Hi everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to send a personal "Thank You" to all of the "gsd
people" who have helped during the Katrina (and now Rita) ordeal.
I've been moving from place to place since the first storm hit; and am about to
move again. I have limited internet access, so am pretty cut off from the
goings on in the GSD world. With the little I've read about the politics,
lately, I'm kind of glad I am ;)
I just had to express my personal feelings of gratitude to ALL of the people
who have given their time, money, donations, etc. to help other people and dogs
that they probably don't even know. I have been hearing through "the
grapevine" and some on the internet of your selfless acts. You all know who
you are, and I wouldn't want to offend anyone by leaving your name out...so I
won't try to list them all. Please know that your are greatly appreciated.
It is times like these that make us rethink what is truly important and worth
our time and effort.
Please indulge me while I thank some people for their offers and/or actual help
and comfort that I, personally, have received...it has meant more than you
know...that would be Pat Lukos, Mary Tripp, Lynn Goswick, Paula McCullough
(pensacola), John and Leonor Long, Karen Rogers, all who have sent me
encouraging emails, some unknown donors of money at recent dog shows; and last,
but most definitely not least, Greg and Linda Eschette...who are at this moment
keeping two of my dogs for me so I don't have to worry about their safety while
I move from place to place until my house is liveable again. This is no small
favor, since at least one of those dogs is a real pain the the butt sometimes
;). Thank you SOOO much, Greg and Linda!!!
I hope I don't sound the least bit ungrateful or brought down by the current
circumstances. I am not. God has been merciful to me and my family. Yes, I
have cried some tears and wondered what I was going to do (especially with my
dogs)...BUT I only lost possessions. Many have lost much more. I pray for
their comfort and for the Glory of God to be shown in this whole ordeal. God
has provided for my family's needs in many ways, including through some of you.
Thank you for being His hands and feet. Greg is right...God DOES have a plan,
and it is for the good (not harm) of those who put their trust in Him. I look
forward to seeing what will unfold and to learn the lesson He is trying to
teach me. It would be a TRUE tragedy if we all went back to "business as
usual" and didn't rebuild our lives to be better than they were and more in
line with God's eternal plan.
Thanks for the indulgence. Have a Blessed day. I hope to see some of you in
the near future.
Hope Gorrondona
