God’s grace

I am a 33 year old woman from a family of 13. I was married at 19 to my love Wayne. We always wanted children, i always wanted to be a mom. About a year after getting married I got pregnant, at 17wks I began 2 miscarry the Dr. wanted to do a d&c but i was nervous about that . i went home, a few days later was rushed to the hospital hemorrhaging. They did the d&c & so began 5 years of heartbreaking losses for Wayne & I. I had 1 more miscarriage & 3 ectopic pregnancy’s, the last tubal ruptured & I almost died. As I was taken into surgery I begged the Doctor to leave at least one of my tubes. The next day they told me that they had taken 1 tube & sliced the other apparently there was a growth in that tube as well. A few months later i had a test done that showed that the remaining tube was not working. That was in april 2000. I have never gotten pregnant again. I do not have insurance so exploring further options hasn’t really been a possibility .

Three years ago a dear friend passed away leaving us guardian of 2 wonderful 14 year old’s. Challenging but fulfilling. At the same time a baby was brought into our life she lives with us 3 to 4 days a week. We are greatly blessed and enjoy our children so much. I would love to give birth and have more children, short of a miracle I don’t see that happening. But the Word says “we live by faith not by sight” so I’m trusting God.

Blessings to you & yours,

Kari B.  Psalm 91

Connect and Energize

Dr. Rob shares some thoughts on how we all have the need to reconnect and re-energize with one another, through faith, by communing with nature… whatever suits our own personal needs.

Remind yourself of the infinite

Infinite: without any finite or measurable limits.

Infinite describes everything in the universe, such as our own selves, love, and success.  None of these are finite, they are all infinite.  The energy of the universe has no measurable limits and energy cannot be created nor destroyed.  Since everything in the universe is composed of energy, everything is, therefore, infinite.

Our very own being, bodies, and thoughts are infinitely part of the universe.  The energy of our bodies continues infinitely, into the earth, our thoughts into the atmosphere, taken up by the grass and plants, which nourish other animals and humans, thus endlessly continuing the flow of energy of the universe.

Love is also infinite. Love has no limits, you cannot measure love by prescribing it to any levels. Read more

Grandma’s hands

Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. She didn’t move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands. When I sat down beside her she didn’t acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if she was OK. Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her at the same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head and looked at me and smiled. ‘Yes, I’m fine, thank you for asking,’ she said in a clear strong voice.

‘I didn’t mean to disturb you, grandma, but you were just sitting here staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK,’ I explained to her.

‘Have you ever looked at your hands,’ she asked. ‘I mean really looked at your hands?’

I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them over, palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I tried to figure out the point she was making.

Grandma smiled and relayed this story:

“Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to reach out and grab and embrace life. Read more

Birth of an Angel: epilogue

This is the epilogue to a book that Manuel de leon wrote about his son Carlo and gives away for free to those he comes across in the Philippines, he has given us permission to reprint his story on MindBodySmile.com and we will publish weekly installments here. You can read all prior installments here.

Epilogue:

We are slowly coming to terms in accepting this most memorable episode in our life. Painfully, we learn to cope with each passing day without our son. His mother continues her usual domestic tasks around the house tending to our needs. Many times I would see her very sad and lonely, her eyes red and her nose swollen from tears. She continues to ache deep inside from the wide open wound left behind by her departed son. Everyday she does her chores silently as if her son were still alive watching television in our room upstairs as he often did.

I have accepted the little success of present medical treatments and care for cancer. Read more

Birth of an angel: Inspirations

This is the end of a book that Manuel de leon wrote about his son Carlo and gives away for free to those he comes across in the Philippines, he has given us permission to reprint his story on MindBodySmile.com and we will publish weekly installments here. You can read all prior installments here.

Inspirations:

Every time I think of making a change to what I have already written, I hear a whisper that reminds me that these are not my thoughts. These are mysteries from heaven. My human intellect can’t fully comprehend them, but they are as holes of inspirations through which I am allowed a peep into heaven’s interior. Quite a lot of times I went through each line, each sentence, and each paragraph to simply appreciate and absorb its meaning as if it were a revelation to me. Every word and expression is meant to reinforce my outlook on some aspects of our existence here on earth and of the world afterward. Read more
