The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known
struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I reposted this to my FB account, and it was exactly what a relative needed to hear. She is my nephew's wife. They have 2 children, aged 2 and 1. She is waiting for results from a thyroid biopsy. Please say a prayer for her.0 -

Holy Spirit, come into our hearts and teach us how to pray. All glory, and honour, and praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ. You have heard the pleas of your faithful servant. We come together and ask for the healing of any thyroid issues of Orapronobis's nephew's wife. We ask that You pour Your precious blood in every artery, nerve, cell, organ of this woman and completely heal her for your glory, honour and praise. We thank you Lord and we praise You.
Below is the Miracle Prayer. On Jan 31 of this year (2013), I posted the Miracle Prayer on my facebook page. I posted it on facebook because I had been diagnosed with a condition in June 2012. The next evening (Feb 1), my brother was over and he asked me to look for something upstairs (I live in my mom's house, she is in heaven now). So I was upstairs and just before I started looking for the item he was asking for, I noticed a folded up paper on the edge of a filing cabinet and I could not believe what I was reading. My mother had hand-written the Miracle Prayer. And then I saw the specialist on March 18 of this year and he cannot understand how my stats are improving (I could not keep the smile off my face and I just said "I know how." lol)
Anyways, here's the prayer:
The Miracle Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come before You, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever, I invite you into my life.
Jesus, I accept You as my Lord, God and Savior. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit.
Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your Precious Blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, I love You Jesus. I praise You Jesus, I thank You Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.
Mary, My Mother, Queen of Peace, all you Angels and Saints, please help me. Amen.
Say this prayer faithfully, no matter how you feel. When you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus and He will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see.

I'm having the Pooh quote painted on my wall in my classroom with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet and a heart this summer!0 -
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked God for health, that I might do greater things,
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy,
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men,
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for
- but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among men, most richly blessed.0 -
