A Big Thanks and also an apology

[risingeagle222]

I would like to thank you all much for your love and concern for our situation. This happened thursday morning at 6am when my husband was told to get the f... out of the house we were staying at. I could not believe this was all happening. The man that owned the house we were living at has major anger issues but I never thought it would come down to getting thrown out. The guy even one day shoved my disabled husband and slammed the door on him so it was not a good place for us to be but we had no choice with all this work comp stuff that has happened.
We are now staying with my daughter and those doors were amazingly opened for us at a time when we had no where to go. I believe that God is there for us and he is never late!
Now on the 2nd note I would like to apolize to anyone that felt i was asking for something more than prayers. I did not mean to make anyone feel as if were begging for help. So to those of you who thought that I am sorry.
We have the bestest group of people here on this forum and I thank God for each and every one of you!
Thanks again to all of you for your support. Love ya all!!!!

risingeagle...there is no need to apologize for anything. I am thankful that you let us know what was happening...so we could all get busy attempting to find a solution that may help you. None of us want to think that you are on the streets somewhere unsafe and cold..that would be a disaster...thank our heavenly father and your loving daughter that you are now warm and safe.... love Red

Even if you were asking for more than a prayer you did come to the right place to do it because of the caliber of people on this site. I believe there are a lot of people here willing to help any way they can even if they have no more to offer than a prayer.

Risingeagle, thank you for updating us. Please do not feel that you have to apologize for anything. You came to the right forum for support. We may not be able to give anymore than a prayer, or a list of resources that can help you out, or an ear to listen to you and a shoulder to cry on but we have all been through this and we all together can help. The love that comes from this forum is miraculous. Please try to keep us updated.

Take Care,
Deb

Rising....I am so glad you are safe now and your daughter's door was opened to you. Keep us posted as to how getting some other aid is going. I have the upper most respect for you. The WC system is tough enough but your added burdens make it all even harder and you are doing one day at a time. You're right, He is never late. IF you needed something other than prayers we would have all done the best we could to help so please don't eve rfeel the need to apologize. Prayers will continue that your situation turns around.

Be safe,

So happy you are OK and praying that you receive the help you need soon........

Eagle, don't appologize, we are all glad to know that you and your family are ok. If it was not for our friends and family none of us would make it though this mess of wc. Know that prayer helps all. Over the years if it wasn't for the help of others we would have been on the streets. Wish there was more we could do, but know will continue to pray for you and yours to get the help you need. Please keep us all informed.
