How are you? Merry Christmas
A little bit of business before I get into this. I've seen this question
asked
on the message board a lot so yes I do have a new stage play coming out that starts touring in January 2008 called THE MARRIAGE
COUNSELOR and it is AMAZING!!! You're going to love it! I'll tell you more about that later. Yes tickets are on sale.
Now
on to the reason that I'm writing. I don't know if you saw me on CNN the other day. I was at the Atlanta Food Bank packing
boxes for people in need. During the interview I was talking about this nation's food shortage and how it is affecting so
many of "us" not to mention our children.
When most people think of food banks they think that it is for homeless
people,
but homeless people are only a small percentage of people that
receive this food. Most of it goes to hard-working single
mothers who just
can't make ends meet as well as to elderly people who have to make choices
between buying food or buying
medicine. It's just awful. My mother calls
me all of the time and tells me that she is so grateful because if I wasn't
in the position that you all have put me in, then she wouldn't be able to afford her medicines.
So this Christmas as
we celebrate the birth of Christ and the spirit of
His giving if you can please go to www.SecondHarvest.org and enter your
zip
code then you can find a food bank in your area and bring some canned
goods. Things high in protein are better, like peanut
butter, tuna and so
on. Even if it's just one that's enough to make sure that somebody has
something to eat.
But
for the grace of God it could have been any of us. As a matter of
fact it was me not long ago. But I thank God that
I hung in there and that
He brought me through.
And if you're reading this and you are one of those people who are
in
need, please hear me clearly when I say this. "If you believe then God can
deliver!"
I know that this is not
the cool celebrity thing to say but it's the
truth. Had it not been for the grace of God instead of packing those boxes
I
would have been coming to get one.
So hold on my sister, hold on my brother, Life gets better. Things change.
But
you have to keep moving. Those are the words I used to tell myself, I
would say Tyler just keep moving. God's got a plan
in this and when it's
all said and done He will get some glory out of it. It will work for your
good. This is
gonna make you better and it's going to make you stronger.
I know that this may be hard to hear when you're going through,
but I dare
you to just believe it! I gotta stop this. I'm getting HAPPY!!! JESUS!!!
Hold your head up, stand tall and
believe. I dare you. You just keep
moving. SEE YOURSELF doing better and it will come to past. It's got to.
IT'S GOT
TO!!! ENCOURAGE YOURSEF!!! Good God, listen to me. Don't let
this society get you caught up! Don't go into all this
debt trying to buy
things that you can't afford this Christmas. The people who love you are
going to love you with nothing
under the tree. Even if there ain't no
tree. As a matter of fact send them this email for Christmas.. ..LOL!
Live at your level but believe on another!... I'm sorry I gotta
breath....woooooo
God bless, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year!
And remember, the one thing that you never get punished for is giving.
I thank
God that he has given you to me.
