read and learn more about this, I do not mind contributing what I
can, but by no means did I mean to imply that I am better off or
have any more than most and probably even less. There was a point
and time in my life when according to the world I had nothing, but I
thought I was rich and had everything only because of the Lord. Here
is one example in how the Lord has blessed me. Someone needed an
item for their home and the Lord asked me to provide it. All I had
was my grocery money for the month, $200. and if I bought this
thing, then I didn't know how I was going to eat the rest of the
month, but I did buy it for this person and that very night
someone's freezer quit working and the food was going to ruin so
they gave me $300. worth of food. Thank you Lord, Blessings, Pamela -
