About a year ago, I was working on materials for a retreat. The theme was “The Value of A Woman.” In the process of preparing materials, I kept coming across references that described God’s attitude towards us as His children. As I personalized them, the following list emerged. I hope it will encourage you as much as it did me.

“I want to heal you.”.. this is a promise that I need to hear today..
Hi Debbye,
It’s so good to see you! How are you Ms. Songster?
Your list is wonderful and I keep thinking how great it would be to put in a poster format. Remember those ABC’s of life? Some years back? Everyone had a poster…… This could work with these words. Glad to see you are still pressing in!!
now that’s a list!!!! I made it about 1/3 of the way through; guess I will have to come back to it on another day. Of course, back in the-day when we use to “hang out” I don’t know that I would have even read ANY of the list. So I guess that’s progress, huh? I have seen similar lists, but you seem to have put a bit of a different touch on yours. That’s a good thing. Thanks. I’ll try to finish reading through it soon.
THIS IS FABULOUS AND SHOULD DEFINITELY BE MADE INTO A POSTER WITH A BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND. I NEED HEALING IN SO MANY WAYS, …SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY……thanks Deb for this incredible opportunity to grow and heal with and through someone I trust because of 30 years ago I knew you……………
