Woke up around 5:30ish. Packed the buggy and walked down to Wal-Mart where I got my Ibuprofen prescription refilled for my leg, bought some groceries for a couple of days, then headed back to the motel to put them away.
I met a gentleman in the hallway who asked about my walk and made a donation to help me on my journey! He shared several stories with me of people he has known who had battled with suicide and depression. God bless you sir for sharing and God bless you for the donation. It is because of people like you I can continue my walk. It is such a blessing to be able to talk with other people and share stories and be open about it.
Some time after noon Judi came by from The Health Hut and picked me up. I volunteered to help her with anything she needed done since they were so kind to me. Tomorrow I also volunteered to help out in setting up for the Health Expo on Thursday.
http://www.thehealthhut.org Click on the link so you can read about there mission. They also provide counseling for Mental Health two days a week. They survive off of grants and donations helping the uninsured with their medical needs. It is a blessings to, and a much needed part of the Ruston community. If anyone feels it in their heart to make a donation, which I hope you will, click on the link and do so. They have been very kind and helpful to me and have invited me to their Health Expo on Thursday. I will have a table and be able to meet and greet those who attend the event. I am so looking forward to it. Remember now, they offer counseling for Mental Health twice a week and that is what my walk is about. So if you can, please donate. Thank you and God bless! Mike
Hello it's me again Margaret! Yay for you and yay for Ruston Judy and Judi for being the serving people that they are. Surely God sent you to them, and them to you to help each other out! What a great God we have, and what wonderful plans he has for all of you. Bless you all!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time Mike, it is so inspiring to hear of all the generous and kind people you meet each day, and how many are sharing their stories too, it is humbling to realize how many out there besides us have also dealt with many of the same issues and heartache and how they are willing to share this with you. I am sure this is doing your heart good and you are in my prayers as always, have a great time at the fair!! Hope you meet a huge amount of wonderful souls while you are there. Sounds as if you are well on your way already.
