Sigh of Love

I received this in an email today. So I copied and pasted here so everyone could see. I thought it was precious. But what I could not copy and paste was pictures of puppies. But read this with an open heart. I really new what it was saying. A few weeks ago my youngest daughter had a wedding that she has always wanted. They had been married for 5 years on June 21st. So they had a wedding, bridesmaids and all the stuff. My oldest daughter was making her a wedding cake and it was melting. The frosting was humid outside and doors opening and shutting. She was getting frustrated, anyone would. Usually when you are trying to make something very special it messes up. She bakes and decorates out of this world. It was a talent from God not inherited. LOL. Anyways she called me to come over if I could. I was at the church, we prayed. And I felt the SIGH. Now read the passage below and you will know what it is talking about.

Love Nan




THIS IS A TERRIFIC STORY, BUT YOU MUST READ IT, DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!!
Puppy Size This is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear. You will know precisely what this little girl is talking about at the end (you'll want to share this one with your loved ones and special friends)! 'Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We've been back to This animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now since we started all of this,' the mother told the volunteer. 'What is it she keeps asking for?' the volunteer asked. 'Puppy size!' replied the mother. 'Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for.' 'I know... we have seen most of them, ' the mom said in frustration... Just then Danielle came walking into the office 'Well, did you find one?' asked her mom. 'No, not this time,' Danielle said with sadness in her voice. 'Can we come back on the weekend?'
The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed 'You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's always a supply,' the volunteer said.. Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door. 'Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend,' she said. Over the next few days both Mom and Dad had long conversations with her. They both felt she was being too particular. 'It's this weekend or we're not looking anymore,' Dad finally said in frustration.
'We don't want to hear anything more about puppy size, either,' Mom added. Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturday morning. By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for the section that housed the smaller dogs. Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the end of the first row of cages. There was an observation window so you could see the animals during times when visitors weren't permitted. Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically to take a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and she held each one. One by one she said, 'Sorry, but you're not the one.' It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect pup. The volunteer opened the cage door and the child carefully picked up the dog and held it closely. This time she took a little longer. 'Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy! He's the one! I know it!' She screamed with joy. 'It's the puppy size!'

'But it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the last few weeks,' Mom said. 'No not size... The sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed,' she said. 'Don't you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!' The two women looked at each other for a moment. Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little of both. 'Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home from work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy if it sighed when I held it in my arms,' she said. Then, holding the puppy up close to her face, she said, 'Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of his heart!' Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes you sigh. I not only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in the caress of a sunset, the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot day. They are the sighs of God Take the time to stop and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear. 'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'

I hope your life is filled with Sighs!!!

Heavy Heart

My heart has been heavy for awhile now. I look around at the things going on. We are having 70 degree weather in the month that is to be one of the hottest months of the summer. And in May and June it was 90 degree weather. The economy is terrible, everyday we here people losing their jobs. And my heart remains heavy. I have loved one's I know that is not prepared physically and spiritually. I am not judging I know them. My heart hurts for them. I am seeing families with words being between them. Things is not right. I heard our preacher, say today.
We are to much into ourselves, that we don't think about the other people. And I pondered on that in church. And I thought you know he is right. I don't pray like I should. Cause there are some situations in my own family I just need to pray pray pray. Or I pray and instead of letting God take it from there. I think I need to add a comment that is not nice. I need to pray and leave it alone. God does not need my help. Even though there have been times that I think he does. And all I do is just mess things up. I need to see if there is anything I can do. Like go spend the day with them or something.I pray for each of you who read this. And I pray when you say your prayers. That you pray for your loved ones and your neighbors you family and your friends. Thank God for the day that we are in. Do not go to sleep with unforgiveness in your heart. This is so heavy on my heart.

Let's pray Lord God I ask that you minister to each person that reads this passage. I pray that you touch their lives physically, emotionally and in every way that they need it. I pray that you minister to them and let them feel the presence of the Lord from the top of their head to the bottom of their feet. I pray that if they do not know God that they will give their heart to you. Lord I love you and I believe that you are the king of kings and the Lord of Lord's. Lord I thank you for each person in my life I pray you touch them. In the way that they need a blessing. I ask that you send food to the hungry. Lord I ask these things in Jesus name Amen.

God bless

Strong Like a Pineapple

Well I thought I would get on here for a few minutes and read the blogs. I am so blessed to read some of your blogs. It blesses me what people have to say. I am seeing things getting to turn and look ugly in this world. And that is why we need to rely on our heavenly FATHER. And make sure we have things shored up with him. He is great and mighty and can handle the things in our lives when we can't. A few weeks ago I told someone I had a peace of God that I have not had in years. Well when you make statements like that. You better make sure you know there are waves fixing to come your way. But even though things are coming I still have that peace of GOD. It is like when you have a pineapple and you have to peel the brown tough skin off it. Then you have to half into to then you have to take the core out to get to the good fruit that God has for us to eat. That is how I feel about the peace it is like that core in the pineapple. It is strong and deep in that fruit matter fact that is the length of the pineapple. But it is good just like the peace of God is. You have to lean on the everlasting arms. What a fellowship what a peace of mine leaning on the everlasting arms. I have blessed peace with the Lord Divine leaning on the everlasting arms. There you go how did you like my song.

I pray that God give you a peace in your hearts. I pray for each and everyone of you that come and read this blog. Have a safe weekend. Please keep our family in your prayers.


God bless
Love Nan
