What a rich testimony. I really admire how you have handled all of this and how much you have sacrificed for your kids. You were so patient with them all day long and do a great job balancing it all. I imagine it must be overwhelming some days. I hope that I can have the same strength and determination in my life situations that I've seen in you. May God continue to bless you, your new home and your family! Melissa Nora – Thanks for your comment and for sharing how you have grown through these experiences. What a rich testimony.

I was on the church's website recently, and I ran across your blog. Very surreal to open it up and read something about me! :) Anyway, I just wanted to say a very big thank you for your help getting my kids and I moved in to our new home. You are correct...I have learned so much in the past couple of years about being gracious. In the past, not only was I filled with pride, I was also very cynical about human nature in general. I was convinced that I could trust no one and that everyone was only interested in their own welfare. I guess a loving God decided I needed to not only be brought down a notch or two, but He thought it was necessary that I learn that His people delight in showing His love. The things that have been done for my children and I in the past couple of years have brought me to my knees time and time again. I have cried tears of joy, I have been awed and humbled, and I have learned to be grateful with an open heart. My only hope is that someday I can do for someone else what has been done for me. God is good. He has taught me about true Christian love and service. He has opened my heart and my eyes to see the good in those around me. He has taught me to be gracious. He has removed my cynicism and my hopelessness. He has given me peace. Thank you again, from a very grateful heart, for your help. Thank you for showing your love for our Father by showing love to my family. God's peace and blessings to you. Nora Hey Melissa! I was on the church’s website recently, and I ran across your blog.

I suppose there is something to be learned from this, hm? And in case a certain Melissa has not noticed, spring is quite awhile away. Whatever is the sun doing out during such a bleak period as this? Someone does appear to need more comments. I will drop by as often as I can remember to, and it is indeed wonderful that things are going well. Oh goodness, my pride certainly wouldn’t allow it.
