A Military Spouse’s Prayer

A Military Spouse’s Prayer

Author Unknown


Lord,

Give me the strength of heart to see

The difference in duty and his love for me

Give me the understanding to know

That when duty calls, he must go

Give me the patience to know in my heart

That he is serving his country and doing his part

Give me the strength to carry on

When he’s working late or must be gone

Give me a task to do each day

To fill the time while he is away

Give me others who can share

The ups and downs and who’ll really care

Give me the wisdom to get me through

When I’m not quite sure of what to do

And Lord, while our family is here

Keep us healthy, safe and full of cheer.

Symptoms of a Stroke

Symptoms of Stroke

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.  The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:


*Ask the individual to smile.


*Ask him or her to raise both arms.


*Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.


If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.  After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions.  They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February.  Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

 

Tell as many people as possible about this.  It could save their lives!

Friendship

 

Friendship is…..

 

A friend hears the song in my heart & sings it to me when my memory fails—Pioneer Girls Leaders’ Handbook

 

A true friend laughs at your stories even when they’re not so good, & sympathizes with your troubles even when they’re not so bad—Irish proverb

 

A true friend never gets in your way—unless you happen to be on the way down. –Arnold H. Glasow

 

A real friend helps us think our best thoughts, do our noblest deeds, be our finest selves.—Unknown

 

Friends will not only in harmony, but in melody.—Henry David Thoreau

 

The friend who holds your hand & says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. –Barbara Kingsolver

 

The language of friendship is not words, but meanings. –Henry David Thoreau

Perspectives


 PERSPECTIVES
 
Count not your age by the years you have
But by the Happiness you give
The friends you make, the good you do
The confidence that is placed in you
The little things that day by day
Bring cheer to others on life's way
and count your birthdays one more mile
Upon the road of things worthwhile!
