Free Charity Cars Are Making Dreams Come True



 UPDATE!!!! I now have a NEW CAR and all I did was ask the right question to God and the next day, I was in my new 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. It may be gibberish to you, but I am so serious about this. I got the advise from Ken D. Foster, of Ask and You Will Succeed.

Recently I searched on google trying to figure out if people give away cars anymore. My car is a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, but I have driven it quite a lot to 250,000 miles and it has maintenance that needs to be done on it. Talk about expensive and with the mileage I don't think it would be worth it. I wouldn't get a lot if I traded it in on a new one so I thought that maybe I should do some research and see if people actually give away cars like Oprah did a couple of years ago. That's when I came across Free Charity Cars!



Join me at Free Charity Cars!


It appears to be pretty popular because it even broadcast on the Montel Williams Show. If you are in need of a free charity car, you can apply also and tell your story to the community, which allows you to earn points and reach the 100 points needed to be eligible for a car maintenance payment, free gifts, and a free car. Take some time to look over the website and if you are in need, create a free profile and start moving.

I am going to see what happens and I decided to tell everyone about this because the more people who know makes it even more successful for me getting a charity car. So to learn more, click on the banner within this post, create your profile and then become my friend so we can vote for each other to share in this goodness.

A car is very important to me because of my acting dreams in the arts, but also because of my job as a senior caregiver. I love helping people get well, providing companionship, or just sitting there to make them feel safe.

Thanks,

Day 27: Starfish - Making A World Of Difference



Making A World Of Difference - Based on One Month to Live by Kerry and Chris Shook

Life Lesson (from journal): "When we recognize the power of one--when we focus on the personal needs of individuals--we'll find ourselves transformed and we'll impact lives for eternity."
Kerry and Chris Shook says: The problem come when we start thinking happiness means begin safe and comfortable and when our goal in life becomes the avoidance of all risk. When our top priority is to be safe and secure, we lose touch not just with the needs of others but with a primary need to our own. We were created for so much more than punching buttons and scrolling screens. We were created for a grand adventure! God designed us to take great risks and face huge challenges, to accomplish mighty goals that we will have lasting impact.

If we make it a habit to do what we can, when we can, where we can, we will be transformed as we help others.


*Describe some concrete situations in which God might use you in expected or unexpected ways. (Readings: Acts 8:26-39; 1Peter 4:10-11)

My Answer: God does use us in unexpected ways - I went to a gas station a couple of weeks ago and I needed gas so I could get some errands done and I was standing at the register waiting for the two clerks to fix some pump issue. It so happened that they gave a customer too much gas and another not enough gas because the wrong pump numbers were put in the machine. So, I'm standing there wondering what in the world is going on. One of the customers came in and said "thank you for the extra gas and it wasn't his fault about the pump mixup" and the lady came in and was given the extra gas she paid for. The gentleman said he had to hurry up and go to work and didn't have any more money to pay the $8.00 gas he got over what he paid. I just happened to have $40.00 in my hand and was going to put  $30.00 in my tank to fill it up and out of my mouth came, "I'll pay for it, just go." The man was shocked that I would pay for it and tried to put it on a credit card, but this gas station only took cash or debit. I repeated again, "I'll take care of it, just go. You said you were late for work soon."  I was grateful to have the opportunity to be there and do something in an unexpected way. It really made me feel good, but also a conflict was solved and nothing went wrong over $8.00.
"As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled." - Victor Hugo

Can you listen and care? offer a smile? hug a child? Most of us underestimate the power we have just by being present in the life of someone else.

Today's Challenge
Choose one.
One man, one woman, one child whom you know you can bless with a simple, cost-free gift. A smile, a compliment, a door opened, a held elevator.
Choose one.
From many perspectives, your act of live might seem like a matter of little real impact. From just about any perspective...except the perspective belonging to the one.
Go now and create happiness.

Face Time
God, make my heart sensitive to hurting people and help me see others as You see them.
Give me the strength today to see someone's need and meet it in Your strength.
