Friend
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
This Is Beautiful!!!!!
She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'
The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it.'
Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'
The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally
The mother said, 'It was Jimmy 's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'
Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy 's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.
The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house.. She carried Jimmy 's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.
She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:
'Dear Mom,
I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.
Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross.. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Tid Bits
Some of these tid bits I am adding are from my friends and family. I thought that they were cute and wanted to share them with you.
Aunt Flow
Recently this past week, Nicole Dishuk (age 31...newly grad student witha doctoral degree about to start her new career as a doctor) was flowninto a nearby hospital, because she passed out.They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her byhelicopterto the ER to operate. by the time they removed the right half of herskull to relieve the pressure on her brain, the clot had spread to herbrain causing severe damage. Since last Wednesday night, she wasbattling, they in deuced her into a coma to stop the blood flow. Theyoperated 3 times... Finally, they said there was nothing left that theycould do... They found multiple clots in the left side of herbrain...the swelling wouldn't stop, and she was on life support...Shedied at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a husband, and 2yr old Brandonand 4 yr old Justin.. The CAUSE of DEATH - they found was a birthcontrol she was taking that allows you to only have your period 3X's ayear... They said it interrupts life's menstrual cycle, and although itis FDA approved... shouldn't be - So to the women in my address book - Iask you to boycott this product & deal with your period once a month -so you can live the rest of the months that your life has in store foryou. *Please send this to every woman you know - you may save someone'slife... Remember, you have a CYCLE for a reason! The name of this newbirth control pill is Lybrel.
A Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understandingGod. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with anew attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and everyday to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth of my wrongdoing, and receive forgiveness. And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe that You change people and You change things for good reasons. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every one of my family members and friends and their families. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.. This is my prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Cafe Blonde
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed hisorder. He said, 'I want three flat tires, a pair ofheadlights and a pair of running boards.' The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appearstupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook,'This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of runningBoards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?' 'No,' the cook said. 'Three flat tires mean threepancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny sideup, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon. 'Oh, OK!' said the blonde. She thought about it for amoment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave itto the customer. The trucker asked, 'What are the beans for Blondie? I LOVE THIS ONE........... She replied, 'I thought while you were waiting for the<>flat tires, headlights and running boards, you mightas well gas up!' FOR ONCE THE BLONDE GETS EVEN!
Golfing
A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion,multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five-iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the Doctor asked him, "What happened to you?" Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a cow pasture. We went to look for themand while I was looking around, I noticed one of thecows had something white at its rear end." I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt." Still holding the cow's tail up, I yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like yours!" I don't remember much after that..."
MomTest
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff. You are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. "Oh...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad." "Exactly", I replied back with a big smile on my face.
