TGO Community Support--Awesome

[hipower]

Not going to single out a particular person or event here in this posting. But I am continually amazed at the TGO membership.

The outpouring of sympathy, prayers and offers of aid in times of sorrow and need is sometimes beyond my abilities to fathom.

In the times of "me" and all the attempts to secularize the world and all its people; I can come here and see and be reminded that we are not alone.

I have seen evidence here of the values that the world at large seems lacking in.

I have seen people offer time and money to others repeatedly, with no expectation of recompense. Just being able to help those who need some type of assistance.

Any request is almost instantly responded to and generally fulfilled; be it life threatening circumstances, a request for aid in a project, or for prayers and support in a time of crisis.

We have each other in all times and circumstances.

This truly is a welcoming and caring community of brothers and sisters.


When I first became involved here...I really could have used some of the support I so freely given here. But I was reluctant to involve strangers in my troubles...so I just went along without commenting.

My mistake and loss. Some of the friends I've since made here would have been of great comfort then. Just having a voice not so closely involved would have been great. But I didn't.

But I'm here, I came thru it all. lol I guess that's evident. Thru the prayers and support of my wife and my mother and family, co-workers, doctors and care givers, and of course, the Power of Our Lord; I survived.

I really didn't expect to do so. I am still amazed at it. I still wonder why. Daily.

Maybe to give my pitiful tale in offering to give someone else hope. Maybe I'll help a person and influence their life a good and constructive way.

In any event, the additional support I could have gotten here would have been more than welcome.

I guess what I'm trying to say is a great big "Thank You" to all here for the generosity of spirit that I see exhibited on an almost daily basis is nothing short of amazing.

God Bless to all, and a Merry Christmas! Edited December 7, 2014 by hipower

It is nice this day and age to deal with the good side of humanity. To keep positive I tell myself there are still a lot of good people out there. they're just not in politics :)
But I see them every time I come here. Cheers TGO family!

hipower,

 

Thank you for encouraging words, and great advice. Gratitude, grace, and empathy abound in you.  A great reminder and example set before us in a season where many are confronted with sorrow and hardship, grief, and loss.  Your thoughts  and wisdom help balance perspective on all sides.

Those are some wonderful heartfelt words, and very much applicable. This is a unique place unlike most other boards I've seen.
