The"Raker" in Raker City... It is sweet that you have your kids. IF YOU COUNTED your blessings, you have a family. While I who helped my family so heavily can't get them to come and cook for me. As i READ YOUR LETTER, I remembered the best games I ever played were NOT board games that is only in the USA in other countries children use their imagination. Imagination helps them get smarter. I remember this teacher, who asked every one of her students to make up a story in their mind and come up to the class to illustrate it, act it out, and then answer any questions. I was the only one in a space ship with a 3-D beam of light that signaled each direction and buttom. So we see that now in the movies. I can't tell you how the rest of the class looked at me, but I was happy. You can play sherades, call the word, call the phrase, dress like someone famous and try to guess who it is. I would encourage you to get involve, but do not let them spend hours watching TV that limits their cognitive development and makes them DUMB. The children don't need board games they NEED you. Set up a Lemonade stand and sit with them DO NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE even if you're phone rings, SELL cookies with the lemonade. Good Luck, I feel weak, and like you even though God has blessed me greatly, sometimes I feel he has forgotten me. That is impossible I know, but the trials we have to pass through determine if we will sink to sin or rise to praise our Lord, and saviour.
The"Raker" How I wish I could help you. You're story reminds me of a friend who swore up and down How much she loved me> I told her please do not say that again, but she would repeat it over and over. Please bare in mind I am not into women. I am very much a Woman, not a lesbian. So her comments her aggravating to me. She once told me that their was a REAL need for claims adjusters. So I spent my last dollars, when I asked her to give me her friends name - SHE WOULDN't - PEOPLE are just out to get what they want and they will say anything. TRUE, i HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE MILL, i HAVE BEEN SO FAMOUS i SAW HOW CRUEL PEOPLE CAN BE. i TELL YOU, COUNT THEIR ACTIONS AND DO NOT HEAR VAIN WORDS. THE WIND TAKES THEIR FUTILE WORDS BUT ACTIONS WILL STAY IN UR MIND 4EVER. You are very young, you have a life ahead of you. No matter what bitterness you passed, it is up to you to leave it behind. Avoid people that have done you wrong, even if it is your own mother or father! Clean the slate, do not lift a finger to hurt anyone, pray to God and he will open doors for you. I am worst off than you, I barely can walk. I feel so weak, my knees almost touch the ground. All the people I knew when I had money and helped all those(whom I knew would do me wrong and still helped them) are NOW my worst enemies. Oh that friend that swore she loved me so much, all her other friends throughout the years told me all the bad things she was talking about me. She was also calling me continously over and over again 100 times each day! But it is better to know them and not say anything and DO YOUR thing no matter WHAT. Not my so called friend, not my family not anybody told me what to do. I TOLD THEM AFTER THE FACT, THAT IS if I chose to, on a need to know basis. Good Luck. Pray, Pray, Pray
What you can do is ask your employees if they want to keep their jobs they have to help you with the light bill. I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR YOU AND YOU WILL MAKE IT BIG. Everybody is going through hard times. I have seen people make it big REAL BIG, manufacturers of FOOD PACKAGED sold to grocery stores they started from their kitchen. OFFER CATERING, for one person, two persons or four persons. Try to serve as much food as you can. GO TO THE FOOD BANKS IF YOU HAVE TO, to SAVE on food expense. Get containers aluminum are the best. Get the customers to pick up NO DELIVERY. I wish I could give you the money. But my water is going to be cut off. I have nothing to SELL, I worked by negotiating contracts and selling and renting properties, helping people not loose their homes. I would sell their homes higher than anybody and fast. But now, all people want to do is to steal the other's home, I AM not into that, so I am also practically an invalid, I had a rear car hit me that left me unable to walk or even cook. DO NOT GIVE UP you have the answer in your hands. PLACE BIG SIGNS WITH RED LETTERS CATERING OFFERED, FAT FREE GOURMET FOOD. Mark my words, when I am inspired I see the future., you will make it and remember me when you do. Say your prayer, GOD loves it when you ask him to help you.
