BETTY EADIEIn our thoughts and words we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths.
BETTY EADIEI may not understand why I have the illness, but I sense that it is there for a purpose, and so I thank God for it. I ask Him to allow me to expand beyond my narrow-mindedness and self-centeredness so that I can see the good that comes from everything.
BETTY EADIEWhen I awaken in the morning, I am thankful for a new day. I am thankful for everything that I have materially.

BETTY EADIEAbove all, I was shown that love is supreme. I saw that truly without love we are nothing. We are here to help each other, to care for each other, to understand, forgive, and serve one another. We are here to have love for every person born on earth.
