Thank goodness, I'm finally feeling better. I believe I've slept my way to a cure for this crud. Haven't slept so much in all my life. I want to share with you a beautiful prayer that my friend Marilyn posted on Facebook last week. I've never seen the prayer and I'll bet some of you may not know of it either. I do believe it could be a life changing prayer for us all. Here it is
Jesus Prayer by Cardinal John Henry Newman(This prayer was recited daily after Communion by Mother Teresa of Calcutta and her Sisters of Charity.
Dear Jesus,
Help me to spread your fragrance wherever I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that my life may only be a radiance of yours. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel your presence in my soul.Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I will begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
The light, O Jesus, will be all from you; none of it will be mine. It will be you, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise you in the way which you love best, by shining on those around me. Let me preach you without preaching, not by words but by example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears for you.
In this season of Lent it may be a good to take up this prayer daily instead of giving up something. If we pray this and really mean it, life will never be the same! Thanks for sharing this with us Marilyn! Till later----

Such a powerful prayer Sharon. Yes, this is one to say everyday and mean it! I am very sorry to hear you have been sick. Good to know you are on the flip side and perking up by now.
Thanks for your visit today. Maybe when the weather gets nice to can talk a neighbor into taking walks with you. That would be a great start. I love walking with a friend or daughter. Seems you can solve most of your problems with a nice companion to walk and talk with! :)
