Thank you

Thank you my friends. Thank you..every one of you who came to pray, help, clean, cook, or serve. My heart is filled with gratitude and overwhelming love. My family has been touched with all of your support and encouragement and help. We are so amazingly blessed. We are community and this is what true community is all about. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, how much money you make, how much money you don't make, where you go to church, or if you don't. We are ALL one body. How awesome life is when we all stick together and help each other. When you go outside of your comfort zone, your bubble, your little world, when you do acts of kindness and expect nothing in return, when you just let go..and love...and give..and help. When you let go of your insecurites, (don't you think that is what stops us from doing so many great things? We're so afraid of appearing stupid, or looked down upon, or feeling foolish??).. when you let go of your selfishness. Ahhhhhh, when you completely let go of your selfishness and insecurities....and let God come in... YOU will not only make the world a better place, but YOUR heart is going to feel so good and so full of joy that you won't even believe it. I know it's true, because I am a witness to what God does, when you completely give up your will, and give your life over to Him.
Thank you again and again! With a heart that is aching with love and joy and gratitude. Susan L. Hougelman
