Today what a big surprise! Receiving message from Ling, and others!

Oh, I'm so happy!

Hi ladies,

I got back in town last night, after being gone for 4 days in Idaho

and Montana, and it was just glorious....such beautiful country up

there!

I need to say that I don't know what is going on with the group, as

I have not read any of the former posts, but I sure have gotten an

earful from some of the members in private emails and it does not

sound pretty. Not at all.

What a sad thing to come home to. I really had hoped that everyone

would be doing great and that everyone would be of one mind and one

heart and sticking together to help one another through bad times

and good times and just being good buddies, helping those who have

questions.

I want you all to know that I am in prayer about this...I don't know

if it will do anyone any good for me to go back and read all the

posts and respond to them. I almost feel like I should just grab

you all by the hand and say, " C'mon, let's find a peaceful place

where we can just hug each other and lift each other up, and know

that we've been through alot together. Let's share our hearts in

ways that are kind and uplifting, and encourage one another because

our way in this world is hard. "

It certainly is for so many of us. I think about you guys all the

time. We drove almost 3000 miles in 4 days, so I had ALOT of time

to think and pray, and I did pray for you guys.

I want to know how you are all doing....Are you doing okay? Are any

of you in need? All of you please answer me...Are you hanging in

there okay, healthwise, or are things tough right now?

, did I hear right that you are pregnant girlie? Woo hoo!

That is exciting news and I am soooooo happy for you! I feel like

dancing! I bet you were just tickled pink with your good news! When

you are due ??? Ahh, some good news!!!!! Good news brings joy to

the soul!

Please, please, please, everyone, let's be of one mind to remember

the needs of each other for gentleness, kindness, peace and

tranquility, and that our love for one another is important. It is

important because love is healing and forgiveness is even more

healing. Love and forgiveness are powerful, powerful healing

emotions, as much for the one forgiving as the one forgived. Petty

arguments accomplish nothing. Who actually benefits? Nobody. Well,

perhaps the ego.

I don't know what happened first, but also remember that people who

post that are rude and ugly will fade away if they are ignored! And

that eventually those that are not of the same mind will leave when

they see that they are getting nowhere here. Please do not think

that I am naming names or thinking of anyone in particular. I have

not read any of the posts on the group, so I am clueless as to who

is involved except for a few names mentioned in private posts to me.

What I am getting at is that if we have been offended, instead of

taking it out on the person who offended us, we should ask God to

help us release the anger, hit the delete button, and so move

forward. Sometimes the best response to offensive posts is no

response. (I know, it is very, very hard. But that peaceful feeling

when you've moved into God's presence is so much better, don't you

think?)

I'll be getting posts again soon...I apologize to those who are

waiting for a call or a letter....I am trying my hardest to keep all

my plates spinning....

God bless every one of you, seek Him first, and all things shall be

given unto you. I know this to be true in my own life, and I know

it will be true in yours also.

Love,

Patty
