Dear Friends,
First of all Happy New Year and thanks to all of you for your prayers and blessings...I am very lucky to have a friends like you guys..I am feeling better now. I just wanted to share this prayer with all of you.
This prayer came into my email today from book of prayers to St. Jude...
It is the first time I have seen a prayer for those who are depressed.
It is directed to St. Jude, but could just as easily be addressed to God.
St. Jude, friend to those in need,
I am weary from grief, without joy, without hope,
struggling through the dark night of the soul.
I turn to you, my most trusted friend.
Take away this emptiness and the pain of my broken heart.
In your compassion, wipe away the tears and carry me to a place of peace.
Too long have I been blind to the goodness of God's world.
Heal me.
I yearn to feel, to bathe in light and joy.
Envelop me in brightness, and do not hold back.
And I promise, if you should see me fit to receive these gifts,
I will share them always. Amen.
Regards,
Angel

Good to see you trying to get back to blogging again. You have gone through a pain that no one but only time can heal.
Take good care of yourself so that you can start working towards JJ again :)
The amazing life that you carried within you and loved unconditionally will always be with you. He will always be a part of you. May you find comfort in the fact that one day you will be together again. Sending you peace and light Angel. Take care.
Blessings.
This is my first time to see your blog and I found it interesting.

Dearest Angel,
I was so glad to see that you stopped by my blog today. I have been thinking about you and holding you close in my prayers.
This prayer to St. Jude is very touching. I hope that it helps you as you continue to make sense of what happened.
Please continue to be gentle with yourself and allow yourself the time that you need to recover. Happier days are ahead, dear one.
Hugs,
Debbie
Dear Angel, this is in fact very beautiful and heartfelt prayer. Angel, in life you will find things happen for reason, you may not see it now, but you will see it later. My prayers are with you, your husband, and JJ. Please do pray for this baby, may his soul rest in peace. God bless, Anna :)
Happy new year dear. Take care and eat well

Angel, I'm so glad to see you blogging again. Thank you for sharing this hopeful prayer. It's one we all can pay attention to, even when we haven't been through the ordeal that you have.
Correction. I know you're still going through a lot of pain, but I'm encouraged seeing you post to your blog. That means you have hope and purpose. May 2009 be SO good to you...

saw this, think you would like it.-------Sand and Stone
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey they had an argument, and
one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got
slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they
decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got
stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone.
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked
him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write
on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write
it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But,
when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it
in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE
YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Beautiful prayer.
Happy 2009, something for you on my blog.

Hi there Angel. I came over to visit with you this evening after you visited my place this morning. Oh my.....I have been sitting here reading and learning about you from your posts. Now I am crying, for all that you have had to bear. I know my words are so inadequate but I am so sorry.
Alan had shared with me when you first lost JJ to pray for you and I did. But now reading your words....
This prayer that you have posted is quite beautiful and I am grateful it has brought you some comfort.
I pray for God's continued comfort and peace to be on you and your husband.
Thinking about you.
Hugs,
Debbie
