Poetry for My FMS Friends

 

                                                      “A Prayer For Those Suffering”

May Thy grace be found sufficient

For the suff’ring of the hour;

May they know Thy strength in weakness

And the fullness of Thy pow’r.

May they know Thy lovingkindness

May they feel Thy tender touch,

      In the hours of their suff’ring

Be it little, be it much.

May they sense Thy Spirit’s closeness

In the days and nights of pain;

May they know, Lord, that You trust them

With the suff’rings You ordain.

               

               

May they rest upon this promise:

               “I will never thee forsake!”

              
               May they see throughout their suff’rings

               That You make not one mistake.

  

May they wait on Thee for answers

               Which will come in Heav’n above,

          All the while trusting daily

          In the comforts of Thy love.

Share a Receipe: September 11, Saturday at 12:30 PM

That's right! It's just about a week away from our kick-off for the regular monthly meetings. Help us out and bring a recipe and sample for some healthy finger food. With the holidays coming we all need to keep the pounds off and eat well; so if you have a tasty and healthy snack you want to share, make some and bring a card with the recipe printed on it along with your name. I will scan them and send them to everyone on our email list.

The battle on finding a unique virus at the root of CFS is still ongoing, but my own opinion is that it may be a different virus or more than one virus causing problems within a specific population. For instance, there was a great outbreak of CFS in Britain last century. Perhaps if it was a viral problem, it may be specific to the common genetic code of the British and a different virus for a population of people, for example, in South Carolina. I wish there could be some consensus on this. My hope is that our researchers look for more than one single virus for all people groups.

I hope you are enjoying the benefits of lower temperatures and lower electric bills, too. Hope you are getting some exercise and will be at our upcoming meeting. Let me know by email (drgreer@charter.net)if you will be attending with your recipe in hand! (A low calorie fruit smoothie sounds good right now.)

Yours,
