“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42:5,6
“David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6
“You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’ You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.” Isaiah 57:10
“The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.” Isaiah 9:10
“Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees. But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed. Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope? Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed?” Job 4:4-7
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [a] and crowned him with glory and honor.” Psalm 8:3-5
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.” Psalm 31:24
“We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:13-18
“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
“And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:30-31

“All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.” 2 Thessalonians 1:5

I found this article quite sad. My grandmother had a doll collection. I think she had about the same number of dolls as she had grandchildren. She lived far away from all of her grandchildren, and she did indeed love dolls.
I believe she missed her family so much that when she and my grandfather became too old to visit, her hope was lost, and she began to lose her memory to block the pain of separation. I think Alzheimer’s has a purpose.
“Families are living apart these days, so grandkids are giving the dolls to their grandmothers and daughters are giving them to their mothers,” said Bandai’s Tajima, 24. “It’s a little odd, but the dolls become like a substitute.”

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job 3:25
One thing I have recently begun studying is the relationship between happiness and health, as well as the part forgiveness and “letting go” plays in healing.

I find this line from the Declaration of Independence to be absolutely brilliant.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
United States Declaration of Independence“As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body.”
Lewis Thomas“Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by encumbering it with remedies.”
Leo Tolstoy“I see rejection in my skin, worry in my cancers, bitterness and hate in my aching joints. I failed to take care of my mind, and so my body now goes to hospital.”
Astrid Alauda“What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.”
George Dennison Prentice, Prenticeana, 1860“Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.”
Cicero“In a disordered mind, as in a disordered body, soundness of health is impossible.”
Cicero“A healthy body and soul come from an unencumbered mind and body.”
Ymber Delecto“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”
Irish Proverb“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Abraham Lincoln“Happiness depends upon ourselves.”
Aristotle“Man is the artificer of his own happiness.”
Henry David Thoreau“Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.”
Helen Keller“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
Helen Keller“All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within.”
Horace Friess“Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.”
Mark Twain“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22
Does breastfeeding protect a woman against breast cancer?
http://www.boston.com/news/health/articles/2008/04/21/does_breastfeeding_protect_a_woman_against_breast_cancer/
“There is a 2 percent drop in breast cancer risk for each five months of breastfeeding.”
” It has long been known that the fewer menstrual cycles a woman has over the course of her life, the lower the risk of breast cancer.”
“Breast-fed infants are less likely to become obese.”
I found this video to be very interesting. Have you ever wondered why some people die from heart attacks as soon as they retire?
“Conflicts involving territorial loss — such as losing a family member, your home, or your financial stability — cause changes in the coronary arteries of all animals — including humans.”
