My sweet sister, Ruth, sent me a CD to listen to by someone who spoke in their church. It was titled, The Dip. After listening to the CD, I immediately felt better on the inside. God knows what we need to hear and when we need to hear it. I cannot count the number of times He has used my sister to make sure I heard what He needed me to hear.
As a side note to my previous post about Friends/Mental Illness yesterday, I do not think I would be alive today had it not been for my belief in God and knowing that He's there for me, even when I don't go to Him when I should. He is faithful when I'm not and that's a majority of the time, I guess.
I don't know how people who don't believe in God survive in this world without going absolutely insane. I really don't. I don't cram it down their throats, but everyone that I personally know, knows that I grew up in a Christian home and that I believe in God, Heaven and Hell and my prayer is that I make it to Heaven.
I make mistakes every day. I don't live like I know I should. I find comfort though, knowing that God knows and hears my prayers. It's up to me to do better and I know that. Maybe that's part of my depression and feeling lonely. I'll have to do something about that myself and no one can help me.
In summary, I'm thankful that my sister loves me enough to send me CDs of things she knows I need to hear. She's a blessing to me in so many ways every single day. I love you, Ruth.

I always say that God uses people to help people, and I love it when others obey his leading. Your sister is a special vessel.
I'm so glad you are better today. Sometimes all it takes is a simple word of encouragement. I love you bunches. And your sis.
