Recently there has been a lot of controversy on a video featuring
Tom Cruise speaking on Scientology. I am not a Scientologist, but
in Tom Cruise's video at approximately the 2 minute mark and the
1 minute mark before the end of the video, he makes two statements that,
no matter what your belief system, I feel ring true for all of us at this time:
2 minute : "There is no more time for 'spectator-ism'."
1 minute: "I want to know that I have done everything that I could, everyday."
I feel this is a reminder to all light workers of all paths, that we are here for a reason, and we are needed.
Blessings,
Sherry

Malachi 3:3 says; 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'
Malachi 3:3 says; 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity
about the process of refining Silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: 'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' She asked the silversmith if it
was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?' He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it.' If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them.
And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.
Thought to ponder: Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you want, but you
only get to spend it once...... for this life time. Hugs,

Please pray for Natalie, a little girl who just turned 10 and found out last week that she has kidney cancer that has spread to her lungs. She will have her kidney removed tomorrow, Monday the 14th.
Please also pray for Tara age 6, whose 12 yr old brother Brendan, died last May of leukemia, she now has a recurrence of the neuroblastoma that she was diagnosed with at age two. Tara, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when she was two years old. She went through chemo and two transplants. Last week Tara went for a routine exam of her kidney. They saw something on her liver which led to a CT scan this week. The scan showed three or four tumors. Tara will be admitted to Fairfax Hospital on Monday for a liver biopsy, bone marrow biopsy and bone scan. Pray for her parents and family for their strength and peace during this trying time.
And for healing for Anna, she is 12 years old with cancer..
Also, for healing from cancer that is spreading for Mary Jane and Maureen and for their families. Give them the strength Lord to fight this fight – spiritually, emotionally and physically.
For continued healing for Anne S. and Doug C. from leukemia, and thanksgiving for the healing they have been given.
For healing of Alzheimer’s for Lee’s husband, for Richard, for Aleene, and for Joe.

We did it! Holiday project a success!
Thank you Earth Angels!!
Dear Friends,
We did it!!!! Another successful holiday project of helping
The children and elders of the Standing Rock Reservation in
Cannonball, ND. Thanks to so many generous donations,
And many helping hands, we shipped over 900 lbs from
Angel Hill House in Leesburg.
900 lbs of holiday gifts, warm clothing and other goodies
and necessities. Additionally, many of you did direct
shipping to the church in Cannonball of blankets, hats,
gloves, clothing, toiletries, craft supplies and toys.
All arrived in good shape! Which is amazing considering
That the 30 boxes shipped from Leesburg were on the train
That derailed in Indiana a few days before Christmas.
While our 30 boxes did not arrive until after Christmas,
Everything arrived in good order, and was much
needed and appreciated. Pastor Boots even took some
needed items to 2 nearby small communities to share since
they did not have anyone supporting them for the holidays.
So our holiday spirits and joy, were spread far and wide.
The boxes being on the train that wrecked was actually a
Blessing in disguise as for the first year every single box
Arrived in ND. (Usually 2 or 3 boxes seem to ‘fall off the truck’
Somewhere along the way).
Thank you so much to each and every one of you that
Blessed us with your love and support of this amazing
Project this year. Every gift, every donation, every
Prayer and every helping hand came together to once
again bring blessings into the lives of so many.
Thank you Earth Angels!!
