Linda336 Thank you for sharing with me about being at your mother's bedside and singing. It helps me to remember that as I held her close to me I would say to her intermittently, "Look for the light, Mom. Look for the light--and when you see it go to it! It will be...

Linda336 You are wonderful to pass such a sincere thing along to me. I have copied your poem because I love it. You have lifted me up and I, too, have been told that my Mother lives on through me. For my brother, it was harder when our father died than when our mother...

Linda336 Yes, yes, yes! You are the leader in this one. Changing your dog's name when you first get him/her is more than okay. I think it is a new start for them and they need to know they are now "..." I changed my new puppy's name and that was 8 years ago. She loves...

Linda336 I am pulling for you TriciaW! I gave up smoking more than 20 years ago and it was so hard, I cried. My dad was dying of cancer of the lungs (from smoking) and made me promise on his death bed that I would quit smoking and I did. So 2 years later...this is...

Linda336 Your prayer says it all. I agree with it all. Though, I would put one more thing in your prayer. I would put just before "Amen"--"In the name of Jesus Christ." Thank you for your belief and love for others.

How has the power of prayer helped you in your life? I know not everyone prays, but I do understand the powerful impact that prayer has on people, and on life. When was the last time you prayed. Do you believe in the power of...

Linda336 I agree with you and thank you for asking the question. I pray every day and every night. I often talk to my God in my mind because I believe personally that He cares what each of us is doing and thinking. I also believe that praying for ourselves and for...

How often do you trim your dogs nails and what method do you use? Do you clip them yourself, grind them, or do you take them to a groomer? I can't seem to keep my Chihuahua's nails down. They grow like weeds. I have been...

Linda336 I already posted once but guess i didn't do it right. I, too, am afraid to trim Hobbs nails by myself. I am so afraid I will hurt her. She is 80 pounds, too. I usually take her into the vets. But they are now 3/4 inches long and NEEDS help. I know it must hurt...
