I wanted you to know what a positive influence you had on a complete stranger. Something in my life was almost impossible for me to accept and I came across something you posted and it completely changed how I chose to view it. I will forever be grateful to you.......

No one ever knows how someone can be touched by a complete stranger's words. You made an impact on my life, that I cannot thank you enough. Your words touched me that day and I often refer to what you said as I kept it and read it often. In many ways, I think God meant me to read what you posted as the timing was perfect...

Here is what you wrote and it is just indicative of all the good you have done over the years... I hope someone else can read this here today and be similarlly touched by your kindness....

Let Go .....
To "LET GO" Does not mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.
To "LET GO" Is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another human being.
To "LET GO" Is not to enable, but to allow someone to learn from their natural consequences.
To "LET GO" Is to admit powerlessness , which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To "LET GO" Is not to try to change or blame another, but to make the most of myself.
To "LET GO" Is not to care for, but to care about.
To "LET GO" Is not to fix, but to be supportive, and not violate my values.
To "LET GO" Is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To "LET GO" Is not to be in the middle, arranging all the outcomes , but to allow God to work in the lives of others.
To "LET GO" Is not to be protective, it's to permit another to face reality.
To "LET GO" Is not to deny, but to accept .
To "LET GO" Is not to nag, scold or argue with another person, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and allow God to correct them.
To "LET GO" Does not mean to deny the shortcomings in others, but to accept others unconditionally in love.
To "LET GO" Is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to accept each day as it comes; knowing God offers it to me for growth.
To "LET GO" Is not to criticize or regulate anybody, but to try to become the person I understand God wants me to be.
To "LET GO" Does not mean to compete against another human being, but rather, to compete within myself to learn "self- control" through circumstances God brings into my life.
To "LET GO" Does mean to fear less and love more.
To "LET GO" Means I don't demand my own way, but that I hold firm to my values and beliefs-- while allowing others the same privilege.
To "LET GO" Doesn't mean that I expect God to do everything for me, but that I let God show me how to do His will for my life.

Thank you, GloriaJean..... I am sure I am not the only person's life you have touched in a positive manner. I just wanted you to know that....
