For some in my field I was too kind but to others I was the one they would call when help was needed to care for that person.

I pray for the power to continue what God has planned for me. We are all good at something. Thank you Ron, Debbie and Denver. Just watched this movie. It was inspiring and memorable. I cried. What can I do is always on my mind. This story stretched me to see what Jesus would want us to do. Thank you Lord for those that love you and encourage all us to be like you and to help us care for one another as you have.

You gave and give the power of love and Lord and I praise you for this. Such a beautiful story. We have so much to be thankful for, yet we complain daily over such small things. What a beautiful vision Debbie had and shared of m our Heavenly Father. He shared so much knowledge from his personal experience. So many horrible things he lived through.
