Trying and giving
My first days were easy - I've had things I'd meant to give away lying around, and finally got them to the right people and places! What a help making me clean things up around here! Now I'm really trying to thing what to do. I've been blessed by so many friends and supporters, I'm trying to say THANK YOU to them, and bless them like they have blessed me. I'm also trying to bless people I don't want to bless. That is the really hard part. I mean, I REALLY don't want to bless them, but I know I should. Sometimes I believe they won't consider what I do or say as blessings. So, should I go ahead with my plans to "BLESS" them, and give them what I believe they need, or not? Some people take things the wrong way, no matter what. I'll pray, and really try. I guess that's all I can do. THANKS Eri, and 29Gifts!!!!
