I have learned the
meaning of gratitude on a daily basis as a result of being a resident at Mercy
Manor. So I made an extra effort to do things asked of me - getting up on
time, doing my chores, respecting the feelings of others, smiling when I don't
always feel like it. After all, it's not about Brenda all the time.
Mercy Manor has truly given me a new lease on life. I thank my higher
power whom I choose to call "Jesus" for truly allowing a miracle to happen in my
life, by a bed becoming available at a time when I had no where else to go - no
where - because at that time, people still weren't willing to open up their
doors due the the wreckage of my past. Today, I can thank my Father in the
name of Jesus, because as the promises say, "We'll be amazed before we're
halfway through." People are seeing the result of my Father cleaning me
up, restoring me to sanity, and relieving me from the obsession and compulsion
to do drugs and alcohol, one day at a time. I thank Mercy Manor and God.
Mercy Manor
helped me re-enter society when I got out of jail. I needed a safe
environment to go to, one with structure and discipline. It helped me
learn to live my life soberly, responsibly and spiritually. Without Mercy
Manor, I honestly don't know how I would have made it. The staff members
are all beautiful people who are genuinely concerned for the welfare of women.
They really care. They didn't make me feel like just another client.
The love and acceptance in Mercy Manor helped bring about the peace and
happiness I feel inside. The blessings are still happening in my life
since I have been living right, and I know I never have to go back to the life I
used to have. Thank you Mercy Manor for all you've done in my life.
First and
foremost Mercy Manor means peace of mind. It offers a safe and protective
environment consistign of a loving home-sylle atmosphere. It's the parents
that I never had. It is a listening ear, or a strong shoulder when I need
to cry or have someone to lean on. It gives me courage. Its's not a
place for enabling or carrying when I am able to walk on my own. It allows
me to be all that I can be, and understand who I was, and who I choose to be.
I have so much
gratitude and appreciation for the support Mercy manor gave me and continues to
give me. Mercy Manor offered me a safe environment and a home. Mercy
Manor gave me a chance to address issues and feel safe. Today, I bring
others to Mercy Manor for the same blessings.
Mercy Manor
means a new beginning, new friends and unconditional love. Mercy Manor is
my support system and a safe haven when I need it. It is a house full of
love, laughter, and hope. Mercy Manor offered me a life with my child.
They have the true spirit of God.
