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 YOURSELF!!! 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 breathe....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.
