                                 A Hug From God

Sometimes I think I've got it all together-
I've figured out what life is all about.
It lasts a while and then it always happens-
A curve-ball come that I can't figure out.

I struggle to find my way through all the darkness-
the more I try the harder it seems to be.
Until I reach a point of fear and desperation-
It hurts so much I fall down on my knees.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

The room grows quiet as tears stream down my face-
the pain inside is all taken away.
A warmth surrounds my cold and shaking body-
As God's hand wipes the tears off of my face.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

Angel Moms

We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving mother.

Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age , we cry the same tears.

We understand each others pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.

So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.

We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Moms and together we are strong!

A wish for you

A dream is a wish your heart makes
   and my heart makes a wish for you
That you may find a rainbow
   where all your dreams will come true.

May there be sunlight ever streaming
   into your heart each day,
May you find the hand of friendship
   along each new highway.

And may loving arms enfold you
   when you need someone to care.
And may your heart know that my heart
   is with you everywhere....

Jo-Ann, you, your family and your precious Lauren are always in my prayers.

There's an angel on your shoulder
Though you may not know she's there,
She watches over you day and night
And keeps you in her care.


There's an angel on your shoulder
Watching you learn and grow
Keeping you safe from danger
And nurturing your soul.


She'll be there through your triumphs
She'll dance on clouds with pride,
She'll hold your hands through
disappointments and fears,
Standing faithfully by your side.


In her lifetime this angel was strong and true,
And stood up for what was right.
In your life you'll be faced with decisions and trials
And she'll shine down her guiding light.


Life holds so much in store for you,
So remember as you grow older,
There are no heights you cannot reach
'Cause there's an angel on your shoulder

This morning when I awoke and saw the sun above,

I softly said, 'Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love'

Right away I thought of you and said a loving prayer,

That He would bless you specially, and keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness a day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because no one deserves it more.
I felt so warm and good inside, my heart was all aglow.
I know God heard my prayers for you,
He hears them all, you know.
