How To Mend A Broken Heart?
============================
.
How do you mend a broken heart?
.
We get a lot of prayer requests asking to simply pray for their
broken heart.
.
So what do you do when you’ve got a broken heart?
.
Here are four steps that will help you up that mountain.
.
1. Occupy 2. Gratify 3. Sanctify 4. Glorify.
.
Occupy:
Occupy your time, don’t sit around moping.
.
Do something.
.
Idleness is the soil of self-pity and depression. Get busy.
The best thing that you can do is to do something that helps
others. It’s a universal principle that when you start focusing
on helping others, your own problems are diminished.
Don’t just stand there, DO SOMETHING!
.
Gratify:
Write a list of the things you like, then pick three of those
things and put those things in your life - now.
Make sure you can afford them and that they aren’t harmful.
When our hearts are broken, we often deprive ourselves of the
things we enjoy. Make an effort to put enjoyment in your life.
.
Sanctify:
Do good. Don’t return evil for evil, hurt for hurt, pain for
pain. Don’t wish something horrible would happen to the other
person. Hope for their good fortune in your spirit, and it just

Tampons
========
.
My son told me how wonderful the care packages we had sent them
from the ladies auxiliary were and wanted me to tell everyone
thank you.
.
He said that one guy we’ll call Marine X, got a female care
package and everyone was giving him a hard time. My son said,
‘Marine X got some really nice smelling lotion and everyone
really likes it, so every time he goes to sleep they steal it
from him.’ I told my son I was really sorry about the mistake,
and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told
me not to worry about Marine X because every time I send
something to him, he shares it with Marine X.
.
He said when my husband and I sent the last care package, Marine
X came over to his cot picked up the box, started fishing
through it, and said, ‘What’d we get this time?’
.
But my son said they had the most fun with Marine X’s package.
He said he wasn’t sure who it was supposed to go to, but the
panties were size 20, and he said one of the guys got on top of
the Humvee and jumped off with the panties over his head and
yelled, ‘Look at me, I’m an Airborne Ranger!!!!’
.
One of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew
in the wind like a windsock. He said it entertained them for
quite awhile. Then of course…….they had those tampons. When
he brought this up, my imagination just went running, but he
continued.
.
My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the
Chap-Stick and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the
items from his care package and got in the Humvee. As luck would
have it he grabbed the tampons too, and my son said everyone was
teasing him about ‘not forgetting his feminine hygiene
products.’
.
He said things went well for a while, then the convoy was
ambushed and a Marine was shot. He said the wound was pretty
clean, but it was deep. He said they were administering first
aid but couldn’t get the bleeding to slow down, and someone
said, ‘Hey! Use Marine X’s tampons!’ My son said they put the
tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told Me,

“Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no
time and effort searching for peace and contentment
and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is
no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume
you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops
on yourself.”

When was the last time you were challenged to do something really…
well… great?
.
President Abraham Lincoln helped me to understand that there is a
bit of greatness within all of us. It is said that he often slipped
out of the White House on Wednesday evenings to listen to the
sermons of Dr. Phineas Gurley at New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
.
He generally preferred to come and go unnoticed, so when Dr.
Gurley knew the president was coming, he left his study door open.
On one of those occasions, the president quietly entered through a
side door of the church, took his seat in the minister’s study,
located just off the sanctuary, and propped the door open just wide
enough to hear the preacher.
.
During the walk home one Wednesday evening, an aide asked Mr.
Lincoln his appraisal of the sermon. The president thoughtfully
replied, “The content was excellent… he delivered with
eloquence… he had put work into the message..”
.
“Then you thought it was an excellent sermon?” questioned the aide.
