Well guys, I've been really down today and it kind of took me by surprise, because my life has been going fine, with mostly happy days.

I've been looking for a house on the net for a couple of months now for my baby sister who lives in Seattle. I found one over the weekend that I thought fit her perfectly. She went to see it and put in an offer today and it was accepted. The house is on an island, on the beach, and has 5 acres for horses. So I was very excited for her. She is still my best friend.

Later in the day, I started getting all of the self deprecating thoughts - probably can't keep the mobile home I'm living in (divorce pending), can't keep a husband.... You all probably know the drill.

So tonight I checked the mail for more bills, and was astonished to find a package addressed to me. It was from a place I don't know, here in California. I opened it, and immediately tears came to my eyes. It was from a member here.

I want to thank the person that sent it, and let them know how much it meant to me. It was so completely unexpected, and so right for this time in my life.

I'm looking at it as coming straight from the Lord.

Even though we don't know each other, we do care for each other, and that has brought so much into my life.

Don't ya just love this place !!!

God really does not work that mysteriously, Bel.

We always get back what we give.

By those standards, your mail box is going to be full.

Believer - everyone's allowed a little pity party now and then. I think if there was a poll here for everyone's favourite poster, you'd come in second, after me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.



Hope I made you smile!

Glad your day was brightened. You are such a giving person. You deserve much happiness.

Blessings!!!

Thanks. You know it is so strange, because I'm excited about my sister getting her dream home. I used to have to meet her at lunch at school because she was afraid to pay for her lunch.

Now she is an attorney, and a partner in a law firm. She has done well in life, and I'm thankful.

But just the contrast in our situations hit me this afternoon.

That is why it was the perfect day for a gift like this.

{{{{{Believer}}}}}. I bet your sister is so saddened by your situation and loves you dearly.

Just wanted to pipe and tell you thank you, also. You have posted to me many times, and I have defintely been able to relate to you and have come to really appreciate your feedback. I know you are an encouragement to so many--me included.

I know you're a "believer"--so let me remind you of something great--your home situation might look bleak right now--but one day--you'll have that mansion--and it'll be better than anything you could have imagined.

Isn't it great how God knows right when we'll need that little pick-me-up?

Whew! I thought you might be pregnant! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Sorry, just trying to lighten the moment.

Believer, I think the world of you. As I've said before, I think we'd get along great. It's a shame we can't sit down and have lunch or dinner together. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a MB friend nearby? I think so. I'd also like to thank whoever it was that did something special for you today. No one deserves it more than you.

I'm happy for your sister too. I think you should go move in with her and help her keep house. She's sounds like she's probably too busy to keep up with all the sand that's going to be dragged in from the beach! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Believer, always remember this:

Good for you! Glad God remembered your address. Do you think that He only sends 1 package a day due to in increased cost of postage? I'm not meaning to take away from your wonderful miracle.....but I've been asking God for his help for the past 2 years, but my life continues to get worse. Any suggestions? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I too have gotten great advice and caring from you....Praise God and I too remember to always keep our heads held high. For every day is a gift and we don't have any idea whats in store for us the next.

Welderboy,
Bless you.
