I felt so all alone...Thank you from Minnetonka

At a time in my life where I have felt so alone, where I wasn't sure I was going to be able to muster the strength to get through the holiday season, two beautiful women just came to my door and gave me a beautiful package that has literally brought me to tears. It is so hard to express how this makes me feel and fills my heart with such love and hope. I don't feel so alone. Thank you so much. AC

We will have ham this Christmas!

I want to express how thankful I am to have received a gift of money from the 12 ordinarywomen. It was the first time I had heard of them. It was such a surprise and it was an extraordinary gift. The coming of Christmas had been hard to face because of the desire to give gifts and wanting to have a ham for when our daughter and her husband come for a few days. GOD has been so good to us after my husband lost his job unexpectantly about 17 months ago. It has been a time of adjustment in several areas but also a time of growing in faith and seeing God working in so many unexpected way. This gift has made some gifts possible and we will be having ham for Christmas dinner. Thanks for making things not so strained and for the special gift given from a wonderful organization. DR

Thank you and bless you!

There simply are not words to describe how thankful I am for the love, encouragement and support you've poured out onto my family. God calls us to be the hands and feet of Christ, and I thank you for living this out on a daily basis. Gods timing is also incredibly- just as we were feeling overwhelmed with finances, especially with the Holidays coming up, here we are blessed financially and can go into the Holidays with more joy. Again, thank you. Praying a blessing over you all as you bless so many!

Thank you for the care package

I wanted to thank you all so very much for the "care package" with the gift card for manicure, book, and journal filled with scripture. I cannot tell you how much this means to me. It brought me to tears (literally) when I opened it, and it came at a time when I really needed some encouragement. It is overwhelming to see the hands of feet of Jesus in action as I walk the difficult journey I am facing. The body of Christ has helped me continue on, and this gesture was so very generous and thoughtful. I have no idea who to thank specifically, but you all are a blessing. A blessing to people like me who are in a very difficult life circumstance. Thank you for what you do.

Love,

Carolyn

Thank you from Woodbury, Mn

It was a typical Saturday afternoon. I worked 15 hours the day before so I had just gotten up from a nap and went out to get my mail. In my mailbox was a small package with no return address. I was a little confused because I had not ordered anything lately. My hours at work had been changed about two months ago so with the job change I took about an $800 monthly pay cut (the job change had not been my choice). To say the least making rent and paying the bills was not going very well. I had been late with my rent for the last two months. When I opened the box there was a small book of daily devotions, two gift cards, and a towel that was embroidered with the saying “I said a prayer for you today”. I am always busy making things by hand-rughooking, weaving, tapestry, knitting so my receiving this hand made towel is truly special. I know that someone took the time to embroider on the towel and to me that is very special. I have felt truly alone going through all of this with work. It warms my heart knowing that “12 Ordinary Women” that I don't even know took the time to put this little gift box together for me. It makes me feel a little less alone and it gives me hope that people still care about one another in our world today. I feel so blessed to have received this gift. Thank you so much…. ~Carol

Davidson NC thank you.

I wanted to thank you for the monetary gift last evening. After many years of a mentally abusive marriage, I found the courage to get out of the situation. The fear of the unknown is almost overwhelming – like standing on the edge of a skyscraper and jumping, weak knees and a trembling heart. But doing nothing was only increasing the pain – so I jumped. I am grateful to all of you for providing a safety net, words of thanks almost seem silly. But I hope to be in a position soon to return the favor. Each day brings strength to keep going.

With appreciation,

Michele

Orlando/Windermere thank you.

Dear Faith & Hope, What a total surprise you were a few minutes ago, showing up on my doorstep. My heart is singing and is so filled with hope, faith & joy. My day started off watching the sun rise, which I have never done while living in this home. It began praising and worshipping our Lord who amazes me over and over again. God must have been speaking to me as soon as I opened the door, because I never even thought you could be intruders. I immediately felt peace & comfort with you two. As you know I just can't stop wondering who told you our story…was it a friend, an acquaintance, someone that worked with my husband? Well, it really doesn't matter, it was God. I would like to thank you both and the other 10 women as well, and if one of the 12 isn't who told you my story--PLEASE pass on my heartfelt gratitude to the person(s) who shared my story with you. What a wonderful story I have to share with everyone. Not to mention I want to be involved with your organization!!! I am going to pray about this and see if God may lead me here. Thank you for the more than kind & generous gift. Mostly though I would like to thank you for the prayer today and for the prayers of all 12 of you on my families behalf the last couple of months. Please continue to pray for us when we cross your mind. It is more than appreciated! Thank you again & again & again. God is so good! I will get through this with His guidance. Much love to all 12 of you mystery women. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
