God gave me a wonderful day and I thank Him for it

Hello Sisters and Brothers

I want to tell you a story, it is a true story and I praise the Lord because He is in control and He loves every one of us.

About 3 years ago I went to a small country type, local talent, singing. There was a young boy there and he was 11 years old and he sang and then played the piano for us. He was still learning how to play so it was not professional but it was a great blessing.
I saw this child again about a year ago and I got the entire story of his life from someone that knew him.

He was born crack addicted and his mother tried to take care of him but she stayed strung out so much that even his crying could not penetrate to the motherly instict. Social services came and took him from her becasue of neglect and he was less than a month old. They placed him with his grandmother and she was not much better, leaving him in his diaper for hours and not feeding him like she should so they came and took him from her.

Then God, yes, our God had him placed with a Christian man and woman that took him to church and taught him how to play the quitar and sing and he was saved at age 7. The person that told me his story was the pastor of the church that he goes to. I saw him tonight and he is so filled with the spirit of God and he loves everyone with such an humble heart.

This story could have been so different and a lot of times the story does not have a happy ending. I think -I feel that this child is destined to be a mighty worker for God. His name is Eddie, please keep him in your prayers.

Today I did not eat over my cap of 1500 calories and I did 70 minutes of arobics, I love doing Leslie Sansonne. I always feel very energised when I start moving. I have done it so often that I add 2 pound arm weights and keep my arms moving at all times.

Tomorrow my 3 yr. old grandson comes to play with me. I always enjoy his visit. I think I will get to take him to church with me tomorrow night.

Dh wants to go back to hear the evangelist tomorrow night. It is not our home church. I wonder how it will look if we go to a different church instead of our home cchurch. So what do you all think?

Sleep well everyonetalk to you later
