Please say a prayer for the children who are hurt each day. They didn't ask to grow up this way.
They don't deserve the bruises and pain. What is happening to them is insane.
They want to have fun, laugh and play. But their innocence and childhood has been taken away.
Children need to be protected...they are a gift from above. So many of them have never known love.
This is an urgent request....please pray!! Abuse is happening everyday!!

Message to a Caregiver

Times are hard right now. It's okay to be tired and feel blue. You are dealing with things the best you know how. You are doing what you can do.

It's okay not to feel strong. Don't apologize for crying. Your days and nights are long. These times you are in are very trying.

Don't be afraid to call and share.  It's
okay to let it all out. Your true friends really do care. Please pick up the phone without any doubt.

I'm praying for you as you walk down this road. I'm asking God to help you make it through. I know you are overwhelmed carrying such a heavy load. Please always remember I'm here and I love you.

Our flag waves boldy from day to day. A sign of freedom that hasn't been taken away.
It flies high to remind us of sacrifice, unity and pride. Its a symbol we have to remember those who still fight as well as those who died.
Our country is not perfect and it never will be. But the American flag will always be a sight I'm proud to see.

It's never too late:
To reconcile relationships that need to be mended,
To apologize if I have offended.

To forgive if i feel someone did me wrong,
To move on and not let the battle prolong.

To start over again and take a different route,
To do it with confidence without any doubt.

To try real hard to do what's right,
To work on a resolution, even when it seems out of sight.

To lay down my burdens and try to let go,
To nurture and replenish, and try to grow.
