Yesterday as I watched my beloved Vikings play and was making soup for our chilly fall weather, I had an unexpected visitor with a more than generous gift. I am still in shock and extremely curious to who would have put my name in as a gift recipient. I am very grateful, as well as humbled as I feel there are so many others that would be more deserving and needy. I am also VERY thankful! Thank you for warming my heart! Sue

Just this morning I was fighting the lie that God had abandoned me. Feeling like every prayer I have prayed had fallen on deaf and uncaring ears. Then as I was resting this afternoon the doorbell rang and two women I have never met brought me a gift of hope. I am in shock at this moment and it is from this gift that I know that though my prayers seem to be fading into the wind, they are heard and that God is using His body to minister to me and my family at this difficult time in our lives as my husband fights a sudden and severe chronic illness and we have to sell our home to bring some sense of security for children and their future. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for being sensitive to His Spirit and bringing hope to those hanging by a thread.

Words will never begin to describe how touched I am for this beautiful group of people. I basket just showed up at our door and it was full of gift cards, a book, a necklace, socks and an adorable scarf that I plan to wear today. I am in tears for how grateful my family is to people like (all of) you involved.
My husband lost his job on May 1st so to say we’ve leaned on God, family and friends would be an understatement. Now, My husband Mike a s my two children want to say thank you so much. We are headed to the corn maze tomorrow, thanks to you. God bless each and everyone of you.

This week when I received the check & I was overwhelmed with gratitude. The timing couldn't have been better and more than anything the consideration meant the world to me. It demonstrated God's abundance and the importance of giving.
I appreciate you.
Thank you.
We are here for a reason...
I was at work and one of my co-workers told me someone wanted to talk to me. As I came through the doors from the back room there were two women who look familiar only because I've seen them shopping there before. They handed me the cutest little Halloween bag and told me that basically they were put into my life for a reason... Kind of like an angel. I'm crying now because I'm on my break but it took everything I had to hold it in because so many people were around me! I just can't believe that you came into my life at such a crucial time. My juvenile son is in jail right now for violation of probation. He turned 17 just three short days ago. He was tried as an adult at age 15. I miss my baby boy more than anything in this world! I mean he is 6 foot 5 but he's my baby. Some days I just don't even know if I'm going to make it through the day. I have terrible thoughts go through my head. I desperately need somebody to talk to and help me to get my life on track so that when he comes home I am in a good place. Thank you so much for coming into my life.

Fighting cancer for a 2nd time!
I am fighting cancer - the 2nd round. I came home and discovered an amazing spa basket - complete with wine, diffusor, a beautiful blanket, essential oils, tea mug, and a gift card to my favorite massage place. It was an amazing gift, filled with love and support. Thank you.

Thank you for your CARE basket.
I just received a care basket at my door and I wanted to say thank you so much. It was God's perfect timing. A song came on that reminded me of my brother that just recently passed away and I was crying. I was walking by the door when I saw someone pull up. I looked awful from crying and I didn't recognize the person. We get a lot of sales people in our neighborhood so I kept going. When I realized there was a package I brought it in and just lost it. God's timing is perfect. The mug had 2 Corinthians 5:7 on it. I will walk by faith even when I cannot see is a perfect bible verse for what is happening in my life. Your gift was so thoughtful and it was nice to have a kiss from Jesus today through your wonderful foundation. Thank you for the gift. Love, Melissa
Looking for a post from May to July?
I just discovered that all the posts from May -July for 12 Ordinary Women were posted on 12 Average Joe’s blog by mistake. 😕
I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. I’m not sure I will be able to figure out how to move them back over but I’ll try. Meanwhile, I will post the new blog posts later today?
Clearly this Ordinary Woman isn’t a webmaster.
9/14 A mother’s thank you
Thank you for the wonderful gift and the gift of hope in a time of uncertainty in my life. I was completely shocked and surprised when two wonderful ladies showed up at my house. My daughter is battling her second round of cancer, and at the time we received the gift we were at a point of uncertainty in her treatment plan. This gift was able to help with me taking my daughter to a specialist in Ohio, which we received wonderful news that her cancer was gone and treatment was no longer needed. What a amazing group and is definitely a way of life we all should be following. It not only gave me hope in my daughters treatment, but it also gave me hope in how wonderful people in this world can be. We will be forever grateful to 12 Ordinary Women!!!!
