For The 3 Little Rutledge Girls




This page is dedicated to my two sisters Claudia and Theresa

or as I call them Midgie and Teddy!

For all those times when I needed someone and they were there.

The times we spent huddled in a cold dark car sitting outside a tavern waiting for our Mother.

The times we were hungry and they "found" something for us to eat.

The times we were scared and alone and they gave me comfort.

For all those times they cared for and loved me like they were my Mother.....

I love you my sisters with all my heart!

Midgie, you still cook for us whenever we are around just like you did when you were also little but the oldest, and Teddy, aren't you glad we don't have to hide in the bushes anymore scared that the police will take us away...

Loving you always, your baby sister Reeny..





If you are holding onto something

that doesn't belong to you and it was never intended for your life,

then you need to....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains....

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right,

love you back and see your worth....

LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding onto a job that no longer meets your needs or talents....

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude....

LET IT GO!!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help him/herself....

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed....

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it" then you need to....

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past!

Forget the former things for GOD is doing a new thing!

Let go and let God handle it all!!!!!




Walk With Me

At troubled times, I look for thee

The fears, the doubts, just hang on me

My thoughts of you, just fill my heart

For as I cry, just walk with me.



There's been sometimes, I fail you Lord

I know it's wrong, for what I've done

I'm sorry Lord, forgive me please

For all I ask, just walk with me.


Lift me up, in righteousness

To speak your words, of kindliness

I'll pour them out, upon us all

For there you'll be, to walk with me.



I'll praise your name, forever more

Your precious love, lives on and on

To all mankind, upon this earth

For where you are

He'll walk with you.

I Thank God for the Gift of my Sisters



I think of you

and my heart sings...





Not just because of

your quick smile,





Not just because of

your happy laughter,





Not just because of the way

I feel after I've talked to you.





It's all those things

and more.





My heart sings

with the knowledge that

God has given me a gift...





The gift of you,

for we didn't choose each other.





We were born into the same family,

and we became friends,





Not just sisters,

but friends.





We feel each other's pain,

and we share each other's joy.





I thank God

for giving me the gift of you.

Irish Blessing


I figured since we're Irish we better have one of these...*S*

May you always have...

Walls for the winds

A roof for the rain

Tea beside the fire

Laughter to cheer you

Those you love near you

And all your heart might desire.



I know this doesn't look very Irish, but I will try to find us some shamrocks!!


Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple;


and He who sits on the throne will spread His tent over them.


Never again will they hunger;


never again will they thirst.


The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.


For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;


He will lead them to springs of living water.


And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Revelation 7:15-17 NIV

Come to Me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest......Jesus Christ!!!
