 After all the recent tragedies that have happened and are happening, this world needs as much kindness as it can get. I'm participating in the 'Pay it Forward' initiative: the first five people who comment on this status with "I'm in" will receive a surprise from me at some point in the next calendar year - anything from a book, a ticket, something homemade, a postcard, absolutely any surprise! There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that would suit you and make you happy.
These five people must make the same offer on their Facebook status. Once my first five have commented "I'm in" I will forward this message to you privately, so that you can copy and paste it, and put it on your status, (don't share it) so that we can form a web of connection of kindness.
Let's do more nice and loving things in 2015, without any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, friendly, and love filled year.   (THANKS JENNA, FOR GETTING ME STARTED ON THIS ONE, I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE A WONDERFUL MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, SISTER AND "FRIEND TO SO MANY" AND A WONDERFUL ALL AROUND, LOVING AND GIVING PERSON!)

 As most of you that are local know.. A 15 year old young lady, had been bullied for years at school (and other places I suppose) Well, she had took all she felt like she could stand, and ended her life on Thursday.. Another precious life gone!
How horribly sad, and now much  to late to do anything about. I am sure she left her family and friends with a lot of questions and grief. God bless and comfort each of them please and thank You.. And I pray that He will give everyone, no matter the age the courage, and knowledge to stand up and HELP PUT A STOP TO BULLYING.. And age seems to have nothing to do with it. People of all ages get bullied, "treated less than right and respectful" PLEASE PEOPLE, BEFORE IT'S TO LATE FOR YET ANOTHER PERSON.... And please people, if you know of someone that you even think isn't being treated fairly, speak up.. just speak up!!! And then let that person know that you are there, others are too IF they need help or want to talk... 

AND IF YOU FEEL LESS THAN TREATED PROPERLY, PLEASE, ALONG WITH PRAYER... REACH OUT TO SOMEONE.. ANYONE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.. ASK FOR HELP OR EVEN FRIENDSHIP.. DON'T GIVE UP! LIFE IS JUST TO SHORT TO LIVE WITH THE FEELING OF BEING ABUSED OR MISTREATED, BUT SO WELL WORTH LIVING, IT'S MORE THAN WORTH ASKING FOR HELP.. ASK UNTIL YOU REACH THE RIGHT PERSON AND IT STOPS!

Today and daily, I pray for you and yours that God will bless each of you spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and with His unconditional love, forgiveness, guidance, mercies, grace and a special blessing that only HE knows that you need (so you will KNOW that it's all from HIM). I pray for everyone of every age that is being bullied or treated with less than respect! (and ask that you will also pray for this) I pray for all the "unspoken request" of each of you and yours.. God knows each and every one of them and has the ability to take care of everyone and so much more.. Nothing is to BIG or to small for our God.. He is the creator of everything.. so in comparison....
I pray for the sad state of our country.. we all need to get back to God and back into His guidance and blessings.. I pray for all of those that are grieving, God bless and comfort please and thank You. Please Lord, help everyone that has any and all types of illnesses.. wrap Your loving arms around each and give them comfort and heal them in Your own ways. Please be with the soldiers and keep them safe and return the quickly and safely home, to loving families, respect and jobs. AND ALWAYS LORD, WE GIVE YOU OUR LOVE, THANKS, HONOR, PRAISE AND GLORY IN JESUS HOLY NAME, AMEN.
