I know we all feel the same way, and so I can safely say that we take absolutely no credit for who we are apart from choosing to follow the way our mother led us through, which was to follow a Heavenly Father who accepts and truly loves us for who we are. And I know our mother would give all the credit for every decision she has made in rearing us to the Lord. He is the center of our relationships and its what makes us strong, how could we take credit for something so out of our hands as free grace.<br /> I thank you for the message which I know will inspire a lot of my siblings, you cant know how timely it truly is. It definitely brought a smile to my face, and a boost to my heart, just to know that the lord uses us even when we cant imagine how, is so special. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for not thinking its weird, I for one do not. <br />Blessings to you, Rachel Hope.

So in attempt to pass on a compliment for your siblings, I decided I would try one more time through your blog. I sure hope that is ok. I actually just came across your blog today and spent my lunch hour reading some of your posts. You have a true talent in writing and are very eloquent in your words. You have a way to capture the reader. I have no doubts you will go far as you continue to write. Don’t ever give up your dreams. <br /> <br />This following message is intended as a compliment to you and your siblings, nothing more. <br /><br />Dear Bishop Siblings, <br />Sometimes in life I run across people that draw in my curiosity. Just so you know, you don’t know me, nor have you ever met me, but in hopes to ease your mind, I am far from being a stalker or being crazy. My grandma once told me, that if I felt promoted to do something, I should do it, and that is why I am emailing you. <br /> <br />I feel that we live in such a negative world and often times we forget to look for the positive around us. There are many people that I work with on a daily basis that are missing that optimistic factor and a love for their family and the Lord…this saddens me. I decided a while back that I would take the opportunity when I could, to thank individuals that I feel are examples in such a negative world. <br /> <br />I don’t know for sure which one of you it was, but one of you liked one of my Pinterest posts awhile back and started following my board. Anytime this happens, I generally like to see what boards my followers also have, so I decided to take a look. This in return is what started my curiosity. As I went from one board to the next, I became more intrigued, and this then took me to your family business website, which then took me to your facebook pages, which then in turn took me to family pictures and posts. I know that this sounds completely crazy and a little bit like facebook stalking, but please know this was not my intent. However, I found something unique and rare that brought a smile to my face. Many of you demonstrated a love for the Lord with your select posts. You were not afraid to share your beliefs with those around you. You display hard work and discipline and the ability to work as a team. You demonstrate the desire to follow your dreams and to love life. Last, but not least, you demonstrated a strong family bond and a love for each other. I am not sure who the parents are of the “Bishop" siblings, but I give them credit for what amazing children they appeared to have raised. <br /> <br />I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your examples…Don’t ever doubt the impact you can make on a complete stranger. God bless you!<br /> <br />Sincerely, Tamara <br /><br />Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691978641595106931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982241420207812062.post-23890502465391653602014-02-06T00:48:53.709-05:002014-02-06T00:48:53.709-05:00You ladies are all so sweet, thank you for taking ...You ladies are all so sweet, thank you for taking the time to comment, Thankfully things have calmed for now, and life can be a bit peaceful.

Then when things go bad they give up and despair. But God has given us a new day every day.
