"BUT THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED."                                                                                                                            Matthew 10:30

To Those Who Wonder If They Are Loved Ever wonder what would happen, If you were not there? Would things be any different? Would anybody care? Ever wonder how they'd feel, If you were not around? Would they notice you were gone? Would they search till you were found? Ever wondered if you're wanted; If you're really needed here; Or if they really love you, And think of you as dear? Don't let your heart be troubled. Don't give it one more thought; For if you never had been born, Who'd know that you were not? And if by chance you go astray, And find yourself most lost, For sure they'd find you come what may, No matter what the cost; For if you were not wanted, Not really needed here, What makes you think they'd bother, To try to calm such fears?

Ooh. You reopened an old wound here. I know that no one would have cared at age 43, and that spurred me on to remarry. Thanks, Judy.

Thank you so much Jack. Just trying to state that family shows in many ways that they care but no matter how much they care in words and actions sometimes certain people don't see what they do just what they fail to do. God Bless, JB

Many people ignore others. But your example of how you live should teach them a lesson.

Thank you so much Victor. I agree, you don't have to beat people over the head with the Bible to show you are a Christian. Just let the way you live your own life be a silent example to others. God Bless, JB
