Many years ago, I was a teenager, my Mother passed away, Dad remarried a few weeks later, one day I came home from school, and all that was left was my bedroom furniture, and Mammas bible reading book she gave me when I was ten for my birthday. That was all I had left in the world, I called older sibling was turned down to live with them all that I could find, I got down on my knees and prayed to Jesus, AND told him that if he helped me I would stand up for him later in life, my boyfriend (now husband) took me to friend's house and told her what happened, and she ran upstairs and told her Dad, I will never forget the kindness of her Dad and family, they took me in and gave me a home till I graduated high school. I have always had Jesus with me in my heart, and I will stand up for HIM all the time, HE has been with me through some pretty tough times, never has let me down. My heart is my Cathedral, and I pray to HIM all the time. When Hurricaine Katrina hit, GOD placed it upon my heart to help, I was running a food pantry in Troy Ohio, out of that little food pantry, we were able to send 4 semi trucks to the people in need, filled with food, water, bedding, and personal needs, we also collected turkey, dressing all the fixins from local restaurants and sent Thanksgiving to the people there. What a tremendous blessing that was to be a part. I do and say whatever God places upon my heart to this day, and I will SHARE JESUS with everyone I come in contact. Which is what we all should do. I did however, look up my Dad and forgave him for deserting me to heal my broken heart. I wrote a song that tells a story of my life, called "Little Rag doll" I will share it with you now.
Little Rag Doll
When I was living at my friends house
My family had abandoned me
I saw a rag doll in a corner a ragdoll a lot like me
A little rag doll tossed in a corner
Forgotten and falling apart
A little rag doll tossed in a corner
Held the tears from my heart
For you see my heart had been broken
I locked all my tears inside
And when I saw, that little rag doll I fell to my knees and I cried..
We all are worth something, God made a plan for us all, even a Rag Doll unwanted, can still cause teardrops to fall.
