Are You Really Worth It?

The note below I received from a friend and this is not the first time that I have received this via email. It is a good forward. I'm not sure who wrote this, so I'm not able to give credit where credit is due.

If you have seen this before, still take the time to read it. For me repetition is a good thing...it helps me to remember. One point I pray your retain....you are SOOOO WORTH IT!! Worth enough to die for. How awesome is that!?! He felt we were WORTH the price.

Prayerfully and humbly may you will always see yourself as being Worth it!! God has given all of us so many blessings, but one of the most cherished is the relationships that we have with other women in our lives. May your day be blessed and soooo worth it. You are amazing!!

God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED.... to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.... They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in... They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

2nd annual Kidney Walk 2009

What a gorgeous day we had for the 2nd annual Kidney Walk in Delaware!

TEAM WILSON and over 1000 other individuals (some were groups) participated walking approximately 2 miles around the grounds of the beautiful Rockford Park in Wilmington, DE on 10.4.09!!

Jim and I are so thankful for all the donations and especially the prayers for the success of this walk again this year. We were humbled by the response and so thankful for those that were able to walk beside us this year. After the walk we had a time of food and fun back at our home.

Wilmington University purchased special T-shirts for the event for Team Wilson and the Men's Soccer team also did several fund raisers for the event on behalf of Team Wilson as well as participating in the walk. We had several students from the Campus Ministry participate in the walk with as well. We were surrounded by friends and family what a blessing!

I have a follow up board meeting the beginning of November to see exactly what the grand total was for the walk. This walk enables the donations to go directly to individuals who are fighting chronic kidney disease, or renal failure. This opportunity has been in the making for almost 5 years and it is always a wonderful feeling to see how it has grown. The 1st walk (2009) was a very positive success and this year we had another successful event.

Jim and I are personally grateful for the impact of the National Kidney Foundation here in Delaware. We are blessed to have a top-notch Transplant Center only a few miles from our home. God has provided so many gifted professionals and a network for not only us, but all who live in Delaware to have quality care.

Thank you again for your prayers and continued support.

Like a Pumpkin

I received the following from a friend via email. Just a nice thought to share with you at this time of the year~

"Being a good person is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all of the yucky stuff -- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a bright new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it on to a pumpkin of your choice. I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch. "

Have A Blessed Fall!
