One of Trudy's favorite quotes is:"Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.".
More about Trudy:"I spent a good portion of my life trying to figure out what life meant and answering why was I here. I grew-up Baptist I was there anytime the church doors were opened as I grew older I began to question my faith and my life. I went through a divorce then married a man that I had 3 son's with, this marriag...Expand for more
e ended in divorce after 24 years. Than I married my late husband who passed away after only 9 mos from a freak accident.
I tried to be like everyone else, pretending to âjust want to have funâ but instead ignoring God & my faith, something very deep in me longed for something more.
One night, I turned to the back of my Bible where there was a concordance, and I marveled at how often the word âloveâ was listed. I scanned down all of the passages, and saw âGod is love.â 1 John 4:16. Turning to it, the words resonated deeply in me as I knew I had found the Truth that I had been searching for so desperately.as I prayed alone in my bedroom in the house that I was renting with my son's, I wept and asked God to forgive me and to reenter my life again.
Although I still face hardships and trials I keep my eyes upon on my Lord and know he will give me the courage and strength to carry on.
I am so very grateful & thankful that He shed His blood for me. May all the Glory be Godâs and His alone.".
