I Give Thanks

I am finally able to sit down and write a post as my pastor challenged us to do.I kept wondering who I would give my thanks too and only one person came to mind,someone I often wanted to tell this to but never have.

My #1 Aunt Donna,like Lynn's Aunt Linda,Donna has been someone that was more than a Aunt she has been like a Mother and a Friend.She would do anything for anyone but that is not what I wanted to Thank her for.

I was at the church the night of Shane and Amanda's wedding shower and I had only came to church since I was in her wedding.I haven't been going to church for sometime and I remember going to the alter and praying but it wasn't for myself, I was praying for friends since that was thing to do, I really didn't care much for God at that time and really it was all show. My Aunt Donna came up to me she was praying for me,I just remember this weight lifting off me and I received the gift of the Holy Ghost.Believe me that was the last thing I was wanting or looking for. The Lord knew the road that I heading and he sent me Aunt Donna. I just wanted to say Thank You. My life has never been the same since that night. U will alway's be my number #1.

The ARC

Tonight a few ladies and I from the church went to The ARC( the association for retarded citizens)They had their People First Dinner where people bring can food in exchange for beans and cornbread and then the cans are donated to faith mission. We really enjoyed our time there, it was the first time for me to do anything with the Arc and they were so happy and sweet. Sis. Johnnie Hale works with them and they love her,it was neat to watch her interact with them. If anyone has the time I would highly recommend donating your time to this organization. They have all age groups to work with from young children to elderly adults and they all sorts of activities they need help with.
