Oh Tea Pot, I remember while we were at WDW she had some issues going on. I was thinking about her the other day.

She is in our prayers for kind and alert medical personnel, and comfort of the heavenly kind for your daughter and her wonderful parents.

Aww, tea pot! Prayers and for you, your DD, and your whole family.

Tea Pot...prayers and best wishes to you and your family at this challenging time.

Prayers and best wishes to your whole family, teapot! Thinking of you!

Tea Pot - DiznyDi & I both are jumping into the prayer pile for your DD.

Sending them up right now.

Thank you all so much. I was holding it together pretty well till I read all your posts.

We spent the day at the hospital yesterday and have been given a scary preliminary DX.
We will be continuing with several test and specialist visit over the next few days and into next week.

I'm praying for strength and peace in acceptance.
Yesterday I kept thinking of the foot prints prayer...."It was then I carried you."

I"ll keep you updated and my heartfelt thanks again

Footprints in the Sand - Poem


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”​

I know everyone knows the poem Joy is talking about.
But I love it so much I had to read it again and wanted to post it in case anyone else wanted to.

Still in our prayers, Joy

It's one of my favorite prayers, too. I first saw it when I was a teenager in a shadow box with dried flowers. I bought it for my mom and dad for Christmas so it hung in our home for many years. I can't even count the number of times it has helped me remember that God is always with me.

Still praying here in WI for a better diagnosis than anticipated...

Hang onto Him with all your strength. We will keep the prayers flowing Heavenward.

Tomorrow is 1/1. You know what that means:

Happy New Year!!!

And more importantly:

Happy Birthday Eliza!!!​

 

[blossomz]

Jill! Very cool!

Happy birthday dear Eliza!

Ink: Cindy is adorable !

And...Happy New Year to all!!

 

[horselover]

Happy New Year everyone!!!!! And of course.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZA!!!!!

 

[Granny]

I'll be driving to Orlando tomorrow (starting about 4:00 a.m.) so let me take this opportunity to say:

Happy Birthday Eliza!!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Happy New Year Groupies!!!!

Happy Birthday Eliza!!!!
Hope Vegas is good to you!​

Maybe I'll see you at SSR Granny! Have a safe drive down.

I may be insane but for my New Year I've ended up cobbling together a little trip to FL. I had the opportunity to go to a conference in Miami. That together with holding points that we had from when my Mom passed away left me thinking that it was a perfect opportunity. Airfare to Orlando was a LOT less expensive and the car rental for the week is less expensive compared to flying MCO to MIA. Ever since Mom's passing I've also been feeling like I need a little escape on my own so hopefully it'll be a good thing that way too. But wow - DVC is busy!!!!

I'm going to be at SSR on the 5-7th, VB 7th-9th, Miami 9th-12th, SSR 12-14th. A mini tour of Central and East FL. I had the lodge for the 12th but couldn't get the 13th so finally decided to switch to SSR. I've been calling daily to try and get the 7th at WDW also but so far nada. Hopefully I won't be sitting at VB in my parka! One night would be ok but I'm a little worried about two. I'll have my first stay at SSR. That'll complete my tour of WDW resorts and leave only HHI (and Aulani) as resorts we need to check out.

 

[franandaj]

Happy Birthday Eliza! Pull a lever or two for me! We'll be there in a month!

Kat, your trip sounds like a lot of fun! I have many more resorts to check out before I've seen them all. Hope to get back to working on it soon!

Granny have an awesome time!

Teapot, you're still in my thoughts, hope everything turns out better than expected.

 

[DiznyDi]

Lots happening this week for our little band of Groupies :

Happy Birthday Eliza!

Inkmahm, your new little pup is as cute as can be. I'm sure you're counting down the days until she comes to stay!

Kathy, that's some traveling schedule you've got! DDad and I have decided that we're through with split-stays; just too much to pack, unpack and repeat as necessary. Have fun!

And Granny, you have fun, too! Safe travels. Enjoy the World and all it has to offer. May you be blessed with warm sunshine and dry weather.

tea pot, continued prayers for you, your family and the medical professionals who you have entrusted your daughters care.

Wishing all our Groupie friends a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

 

[Granny]

Di & Alison...thanks for the kind words regarding my trip. It's 3:30 a.m. and I'm waiting for DD to roll out of bed and into the car to begin our trip south.

I hope all Groupies had a safe New Year's celebration...and welcome to that auspicious date of 1-1-11.

I'll check back in a couple of days when we get to AKV. Be well, my friends!

 

[jimmytammy]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wishing you all good health, love, wisdom, & happiness in the new year!

 

[cheer4bison]

Happy New Year Groupies!!!! Wishing you all health and happiness in the months ahead.

Happy birthday Eliza! I'm making the black-eyed peas recipe you posted a few years back in the hopes of securing good luck for 2011!
