those who are home bad now yes i do yes and do you go by yourself now i have a very good friend of mine she's an eighty six year old lady and i go with her she's been living in know that this program has glorious production is geared to those who are down depressed and those who have fallen away from god and just to encourage them to get to build their relationship and th this whole focus of this program is about we just want to let people know ed so i'm sure people you visit and their homes have been down day been depressed  also they've been sick yes they have many of them are young and that's another reason we go to them because a lot of them are homebound some of them are in wheelchairs and they can't get out  so we go to them and take encourage me concerning the word of god sometimes just to sit with them and let them talk and tell what's on their mind and on their heart someone to tell it to and they can play a confidant that that's it will stay with us and so i'm sure they appreciate you coming out to come and out to their homes and like you said just to sit with them yes they do and just to listen yes yes a good ears good listening and i think and i think what i don't think but what i believe and do know is that that's a lost art yes it is is just listen and it just listeners so on is just it's just it's just a lost art but when we look at the different and i'm sure those are the people you visit our grandmothers you know great grandmothers great grandmothers and they have lived fulfilled lives and a lot of times we don't know how our life is going to go now we don't and we not sure at the the curves in the towers that we will go on in our lives but we know we're on a journey m r correct it is a journey sometimes it's a long journey but it's a journey nevertheless and you do have a destination that you will arrive have for you i just love that scripture declares the lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and future are thank you and you c break it you know when you look at it ed you can even break it down is placid take care of you not to abandon you and to give you a future and of hope so when you arrive to those homes people who were hopeless now all of a sudden is getting the hope because they didn't fill now that at one point they will fill a low banded because you know they're you know their loved ones have to work that's true but when you show up this is relationship as your bond then and you're listening to those who are hometown yes and those who who you know fill depress and down and they want they need someone and we come to you know when we look at our own personal lives we still sometimes you know of don't feel like we have hope to fill down we fill them press and sometimes even things that make good and i'm sure to watch you visit they are sick they are sick yes and so and then there was a point in your life you were sick oh yes and what happened there was something i happened to you well i tell you many years ago back in ninety i believe it was ninety seven i hit relocated from somerset county down to the shore in asbury and my granddaughter was about three years old i think three or four and my niece it begin to hurt me a whole lot i was at that time i was working in a with a lady that had a cleaning business and i needed my knees my legs so every turn i wouldn't bend to you know to been to go to pick up something or to sit down my favorite phrase was oh i need her my granddaughter she took it maybe she didn't take it as a joke but she started saying for me the moment i made start to been and i had so many other things that were bothering me at that moment that the needs were not at the top of the list of things that need to be so ed and once sunday i went to times square church with my godmother my godfather and during the worship service i wouldn't even thinking about my niece she had dropped her bible between because times square than all the eight or so and with the theater seats she dropped her bible between the seat and couldn't reach it because i got skinny and she got chubby and so i said don't worry about it all my hands are skinny are reached down to get it so i've been worship service of just worship in and thanking god for different things i got i i got healed and to this day i have not had a pain in my knees since that day i believe it was like dreams summer of ninety seven and it just it just blew blew my mind i'm like whoa so you saw this pain that you had in your  never it was very painful it was so painful that i spoke about it all whenever i would bend whenever i would go on my knees oh you know been my leg it was so difficult he operates but one thing we could know for sure he cares yes he does and he loves us and he love you just like he loves lot of other people because when i came up from you when i came up from reaching into them but in the hind that seek to grab my godmother's bible no pain no and you know what i realize had i not that day taken and put as the old song goes and cast and all my cares upon him and went in like that police service i just whatever was going on you know before it's like leave it at the door leave it outside i left it there and just went ahead and thanked god well lord even though the knees hurt i'm still able to stand ok crippled i'm not hungry i'm not homeless i'm not i'm not without buns yes i just thanked him for what i'm all ready and he he said prez and during that time you you know you felt it just getting back to the part where you had a lot going on in your life like we all have a lot going on in our lives yes  t your situations were overwhelming that men look different things there are you know yes or no one that we all like i said we all have our challenges and things that we try doing we are indoor and trying to get through day by day and but what you did was you took the focus off you and you put him on god and i think that's and then you begin to thank him i i began to be thankful for what i did have what is in other words what do you have in front of you big thankful for that yes and i and i think that's what's missing is you know you you have people  yes and i think if we began to be more thankful and just be more appreciative that things start change in a star lineup and mark and mark correct correct you're right on target  then what happens is that where if we're not paying for we're grumbling and complain and nothing is right what happens is that it takes a toll on you mentally it takes a toll on you physically thank you and so you've just been you just went into a service and just being began to be thankful even though you had the storm clouds raging like you know we all have storm clouds rage and yes weather is something going on in the family something going on in a job but at the same token we know that god could he really really care he cares for us yes and do you think that healing is for today  line you know they got a spring clothing line they got a winter clothing line those clothes allies the designers got a you know do a spring line and then you know all of a sudden their clothes that what just selection is gone  but but a same token god is still the healer yes he loves us and he never never never never abandon us so he doesn't go out of style oh he's always a star always inside it just came and you know as so many people elaine are dealing with because i had met you before you retired and you are a grandmother and you have a granddaughter and you have children right you know that you're showing them how you care and how you and your friends concern about their well being thank god is the same way yes he is he cares about us and he is so concerned about us yes people need to know that people need to know that god loves them they need to know that god cares yes is he listening oh yes he's listen and all  you go to a restaurant when i go to a restaurant and they have something new on the menu and they say well why don't you try just paste it and it's the same way with people that you visit that are home bound and they say well i and just to charge you know just give them a try allow him to to come a little closer to you and he's not going to hurt you no actually he wants to bless you like you know you had a lot of things going on in your life even i had things going on in my life with family members you know they went through a lot a sickness and you know just trying to get through different and so we have to be there for them and help and as you're with your family trying to help other family members get through so it's been a journey for the last few months just so when other family members out to get through what they need to get through because  challenge yes and you know when you come on the other side of being heat from being sick to being healed and you say i'm thankful and thankful turned into giving back to someone else that needs yes don't just keep keep it to yourself no you say i'm going to go and find somebody else that i can bless and share with them how it was f heavenly father right where they are meet them at that point their need to be healing be finances be it whatever they need we know you will open up the windows  heaven and pour out upon them blessings that they don't even have room to receive and we thank you right now in the mighty name

girlfriend or boyfriend or husband or wife there's a bonding you're creating a relationship and you're becoming closer to each other so that when it gets to the point where one can tell when the other

god just just take a chance i'll give you a challenge ladies and gentleman that challenges where you're by yourself whether being lunch or whether you go out to lunch or whether dinner or whether
