The Humble and Amazing Professor

07.07.2016 by Ten for HIm // Leave a Comment

It is funny how God can put a situation in your life literally an hour before the Ten for Him money was given to us to give away.

Here is what happened before I came home from work.  One of my factory employees was sitting on the landscape waiting for a ride.  She is about 65 years old and is a lead in my dept.  We recently hired a new manager for her and I was told she was concerned for her employment.  So I took the opportunity to sit on the rocks and visit with her.  My intentions were to make sure she knew we valued her and her job was fine.  When I greeted her and asked how she was doing…..the answer was,” I am tired.” She has been working 70 hours/week for me for several weeks.  What I didn’t expect to hear was that she was waiting for her teenage grand kids to give her a ride to college so she could TEACH an organic chemistry class.  She let me know she had to teach this class because she needed a new septic system and the cost was $10k.  Shocked that this woman was a retired college professor and working for me I nearly broke down.  The story gets better.  The next day I found out she also adopted her two teenage grandchildren from and has been raising them….hence the reason she works so hard.  I couldn’t wait to run home and share with my wife what I now knew. She agreed, that this woman was who she was supposed to give her Ten for Him money to.
So my wife came to my work and I introduced her to this remarkable woman.  They had  a tear fest.  She of course did not want to take the $100 but my wife assured her that she gives to others all the time and it was time for her to be on the receiving end. We will be praying for her everyday.
Needless to say, some people can be simply amazing and you would never know it.

Library Surprise

06.01.2016 by Ten for HIm // Leave a Comment

I got the idea while I was bookmarking a book I was reading on Depression and Anxiety.  I gave the $ away by tucking it with the scripture (Phil. 4:19) and a note that read “You are loved” into pages of books on Depression at the library.

I felt like sometimes even a little light in someone’s life when they are battling with depression can offer hope. Hope and love are very powerful.

With Love From America to Kenya

06.01.2016 by Ten for HIm // Leave a Comment

My daughter’s Economics professor’s family in Kenya was deeply affected by the Al-Sahab Massacre at the University. Two daughters were murdered. I could not stop thinking about this whole situation. It haunted me and I wanted them to know we care in America about their suffering. I gave a letter with the $100, to the professor explaining what Ten for Him was, and how we were heartbroken for him and his family. He sent a thank you letter and verification of the money transfer to Kenya.
His note said, “  Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  Matthew 5:4

“I thank the Lord for using you and your Ten for Him sisters to comfort my family.  Words cannot fully express the gratitude I feel for what you have shown to me and my family.  Your prayers mean the world to me. Please pass my sincere appreciation to the other sisters in Christ, The Ten for Him.   Maybe one day I will meet all of them and thank them in person.”

I felt unified with people far away that are being persecuted for being a Christian. How easily we take for granted our religious freedom.

Supporting the love of an aunt and uncle

04.21.2016 by Ten for HIm // Leave a Comment

I am a CASA Advocate for those who don’t know what that is…it is a court appointed special advocate.  This is a person who represents the best interest of children who are in CPS.  The advocate visits the child monthly and develops a very important trusting relationship with the child. I have two cases presently.  At first I thought I would give it to the family of a case that I have that involves twin babies.  However, as we know how Ten for Him works things change!  I also have another case that involves teenage siblings.  These teens are actually in a home that is with their aunt and uncle.  I have come to develop a strong relationship with the whole family.  The aunt and uncle are amazing people.  I am convinced the aunt and uncle are in this for the long run and they truly love my teens as if they are their own children.  As you can imagine having six kids in one house and you both work..there is chaos just getting people where they need to be and get dinner on the table.  On my last visit I decided to give the Ten for Him money to the aunt and uncle.  I gave her the history on Ten for Him and told her I thought she should take her husband to dinner!  Although, I doubt she will, the money will more than likely go towards family bills. She loved the idea of Ten for Him and was very moved by receiving the money.

An Amazing Woman

01.31.2016 by Ten for HIm // Leave a Comment

I came in contact with this woman through my job, she has adopted a 4 kids who are siblings from the foster care system. These children have many issues and are not easy to care for but she loves them so! She not only provides a safe place and food but she has them in extra curricular activities like football and cheerleading. I was touched by the way she cared for these children. I said ” These kids are lucky to have you in their life.” She responded that if not for the grace of God she could be in their mother’s shoes. The day I gave her the money she had been to the food stamp office and was turned down because she made $3 too much to qualify…..she drives a school bus….she was going to use the money for groceries during the Christmas break.
