A PINK SATURDAY DREAM OF SPRING

XOXOXOXO

AMY

WELCOME  TO  PINK  SATURDAY

BEVERLY  IS  OUR  HOSTESS

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

MANY  OF  US  ARE  BLANKETED  IN  ICE

AND  SNOW.

AT  MY  HOUSE,  WE  RECEIVED  ONLY  A  LITTLE

BIT  OF  ICE  BUT  WE  RECEIVED  9  INCHES  OF

SNOW.

I  SAID  A  PRAYER  FOR  ALL  THOSE  WITHOUT

ELECTRICITY.

I  AM  GUILTY  OF  NOT  TAKING  THE  TIME  TO  APPRECIATE

ELECTRICITY,  GAS,  WATER,  AND  THE  AIR  I  BREATHE.

MY  PRAYERS  CONTINUE  FOR  HAITI  AS  I  WATCH  THE

HORROR  UNFOLD  OVER  THERE.  IT  IS  SO  EASY  TO  FORGET

BECAUSE  IF  I  DON'T  WATCH  TELEVISION,  IT  IS  OUT  OF

SIGHT  AND  MIND,  AS  THEY  SAY.

IT  HURTS  ME  TO  SEE  PEOPLE  IN  SUCH  NEED  AND

HAVE  LOST  SO  MUCH.

I  WAS  READING  A  BLOG  THE  OTHER  DAY  THAT  WAS  LISTING 

ALL  THE  THINGS  ABOUT  BLOGS  SHE  DIDN'T  LIKE....AND

ENCOURAGED  OTHERS  TO  TELL  WHAT  THEIR  GRIPES  WERE

ABOUT  BLOGS.   SHE  INTENDED  FOR  IT  TO  BE  A  VERY  POSITIVE

THING  I  AM  SURE.

SOME  OF  THE  THINGS  PEOPLE  LISTED  WERE:

BLACK  BACKGROUNDS

WANTED  TO  SEE  REAL  PICTURES  NOT  PICTURES  FROM

THE  INTERNET

POSTINGS  THAT  ALL  THE  SENTENCES  RAN  TOGETHER

AND  DID  NOT  HAVE  INDENTITATIONS

LONG  WINDED  PEOPLE

I  THOUGHT  ABOUT  ALL  THESE  THINGS.  I  THOUGHT  ABOUT

ALL  THE  FOLLOWERS  THAT  HAVE  LEFT  MY  BLOG  FOR  ONE

REASON  OR  ANOTHER......WHETHER  I  DON'T  VISIT  THEM

ENOUGH....WHETHER  I  AM  LONG  WINDED......WHETHER  BECAUSE  I

PRAY  FOR  PEOPLE.....BLACK  BALLED....

THAT  IS  WHY  I  STARTED  THE  BLOG

SIMPLY  DEBBIE

BECAUSE  THAT  IS  WHO  I  AM

I  KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT  THE  COMPUTER  WHEN  I  STARTED

MY  BLOG.  I  AM  WHAT  I  AM.  I  DIDN'T  KNOW  GRAPHICS.

IF  I  TELL  YOU  I  LOVE  YOUR  BLOG  OR  YOU  PERSONALLY,

I  MEAN  IT.  I  DON'T  AND  CAN'T  TELL  SOMEONE  SOMETHING

JUST  TO  TICKLE  YOUR  EARS.  I  AM  LIKE  MY  DADDY:  HONEST

AND  YOU  ALWAYS  KNOW  WHERE  YOU  STAND  WITH  ME.

I  LIVE  IN  A  SIMPLE  HOME....IT  IS  NOT  FANCY  AND  FULL

OF  ANTIQUES  AND  FANCY  DISHES.  I  NEVER  RECEIVED  A

THING  THAT  WAS  MY  GRANDMOTHERS.  I  HAVE  NOTHING  LOVELY

TO  SHOW  BUT  THE  MEMORIES  OF  THEM  IN  MY  HEART.

WHAT  I  WAS,  WAS  A  MOTHER  THAT  ONE  DAY  HAD  TWO

CHILDREN  I  LOVED  VERY  MUCH  AND  THEN  ONE  DAY  I

HAD  A  SON  AND  MY  DAUGHTER  WAS  IN  HEAVEN.

I  DIDN'T  KNOW  WHO  I  WAS  ANY  MORE.

I  HAD  TO  FIND  MY  PLACE

HOW  COULD  I  FIT  IN  WITHOUT  A  DAUGHTER

WHAT  OF  ANY  VALUE  WOULD  I  HAVE  TO  BLOG  ABOUT

THINGS  GO  VERY  SLOW  WHEN  YOU  ARE  IN  A  SEASON  OF

WINTER.   IT  IS  NOT  EASY  TO  BE  STILL  WHEN  YOU  ARE  WEARING

A  BLANKET  OF  SNOW.  IT  IS  SO  COLD.

BUT  I  KNOW

"SPRING"

IS  COMING

ANGEL  HUGS

THANKS  FOR  SPENDING  A  PART  OF  YOUR  DAY  WITH  ME

THANK  YOU  FOR  LISTENING  TO  ME  SPILL  MY  HEART

I  NEED  SOME  ENCOURAGEMENT  AND  LOVE

"I THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS COMING TO AN END!"

CALLED  THE  POOREST  NATION ON  THE  WESTERN  HEMISPHERE,

HAITI,

HAD  A  7.0  MAGNITUDE  QUAKE  STRIKE  SHORTLY  BEFORE  5 PM,

TUESDAY,  WITH  28  AFTER  SHOCKS...MANY  AT  5.0.

THERE  ARE  A  LARGE  NUMBER  OF  U.N.  PEACEKEEPERS 

UNACCOUNTED  FOR  AFTER  DAMAGE TO  THEIR  BUILDING.

THEY  SAID  AFTER  THE  QUAKE,  THERE  WAS  A  CLOUD  OF

DUST  THAT  COVERED  THE  AREA  FOR  OVER  20  MINUTES.

WITNESSES  SAID  SCREAMING  COULD  BE  HEARD  AND  ONE  LADY

RAN  SCREAMING  DOWN  THE  STREET,  "THE WORLD  IS  COMING  TO  AN  END."

ONE  MAN  TOLD  CNN,  THAT  IT  FELT  LIKE  HIS  HOUSE  WAS 

BALANCING  ON  A  BEACH  BALL.

I  HAVE  LONG  PRAYED  FOR  HAITI.   IT  HAS  A  SPECIAL  PLACE  IN  MY

HEART.   I  KNOW  THAT  ONLY  BY  THE  GRACE  OF  GOD,  I  LIVE  HERE

AND  NOT  THERE.

THE  RED  CROSS  STATES  3  MILLION  PEOPLE  HAVE  BEEN  AFFECTED

AND  THEY  ARE  BRACING  FOR  A  HUGE  DEATH  TOLL.

HAITI  IS  STILL  IN  THE  PROCESS  OF  HEALING  FROM  THE  2009 

HURRICANE  THAT  HIT  THERE.  80  %  OF  THE  POPULATION

LIVE  BELOW  POVERTY  LINE, SURVIVING  ON  A  $1.00  A  DAY.

MAY  GOD'S  GRACE  AND  MERCY  TOUCH  HAITI  AS  NEVER

BEFORE.  MAY  THEY  RECEIVE  EVERY  SUPPLY  NEEDED

AND  AID  ARRIVE  QUICKLY  AND  SAFELY.   MAY  THEY  SEE

THE  WORLD  SHARES  IN  THEIR  SORROW.  MAY  AT  EVERY

BUILDING  THEY  COME  TO  MIRACLES  WILL  BE  FOUND.

WE  PRAY  FOR  MIRACLES  LORD.  REACH  DOWN  WITH  YOUR

ARMS  OF  LOVE  AND  GATHER  THEM  UP  ONE  BY  ONE  AS  A  HEN

WOULD  HER  CHICKS.

MY  PRAYERS  ARE  WITH  HAITI  TODAY  AS  WELL  AS  ALL  THE

OTHER  PEOPLE  WHO  ARE  IN  NEED  OF  A  MIRACLE

WHO WANTS DIFFICULTIES IN THEIR LIVE

                                                                                                                               XOXO AMY

THE  MORE  DIFFICULTIES   ONE  HAS  TO  ENCOUNTER,  WITHIN  AND  WITHOUT,

THE  MORE  SIGNIFICANT  AND  THE  HIGHER  IN  INSPIRATION  HIS  LIFE  WILL  BE.

~HORACE  BUSHNELL

ALTHOUGH  THE  ABOVE  PICTURE  IS  A  CARTOON,  IT  HAD  A  POWERFUL  MESSAGE  TO

ME  WHEN  I  LOOKED  AT  THE  HUGE  SNOWBALL.  IF  YOU  THINK  OF  A  SMALL  SNOW-

BALL  YOU  WOULD  JUST  MAKE  WITH  YOUR  HANDS,  IT  IS  NOT  ALL  THAT  BIG.

WHEN WE  HAVE  WORRIES  IN  OUR  LIVES,  THAT  ADDS  A  LAYER,  WHEN  WE  ARE

HURT  BY  FRIENDS  OR  FAMILY  AND  THOSE  ISSUES  REMAIN  UNRESOLVED  THE

LAYERS OF HURT  KEEP  GROWING  AND  BUILDING  UNTIL  YOU  HAVE  A  SNOWBALL

OUT  OF  CONTROL  AND  NO  ONE  EVEN  REMEMBERS  HOW  IT  STARTED.

I  PRAY  THAT  ALL  THOSE  SNOWBALLS  OF  HURT  MELT  AWAY  THIS  2010  INTO

COMPASSION,  FORGIVENESS,  AND  UNDERSTANDING  OF  THE  WALK  EACH  PERSON  IS  ON.

PRAYERS  ARE  NEEDED  FOR:

SHARON,   MELANIE  AND  FAMILY,  A  SWEET  BLOGGER  WHO  IS  TRYING  TO  CONCEIVE  A

BABY,  LADY  KATHERINE,  ELISABETH  AND  ROY,  BILL  AND  KARRIE,  CAS  AND  WILL,

ASHLEY,  PEGGY,  REBECCA'S  PRECIOUS  DADDY,  MAGGIE,  JEFF  AND  ROBBIE,  PATRICIA,

DORIS  AND  RICHARD,  TAWNA  AND  MIKE,  DONNA,  JUDY,  BECKY,  ALL  UR  MILITARY,  POLICE,  AND

FIRE  MEN  AND  WOMAN,  ALL  THOSE  NEEDING  JOBS,  NEEDING  A  HOME,  IN  POOR  HEALTH,

ARTHRITIS,  DIABETES,  CHRON'S DISEASE...KATHY,  AND  ANYONE  WHO  NEEDS  PRAYER...YOU

KNOW  WHO  THEY  ARE  LORD  AND  WHAT  THEY  NEED.

"I  SHALL  NOT  DIE,  BUT  LIVE,  AND  DECLARE  THE  WORKS  OF  THE  LORD."

~PSALM  118:17

THIS  IS  THE  THOUGHTFUL  BOUQUET  BY  FTD.

THOUGHTFUL  TUESDAY.........THAT  MY  BLOGGING  FRIENDS  BE  WARMED  BY  THE  KIND

THOUGHTS  I  HAVE  FOR  THEM.

THE JOURNEY OF THE ANGELS

TO MY DEAR BLOGGING FRIENDS.

YOU ARE THE "JOY OF MY LIFE" AND YOUR COMMENTS YOU HAVE POSTED

FOR ME HAVE HEALED A PART OF MY HEART. IT WAS LIKE UNWRAPPING

BEAUTIFUL JEWELS, THAT SPARKLED. THESE COMMENTS AND CARDS MY

CHILDREN HAVE MADE US OVER THE YEARS WITH FAMILY MOVIES ARE

WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN OUR LOCKED FIREPROOF BOX. WITH AMY IN HEAVEN

THEY ARE MORE PRICELESS THAN EVER. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE ALL

ON VCR TAPES. MY VCR IS BROKEN AND I WILL HAVE TO TRY AND REPLACE IT

BEFORE YOU CANNOT GET THEM ANY MORE.

I WAS SUPPOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN PINK SATURDAY AND I HAVE BEEN

SICK IN BED. OH, THE DRAMA OF IT ALL......LOL

MY APOLOGIES TO SWEET BEVERLY. I WAS EVEN READY FOR PINK

SATURDAY. SO I INCLUDED A FEW PINK THINGS AS A "I'M SORRY!"

I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE LATELY. I KNOW I HAVE

DISAPPOINTED A LOT OF PEOPLE.

MOTHER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO GRIEVE. I RECEIVED THE

MOST BEAUTIFUL COMMENT FROM THE MOST PRECIOUS LADY WHO MOURNED THE

PASSING OF HER GRANDMOTHER AND DAD. SHE SAID SHE WENT ON TO

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS BECAUSE HER GRANDMA TAUGHT HER HOW TO GRIEVE

BY EXAMPLE. MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER DID THAT SAME THING. SHE TAUGHT

ME BY EXAMPLE. SHE WENT ON WITH CHRISTMAS JUST THE WAY SHE

HAS FOR MY 54 YEARS OF LIFE, FOR OUR BUTTERFLY AMY AND FOR

EVERYONE.

FOR MY SWEET FRIENDS WHO DO NOT KNOW, I HAVE STARTED A NEW BLOG.

YOU CAN GET TO IT FROM MY PROFILE PAGE OR THE URL.

IT IS CALLED "SIMPLY DEBBIE"

http://iamsimplydebbie.blogspot.com

PLEASE STOP BY AND VISIT IT.

I WANTED TO SHARE THE WORDS TO A SONG ENYA SINGS

THE JOURNEY OF THE ANGELS

LYRICS BY~ROMA RYAN

SOMEWHERE

IN A WINTER NIGHT

THE ANGELS

BEGIN THEIR FLIGHT;

DARK SKIES

WITH MILES TO GO,

NO FOOTSTEPS

TO BE LOST IN SNOW

THEY FLY TO YOU

OH, NEW-BORN KING

THEY FLY TO YOU

OH, ANGELS SING

ONE IS SORROW

ONE IS PEACE

ONE WILL COME

TO GIVE YOU SLEEP

ONE IS COMFORT

ONE IS GRIEF

ONE WILL TAKE

THE TEARS YOU WEEP

NEW STAR

IN A MIDNIGHT SKY

IN HEAVEN

ALL THE ANGELS FLY

SOFT WINGS SO TRUE

AND ALL THINGS

THEY WILL GIVE TO YOU

SOME WHERE

IN A WINTER NIGHT

THE ANGELS

BEGIN THEIR FLIGHT

TONIGHT

ALL SING

OH, ANGELS

A NEW-BORN KING

TONIGHT

ALL SING

OH ANGELS

A NEW-BORN KING

I WISH ALL THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS FOR US IN 2010 TO FIND

THEIR WAY TO OUR DOORSTEP...THE SUNSHINE OF FRIENDS...HEALTH, SO

WE CAN VISIT THOSE WHO ARE ILL...PROSPERITY, SO WE CAN

HELP THOSE IN NEED...MUSIC, SO WE CAN CALM THOSE WHO

GRIEVE, AND A LONG BATH EACH NIGHT WHERE WE CAN BE

STILL AND HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.

2010 SOUNDS SO FUTURISTIC....REMEMBER THE JETSON'S......

DO YOU THINK WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AROUND OUR SPACE CARS

THEY WILL HAVE ANY IN PINK...WHAT WOULD THE ROMANTIC

HOME LOOK LIKE THEN...WOULD SHABBY CHIC BE OUT....LOL

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WINTER BOUQUET FROM FTD. I WISH I COULD

SEND EACH ONE OF YOU A REAL ONE BUT ((SIGH)) I CAN'T SO

PLEASE ACCEPT THIS ONE. YOU ARE ALL SO VERY SPECIAL.

I FORGOT TO PUT MY PENNIWIG ANGEL AS I ALWAYS DO

FOR " ANGEL HUGS" BUT SHE'LL FORGIVE ME AND KNOW I STILL LOVE HER
