His timing is perfect

  God, He knows just what we need and when we need it. I wasn't even supposed to be home tonight, but I was. Isn't His timing so perfect? Thank you so much for this blessing. My struggles are financial, but also so emotional as I am back and forth with confrontations and communications and hard hard decisions. This, your gift, is peace of mind. The sweet woman that prayed with me, was more peace of mind. Thank you for praying for my children, that get caught up in the midst of the mess so often... I'm overwhelmed and thankful. Thank you for being stewards of God's provision in your life, and allowing him to use each of you to bless me. This necklace, "hope", is something I've felt like I've lost lately. I've lost hope in the system, hope in the courts, but it reminds me that I never need to lose hope in Him! <3 Much love this holiday.

A Christmas miracle!

It was a Christmas miracle to me the way these "earth angels" came bearing gifts, love and prayers! How can I ever give enough thanks to the Lord for the blessingsof this surprise visit? His timing is perfect. We had a very hard week with an ongoing family crisis and my medical problems. I had asked God to just "throw me a crumb' to let me know He heard our prayers. Then Hope and Joy came to the door with love, smiles, and gifts and prayed with me. God gave me more than crumbs...He gave me the whole loaf! My tears flowed with thankfulness. I will cherish that moment forever. So, if they are reading this, thank you! May God bless you the way you have blessed my family! Judy

A tree with a 12 Ordinary Women ornament!!!

My kiddos and I came home today to find a beautiful, little, light up christmas tree with gift cards all over it, sitting on our front porch. Not expecting anything from anyone I quickly looked all around to see if there was a note left or something to tell me who it was from. I saw the little ornament with 12ordinarywomen.com on it and knew it was special. Thank you so much, whoever you are, for thinking of me and the kids. This generous gift came at the right time for me and I appreciate the efforts and the thoughts that went into making things easier for us. It is heartwarming to know that we have, in some way or another, touched someone enough for them to do something so thoughtful.
We are truly grateful. Merry Christmas!!

Hi my name is Ana...

Hi my name is Ana, and I want to give you a huge thanks for the help and support that you have given me. I hope God keeps blessing you so you can keep helping us and all the families that are also in need of help and support. The money that you provided for me was very helpful, I was able to buy shoes and clothes for my children and that helped them for school. Also the bread that you gave me was really really good both my husband and I enjoyed it, thank you very much. We ask for your prayers, and thanks to the Lord my husband has been better but he is still in the hospital and we don't know when he will get out. It was an honor for me meeting such nice people like you, you really touched my heart and I feel like you are angels sent from God. Merry christmas to y'all and your families. Again thank you so much and God bless you!


Plymouth, MN thank you.

I can’t tell you what a blessing and surprise it was for our family to receive the gift baskets this week. When my 22 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last January it was as if our world fell apart. She has been undergoing chemo for the past 11 months and it has taken a toll on her both physically and emotionally. Words can’t express how wonderful it was to see her go through the basket to open each special gift; it brought tears of joy. It came at the perfect time because later that evening she came down with a fever and ended up in the hospital. She will be in for several days and some of the items in the basket were perfect for taking to the hospital to help brighten her day. My son was so excited to be included as well. The individual notes of encouragement have been so helpful in providing me with strength and support knowing that there are 12 wonderful women out there that are praying for us during a difficult time. It makes you feel less alone and helpless. There is strength in God, His word and His wonderful angels that were part of this basket. You are a life line. Even though my daughter has another 18 months of chemo, we are encouraged that she is in remission and are hopeful that she will beat the cancer and fully recover. God bless you all for your thoughtfulness in providing joy and hope…you are making a difference!

Oh my goodness!!!

My dear, dear son, Matt, died on July 8, and I have been a heartbroken mess ever since, going through the motions of life, but not doing it very well. Today, my daughter and I attempted Christmas shopping, but I do think that when we are together, it makes us even more sad. I got home and saw something by my front door. So I opened the trunk of my car to retrieve my packages and walked over to see what was there, by my door. I found a lovely spruce holiday planter, and a large basket filled with things. I brought the basket inside and went back out. A car pulled in my driveway and a lady got out and came up to me. She asked if I found the basket, and I said, yes. I thanked her over and over and said--"I don't even know who you are". She said "I know. We just wanted to brighten your day." We hugged and hugged, and I cried. Then she left. I want you to know that this meant so very much to me. And I want to get involved to help another sad lady, and another, and another. God Bless you all.
