A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

We are on the verge of ending yet another year. We approach a new year with hope, promise and hopefully dreams to be fulfilled. On this very special day, Christmas, the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, let us all reflect upon the sacrifices that Jesus made in order to save mankind and let us further reflect upon the sacrifices that those who were able to help the less fortunate made in order to provide a safe haven to them.

I write specifically about individuals who unselfishly sacrificed their personal lives and finances in order to benefit those who had nothing. I write about one individual, my friend, Sean Anthony Cononie. Sean has parted with his own finances in order to create and maintain the Homeless Voice Shelter in Hollywood, FL so that those less fortunate than he, could have a home once again.

We look upon Christmas as a day of giving, a day of thanks to God for allowing His son, Jesus Christ to save our souls through the ultimate sacrifice He had to pay.

All of us who have become homeless have toiled with the very thought that we were alone, unloved, unwanted and perceived as nothing less than dirt, yet, Sean saw things differently and took the ball and ran with it.

I have known Sean for over five years now and througout my tenure with the shelter I have seen not only the shelter grow for the better but Sean also growing with pride and satisfaction regarding helping so many people.

On behalf of all of us you have helped Sean, I thank you, for you truly are the example of what humanity should be. You constantly find ways to make those who need you feel wanted, your love for all is what keeps the shelter running so once again, thank you my dear friend.

I have a wish for all of you who are with the shelter, it is simple, it is straightforward and from my HEART.

I wish for all of you that God may grant you the PEACE you are looking for, the LOVE you all deserve and the HOPE for a better tomorrow.

I am so proud to be a part of you and so blessed that God loves me enough to allow me to do what I do each and every day, hopefully making your daily lives just a bit better.

On behalf of Lily and Ron, please accept our best wishes for a wonderful Christmas, remember, WE ARE ALL FAMILY and may God keep watching over all of you and know that you are no longer alone....you and I and Sean are FAMILY.

Merry Christmas everyone and may God bless you all my brothers and sisters.

Christmas, the day Jesus Christ was born.

As we approach another Christmas day, I wonder how many out there realize the true meaning of this special Holiday.

For most it will be a day of exchanging presents, celebrating with wonderful food and libations, partying and so on.

For others, it will be another day of loneliness, tears and sadness. I write about the homeless, who once again will see this day come and go as yet another reminder of all they have lost.

I have a word of encouragement and support for these individuals, you are not alone my brothers and sisters. You are in my heart and in my prayers, remember that Jesus Christ was also born....HOMELESS.

This special day of celebration is about the birth of Christ, it is the very motivator that you and all of us must adopt into our lives each and every day. Do not despair, you are not alone, because, with each day comes the new promise and new hope that this day will be better than the last day as long as you put God and Christ in your hearts and into your lives.

I will post a special Christmas Day message to all of you, but in the meantime, please pray for the poor, the oppressed and the homeless in America, pray that they somehow find comfort and PEACE this Christmas and pray that their lives become a little more tolerable and a little less anxious this upcoming New Year.

Thanks again to all of you and may God bless you all.

Hi Everyone!!!

I haven't left my blog, just bogged down lately and just wanted all of you to know that I'm fine and still fighting every day  for the poor, the oppressed and the homeless in America.

I do hope that all of you share your comments with me and remember to tell everyone you know to post comments as well. The more everyone is aware of what I'm trying to do, the sooner I can plead my case to Washington.

Thanks again to all of you and God bless you all.
