Never give up hope.....

When I was 3, I was literally killed in a car accident right outside my front door. Over 2 minuets passed before the paramedics brought me back. I don't remember anything from that time, other than the knowing I am here for some reason. My mother, and best friend, died when I was 12 years old, the day before valentines day. i found her dead on the floor from a brain aneurism in our local VFW bathroom, where we had gone to listen to my father play music that night. A few years later I dropped out of high school to care for my heavily disable father, and I spent every day caring for his needs, until the day he died when I was 18. I was also 9 months pregnant at the time with my oldest son. My Son's father didn't show many signs of abuse until after my papa had passed away, and I was pregnant with our second son. After years of bruises and broken bones, and 4 children later, I finally gained the courage to leave him. I found myself in an abuse shelter with 4 babies, leaving my home of 20 years, and every physical possession I had ever owned. It took bringing me to my knees for me to find hope, love, and faith. I was saved shortly after. Through the works of many amazing people and blessings of God, my family is whole. Every time I have thought things were not going to work out, they did, and so I have stopped worrying, and now I just give it to God. Money is always tight, life is still stressful and difficult. I still have a son who feels the anger and sadness that a life of abuse can bring, wounds that cannot be seen or healed easily. I have never seen a cent of the tens of thousands of dollars that is owed to my children by their father, and stress is ever present every time I tell my kids that I am sorry we cant afford shoes that fit, or underwear that doesn't have holes, and I just wish I could be better for them. All of the pain and struggles are worth it though. I know I am blessed. We have not gone hungry in years, we may not have everything we want, but we have more than we need. My Children have a man in their life they consider their dad, and he is every bit a good man that they need to look up to and learn from. Blessings may not always be something we can see, but they are comforts we enjoy, security we feel, and love we share. I now help run a homeless shelter for other people who find themselves in the situation I was once in, and I volunteer for habitat for humanity to help provide other homeless with a place to call their own. I also sing in my church choir, work for the daycare, and volunteer whenever they need me and I am not in school. There will never be a way to repay the kindness that people have shown me and my family, but I want to do all I can. God Bless EVERYONE.

I AM IN NEED OF A CHRISTMAS FOR MY THREE KIDS!!!!(PLEASE HELP)!!!!!!!!

I am a mother of three wonderful children and I am getting by with making ends meet, but this year like the last hasn't been a Christmas at all. I didn't have any money to get a tree or gifts and I was hoping that this Christmas could be different, but I haven't been able to any of what I planned due to me just getting this job and paying bills. I haven't asked for anything in the past and theres one thing that I would do and that is ask for help for the sake of my kids and making them happy at least this one time. I'm asking for help in making this Christmas special......Thank You and may God Bless you All!!!!!

My Prayer for Each of You

Too often as adults we become too prideful. I was most guilty of this. I needed to go through life's trials to get to where I am at in my life. Our children are most precious gifts from God and as such He has blessed you. There is nothing wrong for asking for help. We all have issues in our daily lives that want to weigh us down, however, if we give the issues to Jesus, He will find a way, and carry you out of the darkness. I pray that Jesus will bless you and your family. I ask Jesus to send His Angels and have them wrap themselves around you and your family and give you protection, peace of mind, and fulfill the needs you have in your life. If we give up and lose our faith we will ultimately struggle more and more. Jesus promised us that he would not give us more than we can bear. I believe this wholeheartedly. My prayer to you... Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

I need a blessing

I have wasted many years in prison and have made many mistakes in my life, I went back to school and recently received my high school diploma on June 21, 2011 with honors. I was awarded the National Adult Education honors society with a letter of recommendation for finacial aide and/or scholarship. I don't have anyone to help me or give me advice on the first steps I need to take to get into college. I'm interested in college of southern nevada because it is local and I am familiar with this school. I am seeking help in finding someone to give me dental work at no cost. Times are hard for me but I am willing to do all that is necessary to continue to be successful. If anyone can help me, it would be a blesssing.

Can you feel in your Heart

Well I am writing again for help this community has failed my family our water was turned off Wednesday and the power is being shut off Monday. I have contacted the places that were suggested and put in applications to no avail. I have pleaded for help and now they will want all the bill plus deposits and connect fees, I guess all this will be on someones mind as they eat, drink, shower and enjoy their cooking talents. The chidren will be so happy to know someone actually cared for a family down on their luck. What would you do? If you think I am being harsh in any way, I do not intend to offend just to say you people were on our hope list too! Sincerely, Sunangel1959

Po Folks.....

"PO FOLKS"

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."


"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Oh Yeah" said the son.

"So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father proudly.

The son answered, I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

Here is a poem for all of AidPage it is very true for all of you so I was compelled to share with my V-Day Cheer:

People come and people go,
In and out of your life and so,
When one shines bright among the rest,
And is there when needed, you’re truly blessed.
That is how I see you, friend of mine,
And why I’m sending this Valentine. 

 

Lots of Love,

PittsburghMomma

(Next Monday is my Birthday!)

"We Are Blessed"

  All of us have problems and they tend to overwhelm us. If you come to know anyone deeply enough you discover that he has problems. Usually,too, he feels that his problems are the worst of all problems. He is so close to them, that he feels that they must be the heaviest problems that anyone can have. It is just in this kind of situation that we need to pause and remember our blessings in order to see our problems in proper perspective.
    An attitude of “count your blessings, not your troubles” will change our basic life attitudes from negative to positive. If we can see our day to day problems and even our longer-range problems against a background of our blessings, our lives can be much happier, and we will be much more constructive in facing our problems.
  It is easy to focus our lives on problems. For example, a sore finger or toe dominates the whole body. Actually, it is only a small member and it may not even he seriously injured, but a sore finger or toe makes us forget about all of the more intricate parts of the body that are functioning normally and concentrate upon the minor hurt.
   In still another area advertising emphasizes what we do not have. To turn through a magazine, or watch television for an evening, leaves one with the feeling that what he already owns is out of date, old fashioned. and inadequate. We see prettier homes, newer appliances, and generally more appealing material of every kind. The whole point of the advertising is to encourage us to discard what we already have and buy something different. The point I wish to make is simply that it is quite easy for us to focus our lives on what we do not have, or on problems which press upon us, to the exclusion of the things that we do have and the blessings of our lives.
   If we allow our focus of life to be on the negative, we will constantly be unhappy and miserable. If we dwell on what we do not have rather than on what we do have we will never be able to achieve happiness
   Let’s focus our attention on our blessings. Let’s think of what we do have instead of what we do not have. It would be good exercise for each one of us to sit down and make a list of all our blessings, and then to post that list in some prominent place where we can see it daily as we go about our usual routine. We must let the positive dominate our thinking in order not to become negative minded, pessimistic, and defeatist.
   Recently, I made a list of my blessings. It began with life, family, food, shelter, and clothing. These are broad categories, and under each one I can think of specific points that are worthy of a great deal of thought and consideration. For example, my life has been saved recently by the skill of a good doctor. I am newly married and have a wonderful wife. I have a home, food to eat, and clothes to keep me warm.
   Then I thought about the beauties of nature. What a wide range of thought this suggests. God’s sky, trees, grass, flowers, hills, valleys, streams, lakes, and all the rest that go to make up the physical setting in which we are privileged to live our lives. Also on my list was the fact that we live in a land of freedom and of opportunity. We can choose where we live and what kind of occupation we will enter. We are constantly invited to go through various doors of
opportunity,
   Then, above all of these in my list was the fact that we are, children of God. The intimate, personal relationship we have with Him is a blessing beyond our description. The Bible is also a blesing, it is our ever present and dependable guide. We can carry it with us wherever we go, read it whenever we like, and know that it contains the foundation principles upon which we can build a happy and successful life.
   My list also included the fact that our own natures are wonderfully planned. We have the capacity to think, the capacity to make choices and the ability to love. God has made us in His own image, and all of these factors play a part in our realization that we are living souls, and that we will live on eternally.
    Even our handicaps usually turn out to be blessings. .For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing. Troubles are often tools by which God fashions us for better things.
   In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
   If we want to be happy, and if we want to be pleasing to God, we must count our many blessings. We must learn to count our blessings and not our troubles, We should show our gratitude to God for our many blessings, for He is giver of all good gifts. The fact is our blessings far exceed our problems.
   I know that there are times that it is hard to see the blessings through the pain, but I assure you that when you attempt to thank God for what you do have and stop focusing so much on what you don't have, happiness will soon follow.
   May the Lord bless you. May He meet yout needs, and bring joy to you heart. May He comfort those who need comfort. May He embrace the lonely. May He heal the sick. And, may He fill your life with many more blessings to count.
 God Bless

"The New Year"

The New Year

May the hand of our Lord always guide you
May His love always fill your heart
May the peace of His heaven fill your world
As this new year begins to start

May his grace in your mind be steadfast
And may the light of His Spirit fill your face
May you never feel any loneliness
As you live always in His tender embrace

May your spirit be lifted every day
As you write down what He gives to you
May you always strive to touch others
The same way that He did love you true

May you be charitable and kind in your daily walk
May you never find prejudice for others within
May you always in your life be humble and loving
As this new year does now begin

And may each step you take fully resemble
The life our Lord always did display
And as you do you will surely be blessed
As He lovingly guides your life each day.

Ekikasevens prayers

Thid one is for you Ekikaseven, I believe with all my being that your heartfelt prayers for my Kevin have been so instrumental in his recovery. I have never seen him so eager to work at getting his health back. It's almost as if he is driven to make sure he does all the things his doc has perscribed for him. He no longer has fear of not waking up and he is full of plans for our future and whats more, I believe him. My fear of losing him has slowly gone but not all the way and I think that is the way it should be. I can't thank you enough for the words of g-d you said for him and myself. You are such a treasure to all of us here and your words of prayer are not to be taken lightly. We all owe you so much as you have helped to part this world and cradled us during the healing process. I personally do not know what I wouldhave done without you and your prayers when Kevin went through his heart attack and stroke. You have even made a huge difference in my stubborn old spirit and brought new light into my soul/ and for that G-d bless you. my love sheshe030
