The Goodwill Visit
There is a short story behind this sad boys face as to how I came about it. I was in a Goodwill store with my youngest daughter. I was looking around and I heard her say “What is it mommy?” And to my astonishment, she was pointing to this picture. It was in a dollar store frame and a bit ragged but she wanted that picture. Having glass on it, I was reluctant to give it to her so I tried to bribe her with a doll and she insisted on the picture
Again, I bribed her with other toys but to no avail. Her mind was set, and she wanted that picture. Please keep in mind that she is not three years old yet. I finally gave in and picked up the picture and very cautiously passed it on to her. She paused and stared at the little boys tears, and for the second time, she looked up at me and said “What is it mommy”? It was then that I noticed the tears falling from the little boy's cheeks that she was so captivated by. So I then looked at her and she was starring at his tears as her eyes whelped up and her little precious quivering lips spoke softly and said to a nearby woman, “Hey woman look" and pausing for the woman to look, again she said, "Hey woman look”. After the woman looked and expressed her interest, I told little Emily how some people don't have cloths, or food to eat. That is some very hard medicine for a three year old to take.
(Actually, it's hard medecine for one human being to see another one go hungry and homeless). Her response was immediate, and with these words of love as her own eyes was red trying to hold back her own tears she begain to say, "Mommy, we need to buy some food for that little boy". Of course, my heart just melted at the sound of her precious innocent voice wanting to help that little boy. It was hard for me to keep my own composure after she expressed so much of her own original emotion's as we proceeded to the check out. She would not let go of that picture even for the clerk to hold it, for fear that somehow, she would loose it or would'nt give it back. As we drove home, she continued to hold that little boys tears, and I thought, if only adults would have the heart of a child, what a wonderful world it would be. I have learned many lessons in life, but the one's I most treasure is the lessons that are so wondrously displayed in the eyes of a child. All went well and now my precious little Emily Ann sleeps with a smaller copy of that little boys tears beside her bed. I know this may not sound so precious to you, but it was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had the pleasure and blessing, to be a part of. And, it was all over a sad picture of a homeless little boy who brought tears to a babies eye's. Is it so hard for you to see now, why God said in; Matthew 18:3.Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. It’s the innocence a little child displays that has more character than all the billionaires in the world. I thank God for giving me this special little girl, and this awesome lovely gift.
Life is so short, and we just don’t’ know Just how far, in life we will go. Preserving the soul, to do saintly deeds. Throughout the whole bible, God tells us to help those in need. If I can do just one thing right before Gods eyes, I pray I can stop the tears, of a poor child’s eyes. Nancy Whitmore-Shields

Below this awesome work of art by Danny Hahlbohm is a poem I wrote for all my visitors to share:
May God shine His mercies on you, And may his love be a light in all that you do. May your worries be few and your prosperities be more. May God watch over you, as you depart from my door. May you find peace at night, past dawns mornings light. May his hand guide you all day, and keep Satan at bay. May the God of Abraham protect you with His shield. And may He bless you with an abundant yield.Nancy Whitmore-Shields

It is so sad to know that in our own country there are homeless angels just like this precious child. Living on the streets, in the parks and on the river banks or wherever they may find a spot to lay, it just doesn’t seem fair.
I would like to tell you a little aboutmyhusband and myself. I am a married fifty-seven year old mother of five children the youngest child being our precious adopted baby girl. She was a victim of an accidental birth. Little Emily’s biological mother was three months pregnant with her and a very complex person who was homeless. My daughter introduced her to me and my heart felt her sorrow. We nurtured little Emily from birth to present time and prayerfully till she is able to go out into the world on her own. Raising her with the truth and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures in an era of time that is so full of sin and selfishness isn’t an easy task.
Emily has brought so much love and joy in our lives that I know God was fully aware that we needed her as much as she needed us. We live in a large three story dwelling. This was convenient for those unfortunate persons we took in. But unfortunately the house we live in also generates large utility bills. Having lived at our present address for the past fourteen years has kept our rent to a minimum. But the house is too big and too hard to cool or heat. Unfortunately we can’t move because the scale of rental property has sky rocketed. We are trying our hardest to buy a house as rental property is so much higher than purchasing. My dream was always to have a big building so I could help alcoholics and the homeless. I also wanted to have an orphanage where each child could get individual love and care. But I suppose we all have our dreams. It's just so sad that dreams of that nature never come true. But we are now older and have freely taken on the raising of a beautiful baby girl. We believe she is the best seed we could ever possibly plant for God at this phase in our lives. Dedicating ourselves in the knowledge of all the things we have learned from life to give to her.
No one likes to talk about death. But I was at deaths very portal, face to face and realized at first hand just how vital the consequence is if your soul is not prepared to face the inevitable course of death. Unfortunately death to this body is as much a part of our lives as giving life itself. We exercise ourselves to be joyous over the birth of a child and feed our minds to be fearful of the things unknown such as death. If any person who does not have a personal relationship with God Almighty really believes that there ready for death, then they are way off base. And trying to ignore the fact that you are going to die won’t make it go away. Each breath we take draws us nearer to our eternal destination. But I can honestly tell you that with God on your side there is actually a peace that does surpass all understanding; and that when you lay your head on your pillow at night you have nothing to fear because you already no that God is at your side.
You can actually feel the presence of a stronger comforting power abiding about you. Sounds crazy? Not at all! I can tell you so because I faced my darkest hour from the chilling gripping hand of death about my own body in 1998. After nearly a months stay in the local hospital and several trips back to the hospital getting blood transfusions each time, which at that time my then attending physician informed my loved ones that the next time I would not be coming back home.
I realized beyond any human imagination of the mind, at that moment my life was at its end and there wasn’t a thing I could do about it! I was going to die! My illness was sudden and by all moratl rights, I should have died then and there! No amount of money could save me from my untimely death, even if I were the most recognized most popular and wealthiest person in the entire world, none of these things could save me now! I can not stress how much that anything you poses or own means literally zero to you.
My stay in the hospital was a horrific reality enveloped in fear every second each day each week. I dreamed dreams that made no sense. I felt like everyone around me was trying to kill me. Choking on fear to the highest degree, then I realized that I needed to make a commitment to God Almighty. As time passed, my courage and strength grew stronger because of prayer and my determined faith in God. Though my doctors at that unfortunate time were still persistent that I was given an untimely death sentence. They just didn't realize the awesome power of God Almighty.I was being accepted through the Hospice program in assisting me to prepare for my untimely death by giving me courage and making me as comfortable as possible for the short remaining time I was to have left. Though Hospice is a most wonderful organization. and I am so thankful and grateful for there unique services, it was one place I did not want to be.
God had other plans for me and my family regardless of the many physicians continuous endeavor to pursue the belief that I was truly going to die. There was much prayer from many churches in whom I am so gratefully thankful for. And a very special doctor who stood alone among his piers in my eye’s who believed in prayer. Holding to the faith and giving praise to the God of Abraham who healed me. There were many individuals praying for me and encouraging me to remember God can and will do whatsoever you ask in his sons name and believing, it will be done. And I immensely appreciate and love each brother and sister in Christ that cared enough to say even the shortest prayer on my behalf, and the prayers from the hospice workers themselves were tremendously appreciated the same. For I know and am assured through Gods spirit, had it not been for the many prayers from so many people that I would not be here today. Please if you do not have a personal relationship with the God of all creation who died to set us free, please make a commitment with him and follow it through for I am truly convinced and am telling you now,while you are gasping for air, and I do mean when I say;
at the last breath in your body your money wont’ matter, your cars wont’ matter, your bank account wont’ matter and none of your “stuff” just wont matter! And it’s not who you know or what you have. God does not hold partiality! Death is a part of and as real as life itself. Life is given every second of the day and death is likewise taken. One can not exist without the other. But there is an eternal life that will never pass that’s beyond our mortal bodies for eternity.
It is time itself. Not as we know it, but as the Father knows it. No more death, no more fear of death, no more pain, no poverty, no homeless and no wars. But all will be peace and love forever more. I really could have died in 1998. But because we have a loving and merciful God I still live today. I see my grandchildren grow that had I died would never have even known some of them were to be born. Oh! With wonderful excitement I truly do praise and thank my God in heaven above for his merciful and undying love. That he would pardon death and take it from me’; how gracious and merciful God truly is. Please trust in a God that delivers what He says He will do. You’ll find sleep much easier with Gods blanket of love and mercies over you at night. And His strong hand on your weary shoulder at day. Prayerfully Yours in Christ Our Lord
