I think he sang it at a lot of places. Amy saw him at a Tea Party, maybe the one in Washington....isn’t he wonderful?
Soon after her family left for the evening, Carol started to think that her hospital room must be the loneliest place in the world. Nighttime had fallen, her fears about her illness were back, and she felt overwhelming despair as she lay there alone.
Closing her eyes, she began to talk to God: “O Lord, I know I am not really alone. You are here with me. Please calm my heart and give me peace. Let me feel Your arms around me, holding me.”
As she prayed, Carol felt her fears beginning to subside. And when she opened her eyes, she looked up to see the warm, sparkling eyes of her friend Marge, who reached out to encircle her in a big hug. Carol felt as if God Himself were holding her tightly.
God often uses fellow believers to show us His love. “We, being many, are one body in Christ. . . . Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Rom. 12:5-6). We serve others “with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11).
When we show love and compassion in simple, practical ways, we are a part of God’s ministry to His people.
Yes, he is.
Well..It sure lifted me up! I was so distressed and it really warmed my heart, dear(((Kitty))) In the midst of great sorrow...loving hearts can do that....and I am so grateful.

You are so precious to take the time to send me roses!! I feel blessed to call you my friend!

Thank you dear AMY!
Another lovely greeting card I missed!!!
I feel so terrible that you all care so much and sometimes in my haste I miss these great acts of love!
Amy’s Place has become a “Living Room of Love” to me over the past several years!!! Indeed , if I miss even a day, I miss knowing I am cared for and loved. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
I must confess I am suffering terribly this morning. I just found out that my oldest daughter is placing our autistic granddaughter, who turns 18 tomorrow, in a group home. I am broken hearted. I know God has a plan,and I am resting in that.
