not the usual "thank you"...

I'm sitting here this evening thinking about those folks out there..you know those that rarely get a shout out...
I had a special visit from a wonderful person tonight.. and am reflecting upon the great generosity of this person and their actions that did not gain them anything..I think about all those folks out here in this world that we all choose to be apart of and I think of how thankful I am to know you....

Many members here on the board have no idea about who these folks are in their personal lives and how much they really think about other people... Without any self gratification.

For example..the generosity today that I am blessed to witness went to a single lady of 4 children..she works and does what she can do..however with just a bit more help enabled her to comfortably tuck all her children into clean dry,warm beds...thank you for donating this beautiful bed to her and you did not even meet her...you are truely filled with that great spirit in which we are accused of not knowing..nor feeling....being in this hobby and all that goes with this hobby..

It fills me with great admiration in knowing you. I haven't known you very long but seeing how you care about a family in need and you donated the child's bed knowing it would go to where it needed to go without hesitation.. you were there..you will always be close to my heart.

And in the past I have seen many a person step up and help out those children that are in need. One instance touched our world dramatically!

You are people of great integrity..and I am proud to have been helped and to be an ambassador for those that just cannot ask for help but need need it...
they are as me.. proud...and cannot put themselves out there in the public assistance programs as not to be a drain..but muddle through daily...regardless what they bring in....

I have seen so much love pour from the folks in this hobby....and not alot of you can stand up and be recognized for these acts of kindness from the heart..
I just wanted to say thank you...I wish I could say more...or do more for you...so please take a moment and understand this....

Your kindheartedness and total unselfishness went truely to someone that needed it...from food..toys..clothing.. to a bed....thank you. And thank you for being true to
you and staying true to your virtue.
Sometimes folks get lost in this world and lose themselves..you are a testament to which I believe... in that " The Spirit lives within us" ...
Thank you for reinforcing that belief within me....

You do not have to respond to this post..or respond if you like...
just understand there is more to you than you thought....

much love to you..nita...
