IN TUNE WITH MOTHER EARTH
LOVE Was Shown To You On 4/22/2009 3:38:59 PM  In Tune With Mother Earth   If you listen for the songbirds As they greet the summer sun, And love the way the wind can make The trees sing just for fun.  If you like to hear the ocean As it drums upon the shore, And imagine all the whales out there, And hope they'll sing some more.  If you think of all the animals As players in a band, Each with a lovely tune to play, All needed on the land.  And know that as a boy or girl A woman or a man You have a vital role to play In Mother Nature's plan.  If you honor every living thing As a part of nature's treasure You're in tune with Mother Nature So let's all sing her song together.     
SURRENDER TO YOUR HEART
LOVE Was Shown To You On 1/3/2009 8:49:22 AM  Surrender to Your Heart  "To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling Logic can tell you superficially where a path might lead to, but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it ~ Jean Shinoda Bolen ~  "Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything... even when you can not foresee the outcome ~ Deepak Chopra ~  "When you have compassion and surrender to your own heart, you are surrendering to the hidden power in your heart, God You are surrendering to love, because God is Love, the cohesive force of the universe that connects us all Surrender is not just a religious concept; it's a power tool for listening to the voice of your spirit and following its directions When you surrender your head to your heart, you allow your heart to give you a wider, higher intelligence perspective Remember the phrase, 'The real teacher is within you Very simply, that teacher is to be found in the common sense of your own heart ~ Sara Paddison ~  Consider your own life- how many times a day does some situation pop up that leads to moments of frustration and anxiety? Surrendering your head to your heart in those moments will lead you to balance and fulfillment As you listen to your spirit, peace follows So follow your spirit Build your foundation in your heart Love must be your innermost and spontaneous response towards every person you encounter Say to yourself inside, "I just love Use these words as a key to start the engine running in your heart and watch life brighten with new love and understanding Surrender to your new awareness and let love unfold the purpose of creation to you ~ Sara Paddison ~

BE CONTENT
LOVE Was Shown To You On 12/3/2008 7:27:33 PM Be Content In the shelter of His arms, When the mighty tempests roll, Comes a feeling of contentment, From deep within the soul In the whisper of the wind, As the clouds go drifting by, His peace sometimes is awesome, When you know He's by your side
In the wee, wee morning hours, While the dew is on the grass, Comes a feeling filled with love, As the Master answers back
I walk and talk with God, Every moment of every day, And listen when He speaks, To this sinner of all mankind
My soul so filled with gladness, When in His tender care, Be content and always thankful, Because God is everywhere ~ By Al Albrecht ~
SEIZE THE MOMENT!!
LOVE Was Shown To You On 11/17/2008 4:18:08 PM Seize The Moment ...  Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman I have even known Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, or don't have it on their schedule, maybe they didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.  I got to thinking one day about all those folks on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back.  From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. I cannot count the times I have called a friend and said, How about going to lunch in a half hour? She would gasp and stammer, "I can't.  here are some of her excuses, "I have clothes on the line. "My hair is dirty." "I wish I had known yesterday. "I had a late breakfast." "It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday". Because we cram so much into our lives, we live on a sparse diet of promises that we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect.  We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. Life has a way of accelerating, as we get older.  The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I plan on" and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit. When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips.  She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. It's the life that you are living that is the most wonderful creation.  Make every second count and live your life as a work of art. Paint and sculpt your life with care and become a masterpiece of inspiration. Now, go on and seize the moment ... Do something because you WANT TO .... Not because it's on your SHOULD DO list. 
HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN
LOVE Was Shown To You On 11/14/2008 8:26:12 PM  It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor'sappointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, It was that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.  He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?' He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.  I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought to my self, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be  The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.  
LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME
LOVE Was Shown To You On 11/9/2008 4:46:32 PM Our lives are made up in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Other parts of our lives are spent surviving day by day. But there are no greater moments than that life, with all it's joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time. It's in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all. Whether we live in a forty room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning. You see "Living One Day At A Time" we have and gain that ability that I mentioned above, through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream. We can experience each day anew, and with this fresh start we have what it takes to make all our dreams come true. Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest!! So go and live your life "Living One Day At A Time!!!"What are your thoughts on this? Please I would love to read your thoughts, remember we are all in this together to help one another and it is my prayer that this may help you grab hold of or grasp the life that you were meant to live. May GOD help us all to live this life and may GOD bless you all today and forevermore!!  
HAPPINESS IS
LOVE Was Shown To You On 11/2/2008 5:24:51 AM   He who has no wish to be happier is the happiest of men ~William R Alger ~  Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence ~ Aristotle ~  Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit ~ Hosea Ballou ~  People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost ~ H Jackson Browne ~  Happiness and virtue react upon each other, the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best ~ Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer ~  We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves ~ Confucius ~  The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions, the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasant thought and feeling ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~      Music by JoJo song- The Happy Song I hope everyone here at Newblog has a peaceful, happy Sunday (*_*)
ONE WORLD!!
LOVE Was Shown To You On 10/30/2008 6:28:07 PM Would you kindly watch this video and tell me what you think? It will only take a few moments of your time. I hope that this video will inspire you as much as it inspired me to think about what you would say.
BE SOMEONE
LOVE Was Shown To You On 10/27/2008 4:47:26 AM “Be Someone”  Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares, and you will be loved.

EARTH FROM ABOVE
LOVE Was Shown To You On 10/21/2008 7:58:13 PM Earth From Above comes to NYC. Would you take a few moments to look at these great photos and tell me which one's are your favorites. My favorites are #28 and 33 What are yours?? Photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand will bring his work back to the United States - to New York City for the first time in 2009. Aiming to inspire people to think globally about sustainable living, Arthus-Bertrand has been photographing unique views of our planet, seen from the sky, since 1994 - and has produced an exhibit of over 150 4-ft. by 6-ft. prints which will be on display in New York City at the World Financial Center Plaza and along the Battery Park City Esplanade from May 1, 2009 to June 28, 2009. When completed in New York City, the Earth From Above exhibit will also move on to California in 2010. Photographs and captions all courtesy of Yann Arthus-Bertrand 37 photos in total.  Photo 1 Icebreaker Louis Saint Laurent in Resolute Bay, Nunavut Territory, Canada.  Photo 2 A Worker resting on bales of cotton, Thonakaha, Korhogo, Ivory Coast. Cotton crops occupy approximately 335,000 square klilometers worldwide, and use nearly one quarter of all pesticides sold.  Photo 3 Sand dune in the heart of vegetation on Fraser island, Queensland, Australia. Fraser Island, named after Eliza Fraser, who was shipwrecked on the island in 1836, is the world's largest sand island. On top of this rather infertile substratum, a humid tropical forest has developed in the midst of which wide dunes intrude, moving with the wind. Fraser Island has important water resources, including nearly 200 freshwater dune lakes, and has varied fauna such as marsupials, birds, and reptiles. Welcoming 200,000 visitors a year without damaging the local fauna and flora is a real challenge to sustainable development on the island, which was declared a World Heritage site by Unesco in 1992  Photo 4 The Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix basilica in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast. In 1983, Yamoussoukro replaced Abidjan as the official capital of Ivory Coast. President Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who died in 1993, made his native village into a modern city with a grid of wide avenues - which are almost deserted - and every modern facility: international airport, luxury hotels, golf course, prestigious universities, and so forth. Yamoussoukro also boasts the world's biggest basilica, Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix (Our Lady of Peace), consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1990. The former president, who donated this building to the Vatican, insisted that he had financed the basilica's cost out of his own personal fortune. This building was seen as a colossal waste by many Ivorians. It was highly controversial in a country that lacks schools and hospitals and has only nine doctors for every 100,000 inhabitants (compared to 413 in Norway).  Photo 5 Flock of sheep, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. After the missionary period, between gold fever and the first drillings for oil, sheep-raising became the chief activity in the north of the main island, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. The local cabanas (sheep pastures) are huge sheep farms with 3.5 acres of land per head of livestock.  Photo 6 Confluence of the Rio Uruguay and a tributary, Misiones province, Argentina. Drastically cleared to make way for farming, the tropical rainforest of Argentina is now in some areas a less effective defense against erosion than it was in the past. The heavy rains in the province of Misiones (79 inches, per year) wash the soil and carry off significant quantities of iron-rich earth into the Rio Uruguay, turning the waters a dark, reddish color. Carried by the river, this sediment is dumped in the estuary of the Rio de la Plata - the largest on Earth - and accumulates in the access channels to the port of Buenos Aires.  Photo 7 Mountainous countryside near Maelifellssandur, Myrdalsjökull Region, Iceland. Once the young lava fields of Iceland cool down, life begins anew little by little. Ice, wind and water flatten and carve out shapes to begin with, then, during the summer, bacteria, lichen and fungi prepare the soil for plants, in particular mosses which adapt to an environment which remains difficult. These plants colonise the most favourable sites and terrain little by little, forming a new ecosystem.  Photo 8 "Tree of life", Tsavo national park, Kenya. This acacia is a symbol of life in the vast expanses of thorny savanna, where wild animals come to take advantage of its leaves or its shade. Tsavo National Park in southeastern Kenya, crossed by the Nairobi-Mombasa road and railway axis, is the country's largest protected area (8,200 square miles, or 21,000 square kilometers) and was declared a national park in 1948.  Photo 9 Elephants in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta, flooding seasonally, and is populated by five ethnic groups of people, sharing it with hundreds of species of animals.  Photo 10 Crowd in Abengourou, Ivory Coast. Africa has a population of 800 million, making up 13 percent of the human race. This colorful crowd, enthusiastically waving to the photographer, was photographed in Abengourou, in eastern Ivory Coast.  Photo 11 Dun Eochla fort on Inishmore Island, County Galway, Ireland. The fort of Dun Eochla, rising above the close-cropped grass, was built centuries ago on this island some 30 miles off the Irish coast. The Aran Islands contain some of Europe's most magnificent prehistoric remains. This trio of islands - Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer - with their high rocky cliffs protect the Galway coast from the violent winds and currents of the Atlantic. For centuries, their inhabitants have helped keep the soil fertile by regularly spreading a mixture of sand and seaweed on the rock to produce the thin layer of humus needed for farming. To protect their plots from wind erosion, the islanders have built a vast network of almost 7,500 miles (12,000 km) of low walls, which give the land the appearance of a vast mosaic.  Photo 12 Gosse's Bluff meteor crater, Northern territory, Australia. A meteorite fell on Australian soil, devastating more than 8 square miles (20 km2) in what is now the Northern Territory. Today a crater 3 miles (5 km) in diameter and 500 feet (150 m) deep remains, called Gosse's Bluff; it is known as Tnorala to the Aboriginal people.  Photo 13 Iraqi tank graveyard in the desert near Al Jahrah, Kuwait. This graveyard of tanks will bear witness for many years to the damage that war causes both to the environment and to human health. In 1991, during the first Gulf War, a million depleted uranium shells were fired at Iraqi forces, spreading toxic, radioactive dust for miles around. Such dust is known to have lasting effects on the environment and to cause various forms of cancer and other serious illnesses among humans.  Photo 14 Tsingy of Bemaraha, Morondava region, Madagascar. A Nature reserve covering 853 square kilometers, it was established as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990.  Photo 15 Storm over the Amazon rainforest, Amazonas State, Brazil. There are 50,000 storms a day on the planet, the Amazon river basin hosting many of those, receiving up to 80 inches of rain every year.  Photo 16 Village on the banks of an arm of the River Niger, Mopti region, Mali. The River Niger, which is the third-longest in Africa (2,600 miles, or 4,200 km), has its source in the heights of the Fouta Djalon in Guinea. It crosses nine countries until it reaches a vast delta in Nigeria, where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. More than 100 million people live on its banks, trading on the river, fishing, raising cattle, and farming to the rhythm of the rise and fall of the waters between August and January.  Photo 17 Village in the Rheris Valley, Er Rachidia region, High Atlas Mountains, Morocco. Fortified villages are frequently seen along the valley of the Rheris, as they are on most rivers of southern Morocco, inspired by the Berber architecture built to protect against invaders. Today, with the threat of raids now gone, the close clustering of dwellings, small windows, and roofs covering houses and narrow streets serve the purpose of protecting occupants from heat and dust. The flat, connecting roofs also provide a place for drying crops.  Photo 18 The Athabasca Oil Sands, Alberta, Canada. These oil deposits make up the largest reservoir of crude bitumen in the world, and as recently as 2006, produced over 1 million barrels of crude oil per day.  Photo 19 Village on stilts in Tongkil, Samales Islands, Philippines. The southern Philippines, and in particular the Sulu Archipelago that includes the Samales Islands, is home to the Badjaos. The Badjaos belong to a Muslim minority who make up 5 percent of the Philippine population and are concentrated mostly in the south of the country. Known as "sea gypsies", they fish and harvest shellfish and pearl oysters, and they live in villages on stilts. A channel carved out of the coral reef allows them to reach the open sea.  Photo 20 Autumn forest in the region of Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. The hills of the Charlevoix region along the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec province are dominated by a mixed forest of deciduous trees and conifers. In 1988 UNESCO declared 1,800 square miles (4,600 km2) of this region a Biosphere Reserve. The Quebec forest, boreal in the north and temperate in the south, covers nearly two thirds of the province and has been exploited for lumber since the end of the 17th century. Today it contributes to the economic prosperity of Canada in the worldwide production of newsprint paper, paper pulp, and timber, as well as Christmas trees and maple syrup.  Photo 21 Village of Bacolor under a layer of mud, the island of Luzon, Philippines. In 1991 the volcano of Pinatubo, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, began to erupt after nearly six centuries of dormancy, projecting a 66-million-cubic-foot (18-million-cubic-meter) cloud of sulfurous gas and ash to a height of 115,000 feet (35,000 m) and destroying all life within a radius of 9 miles (14 km). In the days that followed, torrential rains from a hurricane mixed with ashes scattered over several thousand kilometers, causing devastating mudflows, which engulfed whole villages. Before the cataclysmic eruption on June 15, 1991, the evacuation of 60,000 people limited casualties to 875 dead and 1 million injured.  Photo 22 Rice field north of Pokhara, Nepal. The Himalayan mountain chain runs north of Nepal, separating it from its giant neighbor, China. The mountains crown Nepal with a string of eight peaks - out of a world total of fourteen - higher than 26,232 feet (8,000 m). The economy is based on agriculture, which employs 80 percent of the working population and accounts for 41 percent of the gross domestic product of one of the world's poorest countries. Generations of farmers have tamed the mountainsides and prevented erosion by cutting terraces. Rice paddies thus rise in tiers as high as 9,800 feet (3,000 m) above sea level, covering 45 percent of Nepal's cultivated land.  Photo 23 Stacks of wood at a wood pulp factory near Mörrum, Blekinge province, Sweden. The nine countries around the Baltic Sea have made efforts to reduce its pollution over the last 30 years. However, the state of this almost landlocked sea, tenuously linked to the North Sea by the Skagerrak and Kattegat straits, is still causing concern. A variety of chemicals - from wastewater, atmospheric pollution, and agricultural and industrial effluent - are building up in it.  Photo 24 Road interrupted by a sand dune, Nile Valley, Egypt. Dunes cover nearly one-third of the Sahara, and the highest, in linear form, can attain a height of almost 1,000 feet (300 m). Barchans are mobile, crescent-shaped dunes that move in the direction of the prevailing wind at rates as high as 33 feet (10 m) per year, sometimes even covering infrastructures such as this road in the Nile Valley.  Photo 25 Waste from the copper mine at Chuquicamata, Chile. This giant scallop shell is made of earth. A crane deposits the earth in successive, slightly curved lines giving the appearance of sheets of sand lined up side by side. This earth is extracted with the copper, but it is separated from the ore by sieving. The metal is refined in the Chuquicamata foundry that, thanks to newly installed equipment, can now filter out 95 percent of the sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and 97 percent of the arsenic that the process releases.  Photo 26 Town of Koh Pannyi, Phand Nga bay, Thailand. The south-western coast of Thailand offers a series of beautiful bays lined with many islands. Phang-nga Bay's special formations are a result of the thawing of ice. Rising waters then submerged arid calcareous mountains, leaving only their peaks visible to the eye. The bay was turned into a marine park in 1981. One of its popular attractions is the village of Koh Panyi, which was built on piles two centuries ago by Muslim sailors coming from Malaysia. The inhabitants make a living via traditional fishing and tourism. Preserved by its configuration, the bay floor of Phang-nga Bay suffered much less from the tsunami of December 26, 2004 than nearby sites.  Photo 27 Modern graves in a cemetery at Asyut, Nile valley, Egypt. The idea of eternal life, so dear to the ancient Egyptians, is conveyed through a style of funerary architecture that stands the test of time. These tombs are divided into two sections, one representing the life of the deceased and the other containing the person's remains and the objects customarily regarded as making life in the hereafter more pleasant. The world of the living coexists with that of the dead, and cemeteries are close to towns. An Egyptian city of the dead can stretch over several miles and is laid out like a town, with a rich variety of open spaces and architecture.  Photo 28 Islet in the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines. More than 6,000 of the 7,100 Philippine Islands are uninhabited, like this islet in the Sulu Archipelago, a set of 500 islands that separate the Celebes and the Sulu seas. Their extraordinary biodiversity is under threat, not from distant industrial sites but from the effects of global pollution. These islands, which barely rise above the surface of the water, are among the first potential victims of global warming and are certain to disappear when the sea level rises.  Photo 29 The Burj Dubai tower, under construction, will soon be the world's tallest structure, seen in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.  Photo 30 Island of Kornat, Kornati national park, Dalmatia, Croatia. The eastern edge of the Adriatic washes the shores of the 150 islands and islets that make up the Kornati archipelago. The largest island, Kornati, is 12.5 square miles (32.5 km2) in area and accounts for two-thirds of the archipelago's land surface. A century ago, the inhabitants of the nearby islands used these rocks to build dry-stone walls to pen in their sheep and keep them from their olive groves and vineyards. Overgrazing has done considerable damage to wildlife and to the thin vegetation.  Photo 31 Barrios, Caracas, Venezuela. Caracas has grown enormously in the last 40 years, attracting people from all over South America, filling its narrow valley and climbing up the steep sides of the surrounding hills. These new districts, known as barrios or ranchos are home to more than 50 percent of Caracas's 3.8 million inhabitants.  Photo 32 American cemetery north of Verdun, Meuse, France. Covering some 40 hectares (100 acres) at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Verdun, the American cemetery was dedicated in 1935 by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The commission was created in 1923 at the request of General Pershing, who had taken part in the American offensive of 1918. Its aim was to undertake architectural and landscape studies in order to restructure American cemeteries and commemorative monuments in Europe. Whereas the French army chose to build permanent cemeteries where temporary cemeteries had been made during the hostilities, the American army opted to create a single cemetery. Some 25,000 American tombs scattered around Verdun were then brought together at Romagne where, after almost half the bodies were repatriated to American soil, 14,246 soldiers have lain ever since.  Photo 33 Icebergs and an Adelie penguin, Adelie Land, Antarctica. Antarctica, the sixth continent, is a unique observation point for atmospheric and climatic phenomena; its ancient ice, which trapped air when it was formed, contains evidence of the Earth's climate as it has changed and developed over the past millions of years.  Photo 34 The Gorges of the Bras de Caverne, island of Reunion, France. Gorges created from volcanic fractures, like the bed of the Bras de Caverne river, make access to the center of the island of Réunion difficult. Some sites were explored only recently, such as the "Trou de Fer", a ravine of 820 feet (250 m) that was discovered in 1989. Because the island's center was protected from human encroachment, its tropical forests, with giant heather, ferns, and lichens, have been preserved, whereas the forests at low altitude have been converted to agricultural or urban use and have disappeared.  Photo 35 Algae in the Gulf of Morbihan, France. For more than a century, oyster farms have been the privileged sites for the introduction of exotic species. In the 1920s an epidemic decimated Crassostrea angulata, the most widely exploited oyster species in France. A Japanese species, Crassostrea gigas, was then introduced - and, involuntarily along with it, some thirty species of animals and algae that today live in the waters of the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. One example is the Sargasso (Sargassum muticum), a brown algae, seen here in the Gulf of Morbihan, where it has become a part of the local flora.  Photo 36 Darul Aman Palace, in Kabul, Afghanistan. First built in the 1920s by King Amanullah Khan, the palace has been destroyed (by fire and warfare) and rebuilt many times. Its re-reconstruction is in the planning and fundraising stage right now.

GRATITUDE CAN INSPIRE YOUR LIFE PURPOSE!!
LOVE Was Shown To You On 10/20/2008 1:06:14 PM  A lot can be said for an attitude of gratitude, but did you know it can also help you to clarify your life purpose? If you rarely make the effort to feel grateful, you are probably familiar with a pervasive sense of boredom, frustration, dissatisfaction and emptiness. Even if your life circumstances are bearable for the most part, you might still feel a bit disconnected and aimless on a regular basis. A shift toward a more appreciative mind-set can trigger incredible changes in your life - one of which is inspiring you to move toward the activities that speak most deeply to your spirit. In other words, your life purpose! Here's why:  1. Gratitude reconnects you with your authentic self.  2. Gratitude helps awaken you to limitless possibilities.  3. Gratitude helps you honor the best parts of yourself and everyone else.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JKRAPTURE (JESSE) AND HIS FAMILY
LOVE Was Shown To You On 10/11/2008 8:35:36 AM   I chose to use this photo of my friend & brother in CHRIST because I know this was such a happy moment in his life, and this is how I will FOREVER remember Jesse. For personal reason this has hit home for me and it comes with great sadness to me to have lost such a brilliant minded, kind hearted, thoughtful, Inspiring young man. I always loved talking with him about our common interests. As my emotions well up inside me I can't help but to mourn the loss of him and I only wish I would have understood his last comment to me. Jesse will always be loved and missed by those who chose to love him.  For Jesse's family and loved one's, your son Jesse was a great young man and you did a great job in raising him up. May you be comforted every day from this day forward knowing that your son made a difference in this world in his short but meaningful life. He is loved and will be forever missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and my prayer are with you at this time.   The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
