I re-read your post again. I wanted to tell you something as only a good friend can. OK? Take all this sadness which you have stored up about your parents, the bitterness you have toward the woman that "stole your dad's heart", and give it to God. He can make things better. He can't changed what happened, but He can help you deal with the outcome better. By holding all of these feelings, you are doing more damage to yourself. The people can't hurt you anymore. It's up to you to push these feelings aside and give yourself permission to love life, the Doctor and your children. When you are unhappy, so are they. When you start feeling these old regrets and hurt feelings welling up inside think on Philippians 4:8. I won't write the whole verse because it is quite long, but remember to think on things that are pure, honest, just, lovely and of good report. In other words, push the negativity away from you and think positive thoughts. I care for you and don't want to see you thinking about things that can get you in a state of depression. (I know I've done it before). All it takes is one little negative thought and that thought snowballs into depression. Let's think positive things together, ok?<br /><br />God Bless,<br />PJPJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807442587587976098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670797907923308507.post-89421654599004079212011-10-10T13:08:19.798-07:002011-10-10T13:08:19.798-07:00I love to look at "old pictues of

He is our being, our breath, our creator. Therefore, to show love is to show the characteristics of God. Humility, meekness, kindness, charity, and all of His other attributes.

And the answer is "NO."<br />Unfortunately, none of us inherited my grandfather's outstanding artistic talents in the field of The Arts.<br />In fact luckily, I inherited some artistic talent in the form of lyrics writing and poetry writing. I compose lyrics and poems, plus tales, inspirational thoughts and so on. I also try to sing the best that I can. I used to sing in the Choir at my former High School Catholic Church. You see, I am a Catholic Christian. Most of Italians or folks with Italian heritage are Catholics. I plan to begin to include "Poetry, Praise & Prayer" in My Monthly Newsletters, if that is God's will for me.<br />I hope my Online friends may give me moral support and visit me often. Kindness is not expensive, it is our gift to give to others.<br />Have a blessed day, Child of God, with all your beloved ones!!<br />You are a real blessing as a friend. All the best.<br />Poet Starry.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670797907923308507.post-58436302489539482862011-10-06T08:03:05.060-07:002011-10-06T08:03:05.060-07:00Thank you, Clint for coming over to my site and ex...Thank you, Clint for coming over to my site and express your thoughts!!

Talent runs in your family...I wonder if you or your daughter or grandchildren have this talent. <br /><br />It is hard to have strife and divorce in the family. I am sorry you suffered here. Isn't it wonderful, though, we have a heavenly Father, a Daddy that will never leave or forsake us? A Papa that is always there for us we just need to seek Him out, read His word and allow His Spirit to heal the hurting places of our soul. Our God is amazing.<br /><br />Blessings and hugs girl,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670797907923308507.post-84819802759636746582011-10-05T04:30:47.225-07:002011-10-05T04:30:47.225-07:00What wonderful, enchanting old pix of your grandfa...What wonderful, enchanting old pix of your grandfather's gallery.

The photos are so very special. I love them. Your gandfather was a great artist. I cannot understand how the smell of paint killed him?? as many of the old time artists painted without a mask. One of the biggest killers years ago was actually T.B. which at one time was called consumption. Anyhow besides all that...I am so very glad you have these photos. You no longer have your gandfather, but you do have these wonderful memories. I feel you are so very rich to be able to look back on your past and know what a great man he was.. Wonderful. Much love Crystal xxxSr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670797907923308507.post-38129680880188186172011-10-04T17:18:18.422-07:002011-10-04T17:18:18.422-07:00You sure do have a lot of pictures of your past fa...You sure do have a lot of pictures of your past family and seem to know the stories of everyone.
