This is the truth
But RECOVERY is possible with the right help

Hello, My name is DRUGS – I destroy homes, tear families apart, take your children, and that’s just the start.
I’m more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold, the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
and if u need me, remember I’m easily found, I live all around you, in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door.
My power is awesome; try me you’ll see, but if you do, you may NEVER break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I’ll own your soul.
When I possess you, you’ll steal, cheat, and lie. You do what you have to just to get high.
The crimes you’ll commit, for my narcotic charms will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in your arms.
You’ll lie to your mother; you’ll steal from your dad When you see their tears, you should feel bad.
But you’ll forget your morals and how you were raised, I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from god, and separate friends.
I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I’ll be with you always, right by your side.
You’ll give up everything… your family, your home… your friends, your money, then you’ll be alone.
I’ll take and take, till you have nothing more to give. When I’m finished with you you’ll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned this is no game. If given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.
I’ll ravish your body; I’ll control your mind. I’ll own you completely; your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed, the voices you’ll hear from inside your head,
the sweats, the shakes, the visions you’ll see; I want you to know, these are all gifts from me,
But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart, that you are mine, and we shall not part.
You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do, but you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen. Many times you were told, but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away, If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I’ll be your master; you will be my slave, I’ll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do? Will you try me or not? Its all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell. Come take my hand, I’ll take you to HELL!

He left the 99 to go and find the lost one
That’s true love

He left the ninety-nine.
He left the ninety-nine for ONE.

Our Good Shepherd.

Can you imagine?
Leaving ninety-nine sheep on their own.
To go and find just one single, lost sheep?

Through the parable of the lost sheep,
He shows us just what irreplaceable
prizes we truly are to Him.

One of the most beautiful parts
of God's perspective is just that.

It's His.
His view.
His perspective.

He can see things
we will never be able to see.
He knows our talents.
He understands our flaws.
He views us each as
unique and one-of-a-kind.

Through God's lens,
we are each an invaluable treasure.

And when we have become lost?
Our salvation becomes
an even greater quest to Him.

To once again find His beloved,
wandering treasure, to return
home with Him.

It seems almost impossible for our human hearts to understand. Just how He can love every single person in the world the exact same way. Including, those before us, and those who will come after us. An impossibility, truly...with our human eyes. An impossibility, only made possible through His lens.

In this parable, the lost sheep wandered far away from the shepherd. But, you see, this wasn't just any shepherd. He was the "Good" Shepherd, who so very much loves and cares about his sheep, that he decided to leave the 99 others, to go looking for it. Most of us would think that his time and effort were not worth it. After all, it's just one foolish sheep who got away.

But that's exactly where His perspective comes into play.

The kind of view, that as humans, we will never have.

Because this shepherd wasn't, and isn't, just any shepherd. He is the "Good Shepherd", who was brought into this world to sacrifice everything, because He cares that much about us.

The shepherd in the parable didn't stop. He didn't give up until his mission was completed, and the sheep had been found. Just as Jesus, our Savior, did not give up on His own mission, until He quietly hung on the cross, and wearily cried out, "It is finished". Fulfilling His own journey, placed before Him, by His Father Above. So, that all who believe in Him, would and will be, saved for an eternity.

In the parable, the sheep that was lost was now found; saved because of what the Good Shepherd did for it.
.."saved"....."rescued from all harm"...

It is no coincidence that our "Good Shepherd" was born so humbly and lowly, next to a small flock of sheep. No coincidence that the shepherds in the field were some of the very first to receive the message from the Heavenly Angels, that our Savior, "The Good Shepherd" was born ;ready to live a life full of seeking and saving His flock, and sacrificing His entire being, to deliver us from our sins.

When the Good Shepherd finally found his lost sheep, he saved it and brought it home, to where it belonged. In John 10:28, Jesus said, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will sn**ch them out of My hand."

We are all Jesus's sheep.
We are all deserving of His undeserved grace.

But, in order for that grace to be received,
we have to be saved by the Good Shepherd Himself.

Upon the moment He made His lowly entrance into this world, so in need of a powerful redemption, His mission became that of the shepherds who came to see Him, under the guidance of the North Star.

"To seek and save that which is lost".

He left the ninety-nine.
He left the ninety-nine to save one.

I am that one.
And, so are you.

So loved.
So worthy.
So priceless.
So treasured.

As the holiday season arrives once again, and we find ourselves stepping back into the story of our Savior, let us never forget His role in our lives as the "Good Shepherd".

Let us never forget that we are never too
far from His unconditional reach. We are
never too far from His forgiveness. And,
we are never, ever too lost to be found.

For the Bible makes it very clear,

"In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent." (Luke 15:7)

I am so thankful for my daughter Caitlyn, who didn’t even argue with me and called 911 I ended up in the ground Falls Hospital and then I was transferred to Edmundston for a CT scan where they found that I had issues with my liver and kidneys, so they have removed part of my liver and they have removed part of part of my kidney and with my liver and put stents in both, but I’m not out of the woods yet and I won’t be for probably a month or so so I have no energy. I have no get up and go so for now The Shining Light is closed.
Please pray that God heals me completely because I completely need to healing the ambulance gentleman told my daughter Caitlyn if she would’ve waited any longer I could’ve been dead in an hour. That’s how sick I’ve been. I didn’t even have fight me to tell her no so that shows how sick I am because I won’t go to the hospital unless absolutely necessary. I went for Shawn, but not for me earlier but this time it was me on a stretcher going to the hospital, so please please please pray God is in control.

I NEED ALL PRAYER WARRIORS TO PRAY NOW DESPERATELY FOR A PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL AND HER MAMA AND BIG BROTHER

I have permission from her mama to make this post

Exactly 5 years ago last week, I sat in this very hospital and said my final goodbyes to my perfect little boy and held him for the final time.
Today, I sit in the exact same hospital with his beautiful twin sister, hoping that I can find the strength to survive the many flashbacks and PTSD triggers surrounding me, while staying strong for her too.

I know in my heart that this is the best possible place for Sadie, and I know this is her best opportunity to get better and continue to thrive - even if they weren't able to save her twin brother 5 years ago.

I know that tomorrow morning when she goes into surgery that Knox will do everything he can to protect her.

Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes.
Please keep them coming, they are needed and appreciated more than anyone realizes.🥺🖤

God will never stop loving you and taking care of you
