Puppy's Prayer

Again I have went looking for some more animal prayers and found this.. this is exactly how my puppy Max is hehe..

Puppy's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep...
I sleep right in the center groove
My human being can hardly move!

I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in
morning comes and "I want food!"
I sneak up slowly to begin
My nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up quickly,
I have sharp teeth -
I'm a puppy, don't you see?

For the morning's here
And it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs and holds me tight
And shares her bed with me at night!

The Cat's Prayer

Hey there.. I went looking online for a Cat's prayer since I had put dog's prayer on here.. I knew they had to have a cat's prayer so found it and thought i'd put it here.. :)

The Cat's Prayer

Anonymous


Although I am too proud to beg, and may appear to be a very independent creature, I ask for your loving care and attention. I rely on you for my well being much more than you may realize.

This I promise you, my benefactor, that I will not be a burden on you nor will I demand more of you than you care to give.

I will be a quiet peaceful island of serenity for you to gaze upon; a soft soothing body to caress, and I shall purr with pleasure to rest your weary ears.

Since I am a gourmet who appreciates different taste sensations, I pray you will give me a variety of nutritious foods and fresh water daily.

You know dear friend, how I love to go. Allow me, I pray, a warm sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure.

If I am wounded in battle or suffering from disease, please tend me gently, and see that loving and competent hands treat me.

Please protect me from the inhuman humans who would hurt and torture me for their own amusement. I am accustomed to your gentle touch and am neither always suspicious nor swift enough to avoid such malicious acts.

In my later years when my senses fail me and my infirmities become too great to bear, allow me the comfort and dignity that I desire for my closing days and help me gently in my pain or passing.

Remembering Old Times

Last night I was talking to Lacie who is 14 years old.. she doesn't look 14 that's for sure but anyway.. Lacie is David's little sister and so last night was the 1st time in a long long time that I actually chatted with her online for more than an hour.. I think we were on IM for 3 hours last night and she sent me some pictures.. I was gonna save some and only put in the ones I want but the way she sent it I can't so I'm sending all of them...

I couldnt' believe that I had forgotten all of these pictures that I'm in!!! and some are OMG sooo embarrassed!! hehe..

I'm on the bottom left in the purple sweatshirt..

Lacie's homecoming queen with her escort/also her best friend with her brother as an escort for that friend... She did NOT look like she was 12 at the time..

Most of this was our Camping trip.. in the middle pic is David, Lacie,Tori and me, the guy in the corner left is David's Stepdad also name is David.

pic. of me and bottom one is David, his stepdad and his mom

the bottom pic has kids that was with us that year camping, which is Lacie, Chris, and Tori

there's a picture of Lacie and Me on the couch in the old part of the house they live in before it got remodeled.. so this was taken approximately 1997.


Alot of these pictures has brought back a lot of memories that I had kinda forgotten but I'm so glad that lacie has started making these photo collages so she can remember the things used to be.. :) When I get some more I'll probably post some more but hope u didnt' laugh at me with that wig on lol...

A Dog's Prayer

Hey ya'll..

Mary and I were talking this evening on the IM and we think that possibly max can be a part doberman.. I'm thinking Min Pin... so I went to Google and did a serach and found this and i liked this and decided to put it here..


A Dog's Prayer

Treat me kindly, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me know.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when footstep fall on my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside...for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements...and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth...for you are my god, and I am your devoted worshipper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should life be in danger.

And, my beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful bounty of eternal rest...and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

Remember me not with tearful eyes...but instead with an abounding heart. Should you choose to fill my bed, feel no guilt. You have not betrayed me. Love another as you always loved me...and they too will love you as I always have.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is my 29th Birthday.. now where did time go?!?!?! I am sitting here looking back at all that I've grew up through.. and it's amazing to see that all that I went through and I turned out alright hehe..

I went through having hip surgery and having 2 pins put in my hip (which is still there), went through school years and had encountered quite a bit of stuff ....

Like having a friend that has Cystic Fibriosis and I learned a lot from her..

I had turned in a high schooler who had weapons and had planned to hurt 5 boys on our school bus.. (hmm that's a story I am gonna have to post),

I went through courses to get my GED in just 5 months and graduated.

Getting married (Which I had said I'd never do) then going through a divorce that I never thought would happen to me..

Then getting married for the 2nd time (which I swore I would NEVER do again)

And now here I am a year later.. I'm getting a year older, I'm now in a stable job that I do love. I'm married to a wonderful man who loves and cares about me and would do anything for me.. I'm surrounded by a family that I do deeply care for and love so much and I have friends that I know I can talk to..

Life sometimes deal us a lousy hand but sometimes we can play it to our advantage and have a wonderful life in the end.. I never thought my life would turn out like this but I'm glad it did.. because if it didn't.. I wouldnt' have really appreciated what I have right now..

I'm now looking forward to a wonderful 29th year and getting older and seeing what God has in store for me in the years to come..

Happy Birthday SIS!!!

Today is my old (hehe) Sister's Birthday... She turns 32 years old today!!! Now where did time go?!?!?!?!?!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

New Puppy

Hi There!!

I just thought I'd post a new pic of my puppy that I'm gonna get this saturday.. Our friend Vicki was surprised to find a total of 5 puppies been dropped off in her yard/area of her house so she was in the search of good homes for these puppies and it didn't take much convincing to do to get Robert to get one for me for my birthday since it's coming up this weekend.. hehe.. He's a good husband!!

I am thinking of naming this puppy Max.. after my dog I used to have YEARS ago.. I miss my old dog max and been thinking of him alot so I think i'll name him Max...

Living On Love

This is Robert's Favorite song by Alan Jackson....


[ Alan Jackson lyrics ]
Livin' On Love

Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love

She don't care 'bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love

(Chorus)

Livin' on love buyin' on time
Without somebody nothin' ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love

It sounds simple that's what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin' on love

He can't see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand
they'll walk through the door
Just livin' on love

(Repeat chorus)
No it doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love


This is Robert and Me FOR SURE!!!!!!

What IF Nobody Believed In You

This song was on the radio a few times and it has me thinking everytime I hear it which is everyday pretty much.. but it's true!!!

"What IF Nobody Believed In You"
By: Joe Nichols

I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn't tried to swing at all.
I guess he'd had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father's voice was loud an' mean:
"You won't amount to anything."
That little boy quit tryin',
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.

Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

That old man said: "One more try"
"I know I'm not too old to drive,
"I promise, son, I'll do my best,
"This time, I'm gonna pass the test."
"Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in."
His father never drove again.
That old man quit tryin',
He just turned away.
An' there were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

We take His name out of schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can't be writ,
An' under God, should not be said.
I wonder how He will take.
I just pray it's not too late.

What if God quit tryin',
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.


Some may disagree but this is soo totally true.. what would we do if we didnt' believe in him.. and I do see how things have changed when I was younger.. and now.. and I really wish that we didn't take prayers out of school and all this debate about "under god" etc.

I wish

This song.. I listen to it sometimes and MOST of the words I do wish I had the chance to tell my ex husband David.. and even though I'm married to Robert.. a part of my heart will still care for my ex becuase he was a part of my past.. and he and I had agreed to be friends.. but I guess in a way I do still love him but only as a friend.. but this song is "dedicated" to him...



Jo Dee Messina lyrics -

I Wish

It's not easy saying this to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do

But boy before you go
I want you to Know

Chorus:
I wish you strength
When times are hard
Oh I wish with all my heart you find just what
You're looking for

I wish you joy
I wish you peace
And that every star you see's within your reach

And I wish you still loved me
I wish things were different you know that
But I'm still happy for the times we had
You mean the world to me
Baby Please Believe

Repeat Chorus

Losing you is tearing me apart
But a part of me will be with you
No matter where you are...


I do wish David the world.. I want him to have the dreams that He has been dreaming.. even though he chose to share those dreams and reach his goals with another woman.. I do wish him happiness and a good future for himself and his wife..

I would hope he wishes the same thing for me.. to be happy.. which I am very happy with Robert.. I couldnt' have asked for a better man to be my husband who treats me with the respect that I should have..
