Another 'RS Member' Thread

Hello all.

I have been writing n rewriting this post on n off all day. But for some1 who is rarely lost for words, i am, yet again.

But i gotta try n say something; express my gratitude.

The way my life has been going...well, it doesnt take much to throw me these days; lotsa times i struggle. Just to keep it together. 

But things happen, here n there, that remind me there must be a reason why to it all.

Well...so i do; so i am.

I make no bones that rightnow, God n Clara...i draw strength from them; believing He must know what is right, above all else.

Though my faith in Him is what it is, and i would be lost n gone without it...i struggle with the human side of that, sometimes.

But, like i said above, things happen. 

N sometimes 'right' people happen.

And ya know what? I sure seem to find A LOT of those people on this forum.

And i just want to add Bob Ellison to the list of people who have shown me, once again, that decency n kindness in this world isnt dead...and im sure God will sort it out, n following Him certainly seems the way to go in finding one's way through these strange times.

I wont go into detail because i dunno how much i should share; i'll let the pics tell the rest. Besides, all i did was was express some thoughtfulness because one of Bob's posting struck a nerve. I never thought much of it past that, because, well, ive always thought, Isnt that the way a fellow Man should be towards another, who is facing hard times? Lord knows, many of you here have done that same thing here, for me, many times...

And so i just want to close by saying that i consider Mr. Bob Ellison not only a fine Craftsman,but also another fine & decent human being that the Forum is fortunate to count as a member.

I am humbled, Sir, and i thank You.

I will be in touch again, as i wrote you earlier; count on that, as well as continued words with Him, about all concerned.

And i thank the rest of you, too, for having me in your ranks.

I am grateful.

@BOB ELLISON is the best, I too am honored to count him among my flock of Christian friends. We all face struggles in life but faith in God goes a long way to ease that burden.

Look at Psalms 91, has always given me comfort when this world has overwhelmed me. Bob

I don't know whether to cry about Bob's generosity or because he mentioned he will not be making them any more.

God is good! I believe in good karma as well I am always doing things for folks for free a lot of times or little to no cost. And i have gotten rewarded 10 fold. I do what I do to help others not for a gift in return. My late dad instilled that to me and I am thankful for that. It is so good to here stories like this specially with whats all going on in this world today! The thing I tell folks when i am helping them weather it is a car repair or garden tractor repair and they have little to no money. I tell them just pass on the good deed and say Thank You. A Thank you means more to me then anything someone could give me.

Bob is an awesome guy!  He sent me a patriotic seat for my 1054 a while back, it looks amazing!  The white is a great pearl color, the deep red and blue are so good too!

 

There’s a Luke Bryan song based on Philippians 4:15(?). “Don’t worry ‘bout nothin’, pray about everything.”

Looks great 👍

What a wonderful gesture.....and at the same time what a gut check for us who think we will all be here forever.. Im sure we all can relate to losing a loved one, or gaining a friend for doing a simple task, who for them would be impossible.

      I can cane a chair, a long lost art... but I cannot do work like Bob when it comes to re-upholstering. We all have wonderful talents and we need to embrace and love them while the good Lord has given us our time here on Earth. God Bless everyone, and their God given talents..

Not sure really what is going on I am on and off here with work and don’t see every post but I know with God all things are possible!  I like what many have said and it warms my heart!  @pullstart your right “Don’t worry ‘bout nothin’, pray about everything.”  God will take care of us!  365 times in the Bible he tells us to fear not!  One fear not for every day of our lives!
