OK, it's not a question, but a comment.
I just wanted to give expression to the feelings of gratitude that I have for the people and feelings and stories and love that are shared because of the existance of this board!

I second that! Thank you, everyone for your sharing and caring!

Blessed be.

I'm greatful to Richard, Jennifer, Alain, Jody, Denise, (and Deborah, too), and all the admin staff for being working so hard at all the innovative and administrative stuff. I'm really thankful that this board has enabled us to become a Quantum-Touch community, a QT fambly. I loooove fambly time. I'm greatful for my QT fambly for being here for so many, for my blood family, and for me, and for each other. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so happy and grateful that Quantum Touch found it's way into my life.

I second what Cris says about being grateful to Richard, Jennifer, Alain, Jody, Denise, (and Deborah, too), and all the admin staff for being working so hard at all the innovative and administrative stuff!

Hi Chrissie, I wouldn't mind at all if some of that gratitude for stories could be turned my way, sometime.
I am spending much of my day sitting with a cancer patient called Chrissie.
Three days ago everyone, even I, thought we had said "Goodbye" for the last time, this time round. Yesterday, I told the staff that she had decided not to go, she was still unconscious but I could hear an improvement in her breathing.
Today she is her usual laughing, joking self.
Months ago, matron asked me to sit with her and cheer her up. I am not happy with my life circumstances and its always Chrissie who cheers ME up!
I have sat with many people while they went through their transition but its much harder when you have a lot of love for the person.

When I stop typing this, I'm going to give you a hug. Not a verbal kind of thing, but a real hug. Shame, you'll probably be asleep and won't feel it!
Thank you for all you do Huggie.

A gratitude thread,

Many Native Americans begin a prayer by saying, "Thank you for my life." Implied, not not spoken, is the inclusion of being grateful for All-That-Is, the 4 leggeds and two leggeds and the standing ones, (trees & plants) and the creepy-crawlies and the finned ones, and the Four Directions and all that they symbolize, and Mother Earth and Father Sky, and and and.

All that is intended, with those five little words, something I have never heard in any church. I always wonder, why not? It is a prayer that is complete in every way, and nothing else needs to be said, if the intention of gratitude is in one's heart.

Thank you for my life....and for yours!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, Native Americans seem to be more in tune than contemporary culture, but I think we are changing that.

You know i really believe that we are all connected. As a result of your mentioning the Thanksgiving prayer, I did a search which resulted in finding a book I know I would not have come across otherwise. It seems to speak to right where I am this moment!

Heartaches and Gratitude

I am convinced that the Lord puts people in our path to help us when we walk through the valleys of life. Having a child with cancer is a nightmare. I know, as my husband and I lived through such a struggle. We met people who understood, as their circumstances were the same. Unless you have had the fear, sadness and hopelessness attached to facing a severe illness with your child, you simply cannot comprehend. That is why those of us who have gone through such heartache need to become available to those who are hurting. Our most valuable lesson to you is to stand on God’s promises. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. He will supply your needs every day. Sometimes, it is a moment to moment decision to trust Him. He will never fail you. None of us have any idea how long we will remain on this earth, but He knows. There is purpose in everything He does. We can go boldly to His throne with our petitions, and yet, we must always ask for His will to be done. It is a privilege for me to put your son’s name before the Lord. I will pray for your comfort and for God’s strength to sustain you.

I think this is posted in the wrong place. It not a logical reponse to anything here. This is a message board about Quantum-Touch, not Christianity.

Here's an easy start for a new day.

When you wake up, open your eyes.

If you can see, be grateful. Your day has already gotten off to a good start!

Love to all.
