I Met The Heart of Brittany's Project

It Changes How I See Disability  
With Love LisaMe!



See
Your 
Smile

See
Your 
Face

I have not met you
Until
Today

Some may Miss
Just
Why
You
Care

Because 
They don't know your
Story

Today
Learned
Something
New

I
Learned
Why
This
Is
So
Important
To 
You

To invite others
To come
Meet together
In fellowship and fun

 You see disability
As
An
Opportunity
To
Help
Others

To
Be
A
Friend
A Support Network

You are Filled 
With MORE Love 
Than
 Most
Can
Hold

 Sharing your life with others

So
Let's
Bring
Colors  
And
Words

We can write together
Bringing
 Family and  Friends
Together
To spend time Together
And
Make
Some lasting Memories
With Recreation, Support and Social Network

We will sing and dance
And 
Have some Fun

It is OK to feel sad, mad or blue
Allowing our 
Emotions
To 
Be 
True
Lifting one an other up
To 
Encourage, inspire and strengthen
 Your spirit
Together with our hearts of hearts
Today
I
Met Your Family
Whether you are a Caregiver
Or
Have a Special Need

Support to Accomplish
Your goals and dreams
Together We can
All
Be on the same Team

Because at Brittany's Project 
We have Love for You

Today I became a Volunteer
For
The
Brittany's Project

Was
Easy

You can donate, volunteer we all have something we can do

Love LisaMe!
Your Sister Friend

Note: It was not as easy as I thought to write .. for persons with disabilities and or their families .. I did not know .. the correct language .. I wanted to inspire and encourage without .. insulting or separating .. people .. with different kinds of disabilities .. I too have a disability .. these days brought on because of illness .. I am learning how to deal with it .. And learning about my caregiver/my husband and how to respect  him and his time ..  I found this Caregiver's bill of rights on line .. *this is not used with permission .. but felt it was so helpful ..

Caregiver's Bill of Rights

by Jo Horne
Author of Caregiving: Helping an Aging Loved One
I have the right:
To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will enable me to take better care of my loved one.
I have the right:
To seek help from others even though my loved one may object. I recognize the limits of my own endurance and strength.
I have the right:
To maintain facets of my own life that do not include the person I care for, just as I would if he or she were healthy. I know that I do everything that I reasonably can for this person, and I have the right to do some things for myself.
I have the right:
To get angry, be depressed and express other difficult emotions occasionally.
I have the right:
To reject any attempt by my loved one (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through guilt, anger or depression.
I have the right:
To receive consideration, affection, forgiveness and acceptance from my loved one for as long as I offer these qualities in return.
I have the right:
To take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it sometimes takes to meet the needs of my loved one.
I have the right:
To protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me when my loved one no longer needs my full-time help.
I have the right:
To expect and demand that as new strides are made in finding resources to aid physically and mentally impaired persons in our country, similar strides will be made toward aiding and supporting caregivers.

A Call for Adriana

Note: I received a call concerning a young woman .. by a loving friend .. Who was seeking forgiveness.. who was having trouble forgiving herself .. Adriana .. Here is my encouragement inspired by you ... 

 A Call for Adriana

Many have 
Made 
The fall
But
Many 
Don't 
Make 
The call
Of
Repentance
For
Forgiveness
And 
Prayer

But
Stay Bound
In 
Their
Sin

But 
Because
You had 
A friend
And
Were Able
To Share

Your 
Heart
Can 
Began to heal

Your friend
Did not
Judge
You
But instead
Put in 
A Call
For
Prayer
A Call
To help you
Push 
Through
In Prayer



Luke 7:37
New King James Version
And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
So he said, “Teacher, say it.”
41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”
And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
48 Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
These Scriptures
Really
Speak 
For themselves 
Have you brought
Your Tears
To Jesus
Have you asked
Him
To forgive you
If you have
You are Forgiven
Adriana
Jesus Loves You
Just as much as the woman in the above scriptures
Do not doubt 
That
Go and Sin no more
Jesus will restore you
And 
As the scripture
Below say
It is by
Grace
You have been saved
No amount of work
Could save you
Jesus
Paid it all
On the Cross
He receives
You 
Willingly

Never
Doubt
His Great
Love
For You

With Love
Your sister friend
LisaMe!

Ephesians 2:8-9
New International Version
 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God —  not by works, 
so that no one can boast.
Revelations 3:20
New King James Version
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me
