I cannot Thank You enough for this information as I am grabbing my neighbor and we are going to buy shoe boxes and fill them up and take thenm to the Village Ave Christian Church.
As a woman of extreme excess through you I have also realized that I need to do more for people who have less.I am going to donate my Thanksgiving to serve food at the Fred Jordon Mission in downtown La and everytime I feel depressed or down...I am going to do something for someone else. I see from the post that the Holidays are coming as more and more people are joining our group and needing prayer. I think this season is going to be one of the \"worst\" seasons yet for the human race and I am staying in prayer to be able to help those I can and to be able to learn my many lessons still needing to be learned. Thank God for people like yourself. How \"lucky\" your family is to have a man like you in their lives. I didn\'t think men like you existed. I need to leave the Boardroom and start hanging out at Church more... God Bless you and your family...L
Thanks for getting the word out about this. I\'ve done this a few times in years past but unfortunately wasn\'t able to this year. ***HUGS*** Take care and blessings.
