.........................................5 FINGER PRAYER...............................................
I had never heard this before. This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.
1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.'
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray enough for them.
5... And lastly comes our little finger
- the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO START AND END THE DAY.... The 5 finger prayer.....
There is a 2nd. piece from Dayzee below...( it copied and pasted with the other piece. That's says to me, the Lord wants others to read the piece). Trusting, Our Lord Jesus to Meet All Our Needs ...All the Time...100%... is easier said, than done...

Your ears will hear a voice . . . saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
My granddaughter Isabelle Grace is learning to walk. She’s done the usual things to prepare: pulled herself up, tiptoed her way around furniture, walked with her tiny hands secure in adult ones. But the other night she did it. She walked from her dad to her mom. Then from me to her PaPa. Again and again. We clapped and cheered every time she successfully covered the territory between us. But when we enlarged the space and tried for longer distances, she sat down and began to scoot.
When it comes to walking, Isabelle is still a bit tentative. If someone she loves is waiting with open arms, she toddles across the floor with sure-footed confidence. She feels safe heading for a familiar harbor. But if you try to launch her out into the deep water of the living room, scoot alert!
I can understand how Isabelle feels. Sometimes it’s hard for me, too, to keep walking. Life’s path is filled with pebbles, stones that either trip me up or find their way into my shoe. The hills are steep. And way too much of the trek has to be done in the dark. The urge to stop—to sit, hunker down, scoot—is strong. But something else is stronger: the pull of God’s loving arms reaching for me, the confident voice that says, “This is the way. Walk in it!”
So like Isabelle Grace, I dust myself off and, balancing briefly to get my footing, I step out in faith. Someone Who loves me is waiting with open arms for my safe arrival. All I have to do is keep walking.
Thank You, Father, for setting me on my feet . . . again and again and again.

Now my Grandma can't find the piece she had to go with this... We will be back! Hopefully, we will find it shortly.....  My Gram gets a little scatter brained when trying to multi-task. She has been doing that all day.........I think, it's time Gram sat quietly,listened to praise music and chatted with Jesus. (then we will find the reading we had).... |  |  | |  |

Grandma and her friend find today is a little brighter by having a break from their work. Plus a little time to Fellowship.
In the past we trained all our companions, so well that when the weather was bad...they would quit eating and drinking, until it improved. They wouldn't potty on a newspaper....they just wouldn't go... As they went down through their lives....this proved to cause all of them kidney/bladder issues in their elderly years. We just felt there had to be a better way.. in these harsher climates...
Hugs and Kisses to All
usually they don't look you in the eyes, their shoulders are slumped, their body just looks defeated..... A smile, a soft kind word, an ear to listen can turn that person's day totally around...Furpals are pack animals, but so are Human beings. We were Never designed by God to live as Hermits.....cut off from other People.... It would Amaze many people to know just how many retreat into their own private world because no one cared about them. It is heartbreaking to watch someone put themselves on a shelf and let the world and life go right on by without them. Go out and SPREAD A LITTLE KINDNESS! It is a free gift..........so give it away freely...........
