Shabbat Shalom, Happy Purim, and a Happy Weekend to All 3/10

sunala — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 18:13:57 GMT

Shabbat Shalom to all who observe the Sabbath, and a very happy and healthy March weekend to all!

Happy Purim to those who celebrate. Are you dressing up in costume? How about booing and hissing? I used to twirl my grogger while booing and hissing to Hamen. Gotta love Esther!

A BIG WELCOME TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JOINING US TODAY!

May all your loved ones be healthy, but if they are ill, may they soon be well.

To those of you and your family with health issues, may everything turn out well. May your medical tests and those of your loved ones come back with happy results. May your medical treatments be successful and may you live a long and happy life.

Sending prayers of healing and strength to you and your loved ones.

Now, even more than ever, may our leaders find the wisdom, courage and strength to make the right decisions for our security and well-being.

Good thoughts and thanks to our military. May they come home safely and SOON. Bless all the servicemen that didn't make it home; and to those who are serving, thank you for being there to protect our safety.

Special prayers for all the children...may they have good health, enough to eat and drink, a warm bed, and the abiding love of parents and family who will protect them. May the children survive and thrive. No child should ever go to bed hungry, nor should anyone else in our beautiful, bountiful country. Help the food banks if you can. Even a little helps. May our own children be healthy and happy, and shed no tears of pain or sadness.

May your parents be healthy and happy as well. I hope everyone's mom and dad and children are healthy, and/or getting better.

Condolences to those of you that have lost a parent or a loved one recently. May you find the strength to carry on, and hold good memories of your blessed loved ones to keep you strong.

Try to do a good deed for a friend or a stranger. They'll feel good, and you'll feel better.

Dear Donna, I'm thinking of you and everyone else who has lost a dear loved one. Whether recent or not, it still hurts.

Good health and happiness to everyone who shares their thoughts and prayers and good wishes with us every week. Hug your loved ones every day and make sure they know you love them.

May the best of everything come your way, today and every day.

Wishing you all the very best xox

Sunny

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Purim Sunny!

I love and appreciate your writing so much. There is so little Judiasm at QVC. I have sent multiple emails to QVC about it but never received the courtesy of a reply. And so many of the venders are Jewish!!

The second Yehrzeit for my Dad is approaching and I'm in a very bad way. I've actually been in a very bad way since losing my very beloved Dad. But I appreciate your prayers so much.

Many blessings to you Sunny.

Shabbat Shalom to all my "sisters" and Happy Purim.

I made hummentashen, but cheated w/ refrigerated sugar cookie dough and toddler prunes and toddler apricots. Came out delicious & close enough for us. Left out 4 & froze the rest (very quickly) so wouldn't eat them.

Please check out Passover Recipes on Recipe Forum and feel free to add family favorites. We will be checking there.

Thanks to Sunny for many laughs all week, but on Shabbos, my weekly dose of prayers.

😘

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I do buy from Or Paz because they are Jewish and I have planted olive trees in Israel and each tree I have had planted a family can earn income for seven years. I go through my Rabbi to buy these trees and I also support financially the military in Israel.............and if we can say I LOVE BIBI.............he and his wife just celebrated their wedding anniversary............go online and google him and type in picture of BIBI when he was young, my my he was a hottie and I love him and he knows it.............My Rabbi is friends with him so when I hug my Rabbi I am hugging BIBI.

@Burr53 please accept my condolences for your beloved father, may his memory be a blessing. Many of us understand the pain of losing a parent or a loved one. It never really does go away, but we learn somehow to live with the loss. Some people find it helps to talk about their loved one. Feel free to do so if it will bring you comfort.

I'm so glad you found our weekly thread. Please come back again whenever you feel the need. I start a new thread every Friday, but you can post anytime, as many of us are always looking to see if anyone else has posted.

My best to you xox

Good Shabbos Sunny and friends,

I have such wonderful Purim memories. Sunny, were you ever Esther? Maybe in the next life I will be.

My father never allowed me to be the Queen. He said it would give the impression of favoritism if the Rabbi's daughter were to be chosen.

Wonder how many carbs in hammentashon (sp, doesn't look right). maybe I could have one and give the rest away.

oxox, good to hear that mr ox is doing well. It will take a bit before he is healed.

Been working in the garden. Trying to coax things back to life after the rain. So many years of drought have taken a toll.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Keep up the good thoughts.
