Happy New Year to All!!

I pray that God will bless everyone in the new year and keep your families safe and healthy. I pray that those who are out of work find work, those who are sick will be healed and comfort and peace for those suffering.
2008 has been a tough year for my own family with the loss of my father, my husband and I were laid off at different times and difficulties caring for my mentally handicapped brother, but I am hopeful that 2009 will hold new, brighter opportunities. We will meet the next set of challenges head on and without fear because we know that no matter what - God is with us always and He loves us and cares for us as He always has and always will!
God bless you all!!

Merry Christmas to Troops!

To all of our guys and gals fighting for freedom's sake, sleeping on a sandy desert, in a hut or other strange place, minus the comforts we take for granted here, with dusty boots or wet uniforms, home sick and missing family but proud and eager to serve the country they love so much yet asking so little in return -
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MAY GOD COMFORT YOU, KEEP YOU SAFE AND REUNITE YOU WITH YOUR LOVING FAMILIES SOON. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY, SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO YOU! YOU ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN AND YOU ARE NOT TAKEN FOR GRANTED!!!

USA Cares - Support our Troops!

Please visit www.usacares.org to see how many different ways you and your family, right down to the kids, can help support our troops and wounded warriors!
You can merely donate, develop creative ways to fund raise and get your business or other group to do a "Red Shirt Friday". ALL proceeds go towards helping wounded warriors, helping troops avoid foreclosure on their family homes, and helping during financial crisis. They provide a hand up - not a hand out. There are some great ideas here!

Please show you care! God bless our troops and their families!
