ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

Thanksgiving-2014 This year's Thanksgiving was a time to reflect God's goodness. It was a time for God and family time. I began yesterday by attending church with my mother and my niece, Anita. Some family were already at church,. Then it was a time for family!                                                          Evelyn Pinto                                                          11-28-14

I made up a new word: Sister-Hop! This is exactly what I did yesterday. I traveled to my sister, Roseanna (with my mother) to my sister, Roberta and back again! I love my sisters. I have to tell you this though. My sister, Roberta does not have much in material stuff. She does have a humongous heart. This person, my sister Roberta, would not hesitate to sacrifice and give to someone in need. She is a genuine women of God and I love her so, so much!!!

Thanksgiving: Thanks and Giving.   This is the essence of this holiday: Dear Lord, Thanks  for giving me this food! Thanks for giving me a roof over my head!                  Thanks for giving me clothing on my back! Thanks for giving me the love of family, friends, church and You, Lord! Thanks, God, for giving me A Savior, Your Son, to redeem me, to help me, to comfort me, to counsel me and do walk with me through it all!                               Evelyn Pinto                              Thanksgiving, 2014

I fought to be ok, to have peace with my life! I fought to reach and be  understood in this world! I fought to communicate with others, to be understood by others! I fought to understand this world,(I still don't understand it)! I fought to navigate through the pain and hurts of my yesteryears! I fought to realize how victorious I realize was! I fought to find God.  God fought much more for me!                                   Evelyn Pinto                                   November 19, 2014

Congressmen and other public servants seem more like recipients of the people than public servants. Most of them have a much better life, that we as citizens are supporting. Most of us struggle to just make ends meet!! Calling them citizens for the people is kind of a joke. This joke is costing us a lot!!! I would not mind if more good could come out of it AND if they could experience the financial struggles most of us experience!                             Evelyn Pinto                             November, 2014

Please pray. Last night was a night filled with pain. The pain in my legs felt like my legs were being stretched, then broken apart. My breathing has been labored and it even hurts to breathe.  The pain with my breathing and in the pain my legs had been so paralysing  last night that for a long time, I could not move, think or function. This morning, still in pain and very, very fatigued,I I felt there was too much morning , not enough coffee! When I finally was ready for morning, it was afternoon!  It's tonight now, I'm wondering when this pain will end. I'm still wondering and...........                                                         Evelyn                                                    ...

I'm watching the sunrise this morning. This morning I'm watching the sunrise from a hospital window. (I am in the hospital and have been since Thursday night, 10-30-14) The sunrise this morning is bright, warm. and blinding. This sunrise, and every sunrise, is a gift from God!. This miracle from God tells me the hope for tomorrow is realized in today. A new day is before me. Though, in the hospital, I still hold close to God's promises. I'm holding tight to these promises. I'm holding even tighter to Jesus. I won't let go. Jesus will not let go of me either, ever! Evelyn Pinto November 3, 2014

Many  of you who know me know of my great faith in  God and also know I've accepted Jesus as My Savior  quite some time ago . If there us an opportunity to worship God with others,  I will take all and every opportunity to do so.. This is  whether it be going to the church or church coming to me (coming to the building I live in). My favorite time, now, in church is being with and  teaching the children. Here are some pictures of the children and myself in a worship service.                                                                                                       Evelyn Pinto                            ...

I am home from the hospital. (I was discharged late yesterday). Though I am home, I still have to live and I have to fight to live. My health crisis(es), especially the COPD in me make it difficult to function on a so called "normal range of functioning". I am a fighter though. Know what else I am: "A SURVIVOR!"                               Evelyn Pinto

Dear Friends, My lung disease, I feel is getting progressively worse. Even in these hard times, I go on and move forward.   I have been blessed. I have been blessed with a hospital, and the people who work there, who have treated me and have cared  for me the many times that I have been sick. Mount Auburn Hospital continues to give me treatment and care at a level of superior excellence. I have been blessed with a family who loves me and have been there for me. I have been blessed with the love, companionship and devotion of true, genuine friends. I have been blessed with a church family who have not only accepted me but have modeled the way to a Christian life. I have been blessed with A Savior who promised, even in my difficult times of pain, sickness and trial as well as times of joy, laughter, accomplishments that  He would never, ever leave me. Jesus kept His Promise. Evelyn Pinto November 11, 2014

God Is Good! Life Is Good! I am in the hospital. I have been since Thursday 10-30-14 I am probably going home tomorrow. I have a progressive  lung disease and I feel it is getting worse. In the midst of all this pain and sickness, I had a party! The chaplains at Mount Auburn, Beth Loomis and Mary Harrison gave me a birthday party today. Father Sunday was welcomed by me into the Pastoral Care Dept. at Mount Auburn Hospital  by coming to my party. Mount Auburn Hospital is a place I have been going for my medical treatment and care. It has  been a safe place for me with compassionate, experienced, kind people knowledgeable about my condition(s) and about me. This magical, mystical event was a celebration of 5 years of love, caring, compassion and devotion to me by Beth and Mary and the staff at Mount Auburn Hospital. This awesome time told of my great love and concern for Mary and Beth and for everyone who has given me treatment and care at Mount Auburn Hospi...
