Justin
was on a transport plane in the Gulf War and his plane got hit.

He had to bail out over enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of
whisky, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whisky on the way down
so it wouldn't break and then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy
troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out
of bullets. Then he killed twenty more with the machete until the blade
broke. And then he killed the last ten with his bare hands."

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did your
daddy tell you from that horrible story?"

"Stay the Bleep away from Uncle Justin when he's been drinking."

Here is a love letter.  Be sure to read it all the way to the end

1 "The great love that I have for you

2 is gone, and I find my dislike for you

3 grows every day. When I see you,

4 I do not even like your face;

5 the one thing that I want to do is to

6 look at other girls. I never wanted to

7 marry you. Our last conversation

8 was very boring and has not

9 made me look forward to seeing you again.

10 You think only of yourself.

11 If we were married, I know that I would find

12 life very difficult, and I would have no

13 pleasure in living with you. I have a heart

14 to give, but it is not something that

15 I want to give to you. No one is more

16 foolish and selfish than you, and you are not

17 able to care for me and help me.

18 I sincerely want you to understand that

19 I speak the truth. You will do me a favor

20 if you think this is the end. Do not try

21 to answer this. Your letters are full of

22 things that do not interest me. You have no

23 true love for me. Good-bye! Believe me, 

24 I do not care for you. Please do not think that

25 I am still your boyfriend."

Now go back and read ONLY the odd numbers.  For example 1.3.5.7.9.11.13, etc

@info:

Dislike Why such a strong word?

Whether you are a mommie, grandma, stepmom, godmother, aunt taking care of children as your own, May you have a blessed and special day

Prayer Before Eating

Before we eat,
We turn our attention
To the bounty before us;
We are truly thankful for this meal
And for the richness of our lives.
May this food nourish our bodies,
And the company of those we love
Nourish our spirits.

Amen.

Where I come from, You pray when you reach school, you pray leaving for lunch, you pray after lunch and you pray going home at the end of the day.

If it wasn't for prayers, I'll be a lost soul

@Cayon (f) No Sister, one does not need to have dreadlocks to be a rasta, its a divine conception of the hart just like every other faithfull believer.Jah bless !!!

Well I never see a bald head rasta. In fact I think to be a rasta you have to have dreadlocks. However, having dreadlocks don't mean you area rasta.

You lust when you married or when you are single , it's still lust

To all:

Thanks for the feed back.  I picked up a copy of the Qu'ran (Ko'ran) today but haven't open it yet.  As an FYI, I am not trying to change who I am or my religious background.  I stand firm on my Christian believes, however, I want to read the Qu'ran because I want to obtain a better comprehension of the The Is'lam Religion.

Will keep you abreast when I decide to open it and start reading

Put on the Whole Armor of God

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

- Ephesians 6: 10-17
