Today, I received an act of kindness, love and support from complete strangers, calling themselves 12 ”Ordinary” Women in Dallas. To these women, I say Thank You for reminding me that all things are possible through God. Your gift of hope and encouragement did indeed bring sunshine into my life; and at a time when I needed it most. I want you to know that my sister, Dana, is like you – she is selfless, tirelessly works helping others and loves our Lord as evidenced by her life of service. Watching her struggle with illness has often times made me question God’s will. Each and every time that I have questioned, God has placed extraordinary people in my path to remind me of his love and to keep me ever focused on eternity. Although, I do not know you, I love you; and I will remember this day when 12 “Extraordinary” Women touched my life forever.
You are in my prayers,
Lisa
I don't know how you know me but thank you
I do not know how or why you got my name or where I work but what a gifting of warmth you brought to me. The last few years have been dark and scary for someone who is usually the "strong one" and the last few months have felt like I was in a cave. I feel like I am just starting my path back into the light building strength and the flowers received have bewildered me and excited me.
Thank you, whoever you are. Mary
A mail box gift
I can't express the gratitude I feel for the gift envelope I received from you in my mail box this week. My mother passed away a few weeks ago suddenly (though not surprisingly). As life settles into a routine again, it can be difficult to see things go on as usual while it feels anything but inside. To have my grief acknowledged with a lovely note and some very thoughtful gifts is beyond meaningful. I can't really find the words. Thank you so much.
Thank you to 12 women in Franklin TN
Dear !2 Ordinary Women, Initially I wrote a quick note of thanks, but as my emotions have overwhelmed me increasingly today, I think I need to write an amendment. First of all, when the women came to my door I was perplexed, and at first thought they were someone else. I regret not inviting them in, not realizing that the that they were here to truly bless me. The necklace couldn't be more perfect. It is beautiful, and the symbolism of a tree is significant in my life, and my relationship with God. I felt seen by God as though He chose it specifically for me. And the money was as though someone poured sweet honey on my soul. I feel so unworthy of your generosity, but I thank you. It made me feel very loved and appreciated. Sometimes I feel like no one sees me. I know I'm not the center of it all, but just knowing that someone cared enough to bless my socks off, overwhelms me! I could go on and on, but I think you understand what I am saying. So with all my heart, thank you for demonstrating God's love to me. I feel very grateful and full. And I pray God blesses you too. Sincerely, Carol
Thank the ladies from the Brentwood, TN
I just want to thank the ladies from the Brentwood, TN area who blessed me with a monetary gift before Christmas. It was such a sweet surprise. This allowed me to purchase my daughter's bridesmaid dress for her brother's wedding and left me enough to buy my dress for his special day.
Thank you for ALL you do to bless others!

Wow… I am overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and generosity. You have restored my faith in humanity and renewed my spirit with gratitude and hope. My hope is to someday pay it forward and have the opportunity to do the same for someone else. Thanks again and God bless… Trish
Heartfelt thank you
Dear Ordinary women, I want to send a HEARTFELT thank you for the lovely book, “Jesus Calling” and the monetary gift to help us through this journey! We are so very grateful for the wonderful people like you that God has put in our lives from the very beginning of this journey! Steven and I have been held up and carried along through the prayer and gifts of wonderful, wonderful people such as you all! We sometimes find it hard to even mutter a thank you, as that often times does not seem sufficient! We are so blessed to have you join us on this trip, and even though the road appears long and steep, we have been helped along the way each and every time we have needed it. From neighbors, friends, family, friends of family, church members, community and now you! How great to share the love each of you carries in your hearts! Thank you so much, and God bless each and every one of you! May we find a way to give back the way you have given of your hearts! With love and gratitude, Jenni
A Thanksgiving Thank You.
My Wife and I were surprised by a woman at our doorstep right before Thanksgiving who presented me with an envelope. Inside that envelope was a gift the woman said. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate that someone thought of us during this time. My wife has Stage IV Metestatic Breast Cancer and my oldest daughter has Cystic Fibrosis, and though we feel undeserving, that gift just made our Holidays a little bit brighter. Thank you so very much, and I pray that God will bless each and every one of you for giving to others the way you do!
God Bless,
Craig & Amy
