A Special Guest Artist



Guest Artist: Debbie
http://iamsimplydebbie.blogspot.com

I would like to introduce my guest artist for today, Debbie. Last week, my husband walked outside to get the mail and walked in with a package in his hand and there were all these wonderful handcrafted gifts from Debbie. It was such a surprise. She is a true woman of God and inspires so many people, not only with her kindness but with her amazing story of strength.

You see, last year Debbie lost her beautiful daughter Amy to cancer. But, did Debbie get angry and bitter? No. Instead she helps others with her encouraging words and wonderful spirit.


If faced with the same trials in life, would I be able to do that? Could any of us? Well, Debbie is a living example of someone who loves the Lord in the midst of troubles and serves as a great reminder of how important it is to have faith no matter what is going on in our lives. I’ve never met Debbie in person, but I love her.

I hope you will visit her blog and say “hi.” It is a blessing to know her as it is to know so many of you who share your generous spirits and are such a balm when people are going through things that you hear about on here....

In truth, we are a community--a spiritual community of strength who are there for each other...I love you all.

XO
Cindy

  7. DEAR CINDY,
    I AM JUST OVERWHELMED FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE SHOWN ME HERE. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT AND LOVE THE LORD SOOOO VERY MUCH. I OFTEN WONDER HOW PEOPLE SURVIVE WITHOUT KNOWING JESUS AND WHEN I HEAR SOMEONE DENY GOD IT MAKES ME SOO VERY SAD AND THEY IMMEDIATELY GO ON MY PRAYER LIST.
    THE MINERS...PRAISE GOD...WHAT A MIRACLE. I TOLD RICHARD AS I SAW THAT SECOND MINER...SUPER MARIO COME UP ON THE PHOENIX AND WAS LEADING THE CROWD....PEOPLE CAN BE HEALED IN THE ELECTRICITY OF THAT MIRACLE...I CRIED WITH JOY AND ESPECIALLY AS THE FIRST MINER CAME UP AND HIS PRECIOUS SON BAGAN TO PRAY.
    YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS FOR WORDS.
    I HAVE 2 PRAYER REQUESTS FOR MY AUNT JEAN AND UNCLE BILLY...BOTH IN THE HOSPITAL....HE WILL BE RELEASED TOMORROW BUT SHE HAS BEEN IN FOR 5 WEEKS AND IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL ON MONDAY. SHE IS JUST MY MOST FAVORITE AUNT AND IS JUST LIKE A MOTHER TO ME.
    I WILL PRAY FOR WILL.
    HUGS AND LOVE
    SIMPLY DEBBIE
    YOU JUST MAKE ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON...A MORE GIVING PERSON
