LousPeachy 100 Posted May 11, 2015 At first I thought this was off topic but then decided that it was not. This has to do with NEVER GIVING UP, HOPE, FAITH and ENCOURAGMENT. Around Thanksgiving of last year, after seeing how much work our house needed, we thought we would never be able to afford to get it done. Then came the MIRACLE! To keep it brief, a dear friend won a large sum of money playing the lottery. He paid for a huge remodeling job, bathroom (I have a gorgeous porcelain walk in shower, bathroom remodeled from top to bottom! Our bedroom has new flooring and a new paint job. The kitchen was another top to bottom remodel including new cupboards. The living room has new flooring and paint job. We have new doors, the leaky windows don't leak anymore. We have new appliances, dishes and lots more. This has taught me a valuable lesson...God can work through the most impossible problems and difficult situations. He can help us ALL to become healthier through WLS. More often than not, He expects us to do our part. But He can also use something totally off the wall like the lottery to make life so much better for two Senior citizens who don't even buy lottery tickets. KEEP GOING ON GOING ON! WLS may be easy or hard but it CAN CHANGE OUR LIVES FOR THE BETTER! REMEMBER, NEVER GIVE UP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
