Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 hi Kim sorry you are having so many health concerns, but VERY glad you were able to remind your church that they had promised to help your 'brother', and that they came through with MAJOR help!! So many churches WANT to help, but nowadays most everyone is so busy just trying to keep themselves going, that many can't follow through. and please don't forget that not all churches have someone assigned to send out cards at holidays etc!! and that if there IS such a person it is apt to be a 'not welll' person who might fail at the task sometimes.... That WAS a lot of cash that folks gave, perhaps out of their own food and emergency monies. You must be in a pretty remarkable church!! I hope you will be able to make them feel really good about what they did so they will want to help the next person. I know they will hope that their sacrifices are most carefully used. ANYway, now that you can spend your energy on yourself, I sure hope you will be feeling much better. I know they say that helping someone else ALWAYS make you feel better, I think sometimes helping others gets you too tired to care for yourself. a most delicate balance, I guess! It's raining hard here today. I waked up wanting to go back UTC (short for Under The Covers), but I have SO much to do. So I have at least made up my list on paper, so as to 'clutter up' my head less. And now I have to 'Choose' to get at least some of my work done, rather than just wallow with agitation and upset, as I'd much prefer to do. Flylady says on her list, in such times, to try doing just 15 minutes at a time. I subscribe to her list as I try to get me taking better care of me. btw, the 'fly' is 'finally loving yourself'. For anyone who wants to try being on the free e-list, it's at http://www.flylady.net/ ANYway, time for me to MOVE!! best to all, Jean HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am peeved I feel so mad today I don't know why, I am sore and my ear hurts I have a collapsed ear cannel again! my back hurts! I cannot hear anything at all out of my right ear it annoys me, they actually itch me but are a sore drainy itch!. Anyway I got angry at the church I left at the beginning of the year because they didn't even acknowledge us at Christmas time even with a card or anything so if they cannot be civil to me I don't need the hassle but they were being sorta being nice to my 'brother' I had been asking them to pray and help him out but it was like I was asking into the wind that wasn't listening cause the church people a lot said they would help move him and get things for him from cloths, towels, bedding, to furniture that he needed but no one showed up or nothing they promised came through. What a surprise! I was disappointed so I called one of them and told him and his wife how I felt but no sarcasm or 'mad' anger came came out just disappointment came out and I told them. That was about 8pm and about 2pm on Sunday 2 adults with 2 teens showed up to clean then 4 others came with a bunch of living room furniture, stereo, TV, then last night he got a double bed, another TV, another stereo, kitchen table, over 300$ worth of food, vouchers, and grocery cards, cloths, bedding. I think with everything he got would be over 3000$ worth of stuff he got, don't get me wrong I am REALLY GLAD HE GOT IT I just hope he appreciates it. He did use some of the money to assist with the donation for the Animal Aid Rescue for who took his dog as they are a foster home who will find a whom for his dog and the organization stated the dog never goes into a shelter setting with them, they get assess then go into an adopted home after their shots and get fixed, and they make sure the dog is healthy. One of the ladies that was there was upset that he gave them a 50$ donation but it is a charitable donation which he can use on his income taxes. I think he is starting to understand how much I have done I am feeling rotten both physically and I am emotionally down right now which doesn't help but I am so glad God was able to use me as a vessel and I wasn't able to get mad or sarcastic even though I wanted to. I AM sorry to vent. I had a friend over but had to get it out today I am feeling really down I see my Dr on Thurs about my ear, and on the 24'th about the new hearing aid's right now I cannot wear them the way my ears are. I just called someone from the church I use to attend and explained to her why I stopped going to it. i think it my have at least to get it out.
