Do You Have Compassionate Eyes?

Do you have eyes that can see the pain inside another's heart...

 Eyes that never turn away from pain;
But show love and kindness to those in need or who are hurting possibly grieving from great loss...

Eyes that transfer strength and hope to one who is lost?

Sometimes when we take the time to slow down to feel another's pain and lift them up that they nor one-self will ever be the same....
   

We receive much more than we give... we receive the heart of a new friend.
 
Friendships and relationships are the only things that survive death... soon and very soon there will be no time left.

So make sure your relationships are good, worthy to be admired for you do not want to spend Eternity in Eternal Fire!

Subject: I RECEIVED GREAT EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE IN YOUR MASS TODAY! ST JOSEPH's CHURCH PALM BAY FLORIDA 9:45 MASS FEAST of The HOLY FAMILY
------------------------
From: Stephie Gustavson

Sunday December 27, 2009
Feast of The Holy Family
Dear Fr. Dennis!
Or would you rather be called "Father Clearly" ?? For I can SEE MORE .... And MORE CLEARLY than ever in my life!
The lives of anyone who both Knows and Loves GOD has Miracles chasing them down and all around where ever they go!
I am sure your life is not an exception... I write you not to brag about myself.... But rather HIS Written Word says: "Let the redeemed of the Lord Say So!
And what GOD has done for me to even keep me alive to this day that I may even be alive still today, that I may have walked into ST Joseph's for your MASS, received Communion on my tongue as I have my entire life....
Today, I am almost a half a century I am.... 49!
My Lord for the first time ever in my life fell from my mouth, and my hands flew to catch HIM! That in itself you must realize was a Miracle that I could catch because before, I could not see!
I was in the birth canal for over 10 minutes with a flattened cord.... born dead and recesitated had brain damage that baffled all doctors whoever met me. And my eyes cast to the side and I had eye muscle surgery at 3 months old.
I have never had any depth perception nor peripheral vision my entire life...

I since arriving in Florida, where priests were leaving out Mass parts...going from the Our Father and a sign of peace directly to distributing Communion... giving me not the opportunity and my need to fall upon my knees to say: "Lord I am not worthy, but only say the word and I shall be healed."

Struggling interiorly because of this, intellectually knowing GOD protects the innocent lay folks from the sins of the priest, yet that is because, or I have always thought because no one but GOD really knows the condition of any soul.... so how could anyone such as myself make a judgement to not go to a particular priest's Mass.

But in the case of leaving out Mass parts, and most of all congregations like the priest were also not reverent of The Lord's presence in the church's tabernacle and not even during the Consecration. Everyone was standing, not kneeling for the Consecration except for me and most were standing around with their hip stuck out and irritated watching their watches ...How much longer?

Well Jesus in his speaking of being the Good Shepherd said "My sheep hear My Voice and no other voice will they follow!" So if priests do not even reverence the Consecration of Jesus in their own hands... who following them will?

And thus it was because of this grieving GOD did a miracle for me!

While I was grieving not knowing to go receive or not, for I knew and understood that he was leaving out Mass parts and both the priests in most all churches in Florida we had been to up to this point were doing so.

I grieved over these young ones whose only examples are these... how can they learn to truly Love GOD?
Jesus appeared to me in dazzling white and said to me: "If you do not come receive me worthily, who will?"

I cringed, because, I know I fall short of HIS Glory! All have sinned! I know that all accomplished by me, was not accomplished by me, but by HIM through me. I know how little I understand when I am not in union with HIM.
And when I received on my tongue today and My Lord fell as I struggled to catch him...
I heard HIM say: " I did that" HE was on my wrist which has hurt for years from computer use, crochet... I realized when I heard HIS voice and when we hear HIS voice we are to harden not our heart regardless where we are!
I realized HE wanted to heal me, I let HIM rest on my wrist before lifting HIM from my breast as I lowered my head to consume HIM.
I rubbed my other wrist against where HE had layed on my other one...
Praying that not just the pain in my left wrist and arm... but the pain in both wrists and arms and cricking cracking coming into my knees I believed for too...
For Fr Harold Cohen taught me long ago to always be Esther! His woman and GOD's who never takes no for an answer ...
Who never settles for less than GOD's best and that nothing is too big or to small to request!
For we worship a GOD of more More More... and not a GOD of less or just enough!
Our GOD Almighty... My Sugar Daddy since I was born in 1960...
Actually yearns to give me and each child of HIS infinitely more than any of us can ask think dream or imagine!
So I was not about to settle for just one wrist and arm healed and seriously improved vision which is still improving now as I type!
HE did when I was on my knees in ST Joseph's, just after receiving HIM, spoke to me an instruction. " Go to my seashore and sing to me upon your knees at the seashore and cast into my ocean all your mountains and those of all whom you love!"
And so I did!
My Billy and me went up onto the beach in the same place we have been each day for weeks, we layed out my fleece robe upon which he sleeps.
I got upon my knees and began to sing new songs of thanksgiving, love and praise.
My Billy-Jacob wanted me to be quiet I was attracting too much attention...
But I was not about to buckle again under his pressure! See GOD has held me accountable before for obeying my husband under his pressure instead of the LORD!
So I sang even with greater exuberance greater Faith and fervor! My Billy-Jacob left me on the beach due to his embarrassment!
I sang all sorts of things casting specific infirmities of mine, my husband's, and of many people we know... that HE could wash them away permanently as HIS tide rolled back out!
I danced and ran jumped as I sang stretching out my arms and legs...
There were many observers but I hardly knew they were there....
For both Fr Harold Cohen, Fr Joe Dionne and Mother Angelica taught me well in this department!
Mother Angelica always says: We are all called to be great Saints do not miss the opportunity! And if you want GOD to do the impossible you must be willing to do the Ridiculous!!!!

And if we are ashamed of HIM publicly, HE will not speak for us before HIS Heavenly Father!
So I was determined I was not going to lose my healings and not be satisfied with just....
I am grabbing for HIS better and best ... I could never be accused of being a Martha Martha....
That was my husband along the beach.... " Billy Billy your EstherStephanada has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her... you can choose have it too if you do not quiet her!"
My Billy did return and sat on a bench far from me and watched me dance shaking his head saying "I came here to rest!"
Eventually I danced over to My Personal Elder in Heaven's Gate....
Come on Billy dance with me.... Lead me and I will follow!
He brought me back to where he had left my robe and he laid down and went to sleep and asked me to do the same....
I rested next to him but stayed awake watching! I laid my hands and wrists over the different parts of him that have pain from arthritis, varicose veins, his tennitis ears that do not hear so well... I spoke to all these infirmities you have no authority in his body, mine nor those we love!
Monday
December 28, 2009
And my husband and I are both pain free now PRAISE BE TO GOD...
I am still asking GOD with great expectation to heal Billy's varicose veins completely...
They appear much better!
I began typing this as soon after we left the beach following your Mass... but when it got dark
I could not complete, so here I am!
I have been blogging about GOD's Miracles since February 2009... Here are a few links I have over 30 and it would Bless me and the Lord if you not only go onto them and read them, but click the comment buttons on them and write to me on the blog pages and click where it will say either "Become a Follower" or "Be the First" or "Friend connect and invite those in your email contact list to do the same!
Because though I do what GOD instructs me to, and I am registering them with search engines...
The ones that show up the most when anyone searches the topics I write about are those with many Followers and comments!
I praise GOD we were at your Mass yesterday and not another..
We look forward to hearing from you! GOD Bless you always!

Hello,
Not only can I see a much larger range than just the tiny cone of area as before....
I am now actually able to pick out my typos that cause email to come back to me. Those of you who have known me the longest, know I always needed an email sent to me first...
For me to click onto to ensure proper delivery!
What GOD has done for me and for us... HE will do for anyone for HE is not a respecter of persons but FAITH... and ALL it Takes is a Mustard grain seed of it and you like I can speak to your Mountains of sickness, pain, debt, headaches of any kind in your life or the lives of your loved ones and cast them into the deepest part of the sea and be gone forever Amen and Alleluia... FAITH & not doubt is All you need!
Nothing is impossible! But Rather ALL Things ARE POSSIBLE with & for GOD! PRAISE THE LORD! AMEN AMEN!
Since GOD is bringing my Billy-Jacob state to state with his teaching program, we are rarely going to be able to attend the same Catholic Church more than once or twice... We will not be changing our Church Parish Registration.
It makes no sense. Our Lord Jesus went town to town spreading HIS Gospel, but always returned to Jerusalem

Hi Stephanie,
that's a Great picture -- and also great news about your healing. you have wonderful faith.

I had a friend that gave me a good teaching on "be submissive to your husband". It was a lesson about "trusting God" and really submitting to God in the ordinary things. There is no conflict when following the word of God
- if, for example, I, the wife would rather do some praise and worship but my husband wants me to be quiet and to sit down and watch the news with him, I can submit to the husband as an 'act of submitting to God' and I can 'let God be in the ordinary moment' of watching tv. I've learned that 'a good way' is not better than "God's way". God has done more when I have done less- it's a "let go and let God" kind of thing...

I just want to encourage you to not think that you have to "choose God " over your husband. God has taken care of that. If you refrain from singing and dancing aloud because your husband asks you to, it is both honoring God and your husband to make the sacrifice. Besides, your spirit can sing and dance and pray even when your outer self is quiet. I believe that God does use our husbands to do "His will". For example, maybe God knew of someone on the beach who really needed to hear His voice-----maybe the "quiet" would have suited His purpose better. The sound of the waves makes me think of God.
Well, I better get off--getting late-
, I hope you guys are staying warm! I know it is cold even in Florida now. It's been in the twenties and the wind has been blowing----

I'm keeping guys in prayer-
take care
love ya,
Teresa

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SEE THROUGH HIS EYES INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN...... BUT WE AT TIMES MUST FORCE EVEN OPTICIANS TO DO THEIR JOB CORRECTLY!

Who would ever think that in this country the USA...
That most states do not even license opticians...
They are the ones to whom you take... your prescription for eye glasses or contact lenses!
I am I am sure you want some joker who learned on the job, from another who also did not go to school or was... never appropriately tested whether they work for JC Penneys, Sears, Vision Plaza,
Pearle Vision or Lens Crafters!

We need no Monkey See Monkey Dos or Do nots when it comes to those who treat ones health!

Thanks, Stephanie. It was a beautiful message.

God bless you.

God Bless You Sr Rose!
I just received my first pair of glasses that were my appropriate prescription and do not hurt my head. They are bifocals and it is going to take me quite some time to learn how to look through them because they just no longer offer as large of a lens as they once did for women.
So the bifocal part for reading is rather small. But it is amazing Blessing!
It do nothing to give me peripheral vision or depth vision.

Thank You For Your Pledge/ PLEDGE WITH ME NOT JUST TO FIGHT DRUNK DRIVING BUT>>>>

Impaired Driving regardless to the cause!!!
Below you can see the statistics of how many people die because of drunk driving!
But how many more should not be on the road due to other types of impairment!
Some that have absolutely no legal penalty!!
Most States do not License Opticians who measure a patient and makes their glasses and contacts to the doctors orders!
Since in some states they do net even have to go to school, but apply for a job, with on the job training! No testing! No Continuing Education!!
Do your Eyes have it???
Or are you like me, not seeing what you should!!!

MADD: Campaign to ELIMINATE Drunk Driving

Dear Mrs Stephanie,

We are deeply grateful for your support of our efforts. Your pledge makes a difference -- Every year, nearly 13,000 people are killed by drunk drivers with an illegal alcohol level of .08 BAC or above. This represents more than 1,000 families every month that must live with the tragic consequences of drunk driving. Although alcohol-related fatalities have declined by more than 40 percent since MADD was founded in 1980, progress has stalled in recent years.

That is why MADD is launching a major new offensive in the war against drunk driving through its Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving. By intensifying efforts, creating alliances and developing innovative solutions, together we can take the fight against drunk driving to a new and unprecedented level.

Through MADD's Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, the possibility of eradicating a primary public health threat that has plagued the United States for a hundred years is now within reach. Join us.

Please consider making a charitable donation in support of MADD's lifesaving work.

Once again, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Laura Dean-Mooney
MADD National President

I have had botch jobs by opticians throught my 49 years of life/ NOW LICENESED STATES WANT TO STOP LICENSING BECAUSE OF COSTS!

As you can see the ABO-NCLE says that states who license now are looking to stop because of costs and lobbyists of stores who make glasses and contact lenses.
If they could hire Opticians that do not have to be educated, keep taking continuing education each year, nor pay for licensing exams, they can pay them less and charge us the patient consumers more and make deeper profits at the cost of each persons health who enters their store and the safety of every citizen in this country who must either drive or be a passenger in a vehicle on our countries roads!
Anyone driving without properly made glasses is driving Impaired no differently than a person drinking or doing drugs. Impairment is impairment regardless what the cause!
As of now driving with glasses made in a unlicensed state is not a crime and is totally acceptable, but should not be!!

What has your group already done or are doing to have all states license?
I am very serious about furthering this cause and I do not want to reinvent the wheel....
I have a history of successfully petitioning local stores to carry salt free breads etc when I was in Louisiana and I know that every citizen in this country has the right to start a petition and send that petition through Congress...
I know a great deal about lobbying being I was born in the Sodom & Gomorah of the new world where it was fashionable among many to be crooked with financial backers.
I am going to write online tonight "Mothers Against Drunk Drivers!" They will have a canary probably do not know this problem exists!
GOD BLESS YOU!

YIKES MY EYES HAVE FINALLY SEEN WHAT THEY NEVER SAW BEFORE!!! TAKE A LOOK AT MY FLOOR!!!

No One could ever imagine the dirt & grime that magically appeared before mine eyes... like MAGIC once home for the very first time with appropriate Glasses!!!

And All because I am now in a state that requires Opticians to maintain a license!!! Be properly educated no different than nurses or doctors!!!

And to my horror, this morning I received a note from the national organization of Opticians telling me that some states that license now is required, plan on dropping licensing because it costs too much for testing!!!

The wonderful John Rizzo of LensCrafters ib Concord NC explained to me today the hows and wherefores that are politically driven by money & I scratch your back so you better scratch mine!!!

The Usual... Lobbyists!!! Pressing the right... or should I say wrong buttons...
Depending on which perspective you are coming from!

Optical stores want to be able to hire cheaper labor, which means they want to hire uneducated persons who do not pay annual fees for their license.

So folks lets band together & mobilize... We must FIGHT THIS for our own safety & the safety of our children & our children's children!!

Realize that people in all states that do not license have OOOODLES of people who are licensed to drive on our country's roads & highways... who even if they take care of themselves keeping up with annual eye exams.... but if they through no fault of their own are working and driving with the wrong lenses...

They are driving impaired but legally acceptable by the laws of this great land!!!

But it is costing the lives of an uncountable number of folks who die daily on on highways & byways & country roads like the ones YOU & I LIVE ON!!

EstherStephanada here saying you can make a difference... write and call your Congressmen & Congresswomen... Your Governor & The White House! Tell ALL the Dangers and Demand That Opticians be licensed everywhere in this country... That all accidents that can be prevented will be!!!
GOD BLESS YOU... and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

DO YOUR EYES HAVE IT??? OR YI YI YI YI...OUCH MY EYES!


I definately want to tell my story!   It is really amazing that I am even alive to tell it!

For starters I had my first adequate eye exam of my life!
Even though I had an excellent eye doctor for many of my teenage into adult life, he nor anyone else at anytime of my life told me in a way that I understood how to answer their questions that the use to determine a patients range of peripheral vision!
Remember as a child the eye care proffessional would say: "Watch the froggie on the stick...  now keep your eyes on my nose and tell me when you see the froggie!"

Well, a person born completely deaf lets say... usually has much sharper vision than the average.  Just as some blind folks hear such the faintest sounds I as a child thought my Grand Mothers had eyes on the back of their heads since their eyes on their faces did not work!

Well, I was born dead, recessitated, my eyes cast to side and could not focus on anything in front me, but saw only what was on the far opposite sides of me.

I had muscle surgery at age 3 months to correct this problem, but the world famous surgeon who operated on me.... Dr Robert Azar Sr must have never explained to my parents I would never have depth perception.

And after my recent exam by Dr Hasson, and June  of Cabarrus Eye Center in Concord NC, I learned that I also can only see what is directly in front of me eyes!!!

YiYi Yi Yi!!!  YIKES...  No wonder I have had soSSOOOOO many close calls...  GOD has literally snatched me from absolute certain death...  must be a trillion more times a day every day of my life since I first crawled!!

How overwhelmingly heart warming!!  And I not knowing...  not having a clue Never thanked GOD trillions of times which HE deserved enormous thanks and praise!

For I speed skated on Rollers... ans ICE....  YIKES!!!
Biked up and down ramps...  sometimes with my baby on my back>>>  Can you Imagine???

I can't>>>  How increadible is that???  Only in GOD can any soul find rest...  or in my case PROTECTION... as well also!!

On Friday, after returning to JC penneys Optical of the Concord Mall in  weConcord NC on HWY 29 near 601a really botched job pair of glasses measured by Vicki L Eudy after having them for a week after she had told me "You have to get used to them!"
We, my husband and I went to LensCrafters within the same mall!

John Rizzo measured me correctly for the first time ever in my life! Imagine needing glasses since childood and never having received an appropriate pair of glasses, not because your parents did not take you to fine doctors...

My parents I am sure paid out much on my eyes... little did not only they know that I could not see anything...  not even a tiny fraction of what I can see now...

Even though Only GOD can correct my depth perception and lack of peripheral vision.

I am positive my parents never knew just how blind I was!!!
Because through out life they got angry, popped me "Why don't you watch where you are going???"

When I came home with my wonderful LensCrafters glasses, I Actually came home Horrified that My HOUSE IS FILTHY!!!!!
I could not see most dirt & grime!!  I am very overwhelmed by how I have not been cleaning my house, though I have been going through the motions of doing so.... sweeping... scrubbing each part of the house!

I felt so sick seeing the crud we have been living in I could Vomit!!  No wonder my husband has been so frustrated!!  Having nothing but horror stories of Lens Crafter's in
New Orleans LA area, and combine that we thought the gentleman in LensCrafers Concord a bit wild and unmarried... no Wedding Band...

I was a bit afraid to have his face & hands that close to mine!

That is why I had gone to JC Penny's to begin with...  I was a bit nervous getting into the face of an unmarried man!

But much to my delightful surprise... John, the LensCrafters guy though like me very energetic and a bit too eager & enthusiatic to help me, or so I thought....

He is very much a gentleman...very educated, highly respectable and honorable man!

Turned out he like my husband is an American Vietnam Veteran, having been in the same part of Vietnam as my husband.  He & his wife are both Catholic like us and share the same convictions about many issues concerning todays society.

His Wedding Band was cracked and he & his wife getting new bands and renewing their vows soon after 37 years of mariage!!

So this once again proves the scripture...  WE CANNOT JUDGE FROM OUTWARD APPEARANCES...

We are not to judge others at all... For only GOD can see the heart!!
And though we are told to be weary of those who wash their heads and wear fine robes.... whose insides make GOD VOMIT....
Often if we by pass one who "Seems" to be a bit this or that...
We could be passing by a pearl the Lord Himself placed in our path to Bless us!

I recomend to anyone in Concord/Charlotte NC area to get their glasses from John Rizzo at LensCrafters....

He does the finest work... he educated us as well...
How many folks are aware that not all states license Opticians!!
Obviouly Louisiana where I was born does not!!  Not much of a surprise though to me!!

So much in Louisiana has been substandard compared to other parts of the country!

This is just a tip of still another iceberg... another hole in the fabric of both colorful politics to match the Swiss Cheezy way every thing has been done in all facets of life in the BIGGEST HOLE in the ground beneath the sea!
