Re: [MOL] Update on Dad/sheila/again



Sheila.....please for your sake and your dads...let the anger go...NOW!
Remember that yesterday is gone and there is nothing whatsoever that can be
done to change what happened yesterday, nor five minutes ago.. so please let
your heart be filled with love right now.. not anger.

Remember that there is God and there is heaven and there is no void there.
There is no pain and there is no disease...  May God fill your heart with
the warmth of His love and guide you to a place of peace and the ability to
release your anger and replace it with comfort and love...  Carla
