This email came through our general email box this morning. It came from Lucy, a recipient of M25 food & personal care items. Her email speaks volumes and impacted me greatly and I want to make sure I share her gratefulness with as many of you who served, as possible.
"I wanted to thank all of you, for all the kindness, generosity, and hugs and on and on I could go. I was in the line on Saturday, when you were handing out boxes of hope. Sometimes I tend to take for granted how wonderfully blessed we are, and how God uses people like those at New Horizon to share their love with others. It has been a tougher time then usual this past year, but through it all, it has brought us closer to him, who daily shares wonderful little miracles to let us know we are not alone, and these miracles always give me goosebumps, as I see how he will provide simple, seemingly unimportant things, down to the last detail to let me know he is still right there with me.
Saturday, when I got home, my daughter and I went through the boxes, and we were ooing and aaing, about wow, we needed the peanut butter, and we were all out of spaghetti sauce, and as if that were not enough. I left the small box on my bed for a while, and when I opened it, I was just in awe, as I had been looking at these slipon shoes, as I cannot bend because of back issues. The kind that are like plastic and won't get wet and muddy. However, money was not there to buy shoes. When I opened that small box there was a pair, my size, brown (the same color as mud, so I won't look a mess, I can wipe them off) sitting on the top of the box. How awesome is that, how awesome is our God! Who has used you all in a mighty way.
I cannot say thank you appropriately for the time you shared generously, for the love you gave, the patience, the smiles and waves. Saturday will be a special memory for a very long time. WWJD.... exactly what you all did. I even received flowers! with the scripture verse tied to it, be anxious for nothing....... It is on the refrigerator forever!
Truly if I could put into words what you all did yesterday, it would be: making me feel like a Queen for a day, and was blessed to share in a sea of people whose love for God radiated in every face. I was praising his name all the way home. Thank you sooo very much!"
