To one of the most Influencial people in my life

Fr. Angelo,

To one of the most amazing priest that I have ever met in my whole entire life. You have made such a big difference in my life. You have always been that spiritual leader, the one that I would look up to and almost hold my breath to hear

your inspirational words of faith.

I thank you Fr. Angelo for the wonderful

memories that we made. From the first time we met in the year 2000 at OLOL - you welcomed me and my family and called us each by name. Your spirit and genuiness is what attracted us to OLOL and for that I am thankful.

You were such a HUGE part of our lives when we lost Baby Emmanuel - Yes, Oh how can I forget that day. As I was going through those difficult moments, I placed a call to our church and shortly after you and Moe arrived at Health Park to hold my hand during those trying times. I still remember your echoing words to my hubbie - "Try and convince her to see the baby, that would be good for her". And yes, after I gave birth to our still born, the spirit of God pushed me to see our baby boy, and yes you were right, I am glad I did see him.

Those are the moments Fr. Angelo that I will NEVER EVER forget. You in living out Jesus - were there for me and my family.

May God always always bless you for showing us the love of Christ through you.

I love you so very much and you will never ever ever be forgotten.

Thank God For Closed Doors

Thank God for Closed Door - We need to learn to thank the Lord for closed doors just as much as we do for open doors. The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn't close the wrong door we would never find our way to the right door. Even when we don't realize it, God directs our paths through the closing and opening of doors. When one door closes, it forces us to change our course. Another door closes; it forces us to change our course yet again. Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing. But instead of praising God for the closed door (which kept us out of trouble), we get upset because we 'judge by the appearances.' And in our own arrogance, or ignorance, we insist that we know what is right. We have a very present help in the time of need who is always standing guard. Because He walks ahead of us, He can see trouble down the road and HE sets up road blocks and detours accordingly. But through our lack of wisdom we try to tear down the roadblocks or push aside the detour signs. Then the minute we get into trouble, we start crying 'Lord how could this happen to me?' We have got to realize that the closed door was a blessing. Didn't He say that 'No good thing will He withhold from them that love Him?' If you get terminated from your job - don't be down, instead thank God for the new opportunities that will manifest themselves - it might be a better job, or an opportunity to go to school. If that man or woman won't return your call - it might not be them, it might be the Lord setting up a roadblock (just let it go). I'm so grateful, for the many times God has closed doors to me, just to open them in the most unexpected places.

'The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.' (Psalms 37:23) The Mountain top is glorious, but it is in the Valley that I will grow!

Always Remember God gives you...
Enough Happiness to keep you Going
Enough Trials to keep you Strong
Enough Sorrows to keep you Human
Enough Hope to keep you Happy
Enough Failure to keep you Humble
Enough Success to keep you Eager
Enough Friends to give you Comfort
Enough Wealth to meet your Needs
Enough Enthusiasm to make you look forward
Enough Faith to banish depression
Enough Determination to make each day a better day than the last.
and Enough Honey to keep you Sweet

Life must be lived forward but can only be understood backwards. If you love God, share this and He will continue to open and close doors for you.

When this child smiles - his face radiates nothing but happiness. We are so blessed to have you little AJ in our lives.

Ayi & Shu-Shu love you so much - thank You Jesus for blessing us once again with one of your own.

And God Said

My sister came across this beautiful poem and I too could not help but think of our baby boy Emmanuel. This poem refreshes my hope in knowing that someday I will be reunited with our son. Thanks Munny for sharing this with me.

And God Said

I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed." And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard." And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my son died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your son lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?" And God said, "Mine is on My right and Yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts." And God said, "I know."
