God is always listening

Last Friday I delivered bags to the hospital while there I was told from one of the regular girls at the desk that she was upset and feeling that people were not appreciated of the bags they seem to go threw and take what they want and leave the rest I told her that I wasn't happy to hear that but that I couldn't quite making them because if we help anyone that its worth it. I left and discussed this issue with my hubby later that weekend. Feeling down about it I went on with my regular routine.
Monday morning I received an email from a fellow who had spent the night in the ICU waiting area and wanted to thank me for the wonderful bag after his sweet comments he stated that he didn't use some of the items so he left them for someone else to use::::

Well GOD will keep you straight it wasn't that they were not appreciated it was that they are sensitive to others and don't want to waste our hard work.

That same morning I received an phone call from an Albany woman that wanted to say thank you she discovered the bags at 5 am in the morning, since she didn't need the blanket or pillow she left them neatly beside the other bags.

Sorry God I will do better with my thinking and go positive unstead of negative next time!

New Venture

I'm am excited about a new venture that I am embarking on. But I will need info from others to accomplish this mission. I am looking for people in need. If you know such individuals or family's email me or call with their request. Some examples would be as follows::

Need home cooked meal delivered
Need an error ran for them
Need a card sent to cheer them up
Need a visit or hug

This is a beautiful world we live in. And times are hard so its easy to get overwhelmed or depressed. So I want to help in some small way Little things do matter. This is in the early stages of my Venture but my plans are to do at least one good deed a week I will set one day aside to do something for somebody. But I need some request I cant get to everyone one of them I'm sure but small steps. I want to get the request and fulfill as many as I can under cover. I wont tell who requested unless you want them to know. Sometimes we all need a little help but would be embarrassed for folks to know so the low profile will help keep their pride. So let me know if you know of a deserving person. I cant do everything but heres some of my passions

Seniors
sewing
cooking
TALKING
fellowship

just to name a few

Thanks for you time and helping me make someones day.
