A
Message From Heaven
If
you cry any tears for me,
Let
them be of pure sweet glee.
I
am not sad that the Earth I have left,
Because
here in Heaven, I can catch my breath.
My
body and soul
Have
a life of new.
And
now I can watch
Over
each one of you.
I
can run and play
And
sing a long note,
I
can slide and swim
And
now I can jump rope.
I’m
not there for you
To
touch my skin and brush my hair.
But
if you could see it up here,
You
wouldn’t want me down there.
So
please rest well
And
sleep sound at night.
I
am here with the Lord,
And
my hand He holds tight.

Keri King ~ In honor of my precious cousin Kelsi

Something
to Think About
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was
blind.
She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there
for her.
She
said. that if she could only see the world, she would marry
her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. She
was then able to
see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, " Now that you can see the world,
will you
marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her
boyfriend was blind.
She then refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to
her
saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear, for I loved
you so much that It was I
who was the donor of your gift."
This is how the human brain changes when our status changes. Only
few remember what life was before, and who's always been there
even in
the most painful situations.
Life Is A Gift
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who
can't
speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of
someone
who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too
early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone
who
desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or
sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of
someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
-
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to
one maker.
When depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on
your face and thank God you're alive and still around then do
something within your power to help the less fortunate.
Helping others can be therapy and is food for your soul.
If
you are someone who is clinically depressed seek help, for there
is always hope and help is out there somewhere.
Life
is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.
We Serve an
AWESOME GOD.

My
Guide
I
know not the way I am going,
but
well I know my guide.
With
childlike faith do I give my hand
To
the mighty friend by my side.
The
only thing that I say to him
as
he takes it, is, Hold it fast.
Suffer
me not to lose the way,and
lead
me home at last.

My
Angel
There
is a girl I know
She
is always on the go
Her
smile is always so bright
Just
like the stars at night
I
never hear her complain
When
in so much pain
Yet
I have only known her a year
To
me it has come clear
How
wonderful this girl has come to be, but
it
seems to me
She
is not only a child of this world
She
is a an angel of our Lord
We call
this angel Kelsi
A
blessing sent to us
I love you Kelsi ~

Prayer
After The Death Of A Child
Oh
God, to us who are left to mourn her departure, grant that we may
not sorrow as one without hope for our beloved who sleeps in you;
but, as always remembering her courage, and the love that united
us on earth, that we may begin again with new courage to serve you
more fervently who are the only source of true love and true
fortitude; that when we have passed a few more days in this valley
of tears and this shadow of death, supported by your rod and
staff, we may see her face to face, in those pastures and beside
those waters of comfort where we believe she already walks with
you. Oh lord we love thee, comfort our desolate hearts and renew
our strength.
In
Jesus name, Amen. |

Friends
Friends
are special in many different ways,
they
lighten and brighten the load of our days.
Friends
come with smiles and wisdom and praise
always
caring about what we might say.
Friends
are there with shoulders so strong
to
encourage and listen when things may go wrong.
Friends
are like angels sent from above
to
help with our journey and show us his love.
Friends
help us laugh and share our tears,
walking
beside us all of our years.
Cherish
your friends and show them your love,
they
are answers to prayers and sent from above.
Remember
these words, they are powerful and true,
show
God's love in
all that you do.

Thank
God For The Little Things
Thank
you, God, for the little things that often come our way-
The
things we take for granted but don't mention when we pray-
The
unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful kindly deed, the hand
reached
out to help us in the time of sudden need.
Oh
make us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces, that come to
us with sweet surprise from never-dreamed-of places.

Our
Child Not Here
In
Memory of our Precious Daughter
Kelsi
Amanda Robinson
May
1, 1992 – March 3, 2006
I
can’t believe it has been a year,
since
we hugged you tight and you were here.
It’s
too unreal to imagine a life,
a
life without you, sweet child of ours who isn’t here.
Our
only comfort we have today;
You’re
now with God, whole and well, just as we prayed.
Someday
we’ll be together I know,
for
in the Bible, God tells us so.
Your
smile, your laugh, your funny ways,
your
hugs, your love, they don’t fade with days.
Our
year, 12 months of grief,
pain,
sadness and disbelief.
A
year of first’s, new beginnings, new prayers,
struggles
and faith.
We
grieve for you precious Kelsi, our child not here.
Our
love and memories will not fade in a year.
I
love you bigger than the world,
Mom

Ten
Guidelines From God
1.
QUIT WORRYING:
Life
has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have
you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry
them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little
thing that comes your way?
2.
PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something
needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No,
not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list Let ME be the one
to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it
over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after
all... God, I can take care of anything you put into My hands.
In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a
lot of things for you that you never even realize.
3.
TRUST ME:
Once
you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back.
Trust in Me.. Have the faith that I will take care of all your
needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the
kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it
on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on
My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4.
LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don't
wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much
stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do
you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You
gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew
your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if
I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you
started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just
let Me do my job.
5.
TALK TO ME:
I
want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making
you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you
know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never
forget. Please, don't forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love
YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me
in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you
talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having
a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6.
HAVE FAITH:
I
see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where
you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me;
you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue
to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only
have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than
you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your
simple part. How hard can trust be?
7.
SHARE:
You
were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did
you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who
are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need
encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard
any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have
forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8.
BE PATIENT:
I
managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many
diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult,
have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel
to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so
much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little
longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list?
Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I
created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I
should always rush, rush, rush.
9..
BE KIND:
Be
kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They
may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way
you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for
My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would
be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I
love each of your differences.
10.
LOVE YOURSELF:
As
much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were
created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in
return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors.
But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so
angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious
to me.
These are
just a few handy guidelines to follow.

Trust
Him
Trust
Him
when
dark doubts assail thee.
Trust
Him
when
your strength is small.
Trust
Him
when
to simply trust Him seems the hardest
thing of all.
Trust
Him,
He
is ever faithful.
Trust
Him,
His
dear will is best.
Trust
Him,
for
your Father's Heart is
your surest place for rest.
Trust
Him,
then,
in storm and
sunshine. All
your fears upon him cast,
till
the term of life is over, and
your trusting days are past.

A
Birthday Present To Mom & Dad
Mom
and Dad,
I
wish you could see
The
birthday party
They’re
having for me!
The
angels came
And
were singing to me.
Glory
be to God!
She
is healthy and can breathe!
The
parties are different here,
Than
down there on Earth.
We
don’t need food or water,
So
we just sing, and celebrate our birth.
We
dance and laugh,
For
as long as we wish.
Because
we never tire,
We
don’t worry about what we’ll miss.
We
sit in circles,
And
talk about our lives down there,
And
we plan little surprises,
For
when you all join us up here.
I
know you can’t hear my voice,
When
I sing from above.
So
I sent you a present,
On
the wings of a dove.
Watch
out your window,
Or
go play outside.
And
when you hear a dove sing,
You
will know my voice is alive!
5-1-2007
This
is dedicated to my most awesome cousin Kelsi.
Thank you Kelsi for being so strong and teaching me that
the little things in life are to be treasured.
I treasure every moment and memory we have had together.
You have made me a stronger and better Christian and a
better mother, wife and sister.
I know the Lord was so happy to have you home again!
You were such a joy to us that I know Heaven is just as
joyful to have you.
I
love you and miss you,
Keri

Trust
in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not on your own
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct your paths.
Proverbs
3:5-6
Judge
not , and you shall not be judged: condemn not and you shall not
be condemned: forgive and you shall be forgiven. Luke 6:38
Dear
Lord Please bless the person reading this. Give them comfort
where it is needed. Please give them strength when they are
weak, give them peace and wisdom. Let them have an open mind
and prick their hearts to be able to have a closer walk with you.
Help them in their difficulties and let them always look to you
for guidance and comfort. Bless our military and the Leaders of
our Country. May they make the right decisions and have the
strength to shoulder all of the weight that is placed on
them. Please bless our children, there are so many evil
things in this world. May we bring them up in the nurture and
admonition of you. Please help us to be able to always focus
on our faith no matter what we have working against us, or who may
try to tell us different. May we always turn to your word to
help with our answers. Please forgive us when we stumble
for we know we all do. Bless us with people around us who
will help in our walk. Forgive us of our sins. In Jesus
precious name, Amen
