Hello my friend;
Please visit this web page and read their testimony, 26 days ago I left you a comment, that if you could help in anyway, we would greatly appreciate it. We are down to the wire and have 2 weeks now until they have no more home, if you can find it in your heart to donate anything, it would be a BIG help to Angie and her 4 children.
Daily Bread site I created for this Outreach for this family, in this season of need.

May today there be peace within.....
May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to
be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that
has been given to you...
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
sing and dance. It is there for each and every one of us.
Have a wonderful & blessed day!!!
