Among Friends

[sunala]

Shabbat Shalom to all who observe the Sabbath, and a very happy weekend and "4th of July" to all who post here.

It's so rewarding to be able to come together here at QVC's message board every Friday and share our holidays together, regardless of our beliefs. I'd like to thank all you beautiful people who join us on Fridays, regardless of how and where you pray. I'd also like to thank QVC for allowing us to be here.

A BIG WELCOME TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JOINING US TODAY, and welcome back to all our regular posters. Your presence means a lot to us all 

*Prayers to all the children who are alone and frightened. I can't say any more but may they soon be reunited with their parents and their loved ones.

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

To those who have lost loved ones, know that they will always be with you in your heart.

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 dig deep to find the wisdom, maturity, courage, strength and sanity to make the right decisions for our security and well-being. G-d bless America!

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 your sacrifice and for being there to protect our safety.

Special prayers for all the children...may they be happy, 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 and grandchildren be healthy and happy, and shed no tears of pain or sadness. And, MAY THEY BE SAFE IN THEIR SCHOOLS!

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

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.

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.

Wishing you all the very best that life has to offer. A happy and healthy weekend to all!

Good Shabbos Sunny and friends,

Echoing Sunnys prayers for the children.

Shabbat Shalom to all my forum sisters.

Wishing you a restful weekend and a cool place to hang out until the heat passes. 

The granddaughters are spending the weekend and, of course, requested matza ball soup. Grandma loves them, but not enough to stand over a boiling pot of hot chicken/veggies to make the soup & another steaming pot of water to float the matza balls. I’ll have to get them interested in a cold delicacy. 😜

Good Shabbos and Happy Weekend! 

Is it just me,  do the weeks seem to get busier and fly by more quickly?  

TGIF! 

We are having hardwood floors installed in the dining and living rooms, as I write this.   It is loud, dusty and the dog is stressed!   Can't wait for it to be done!  I know it will be worth it in the end!    I am thankful to be able to make this upgrade to my home. 

The weather is going to be beastly around the NY/NJ/CT, aka,  tri-state area, this weekend.  It's going to be the dreaded 3 Hs....hazy, hot and humid.  Stay cool and comfortable!  

I echo Sunny's prayers for the children and their parents. 

Thank you Sunny for this kind, supportive place to end the week. 

Today is National Almond Buttercrunch Day.  

Enjoy and mangia! 

@hennypenny  I looked for a sugar free recipe  and came up short. I'm sorry.

 Happy 4th!!

            Echoing all the prayers and good wishes.   A couple of quotes that are on my mind today, from an expert on the subject and such a gentle man, Fred Rogers:   

           "When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention.  But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me."

            "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility.  It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.'  Then there are those who see the need and respond.  I consider those people my heroes."

             Have a safe, pleasant, mindful weekend, everyone.  Love and (((hugs))) to each of you!❤️

Shabbat Shalom to all you lovely people.  Thank you to the people who are taking care of those children - can't say anything else but my thoughts and prayers are with them.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend filled with good food, friends, family, pets, and yes, sunshine.
