An inspirational story of abuse, loss, love, and the greatest of all gifts, nearly a quarter of a century of service.
Read how she overcame obstacles under insurmountable adversity, yet always protected and guided by God’s grace.
In this motivational masterpiece and instant classic, Sylvia Anthony, a prominent servant, creates a rich emotional and personal journey of transformation from an abused child, saved by the love of her grandparents, uncles and cousins, to the loss at age 5 of her 18 year old favorite uncle, who drowned, and grand uncle who died of cancer. During that same year the younger half, all of the unmarried children, of her mother’s family were transported by their parents to California. She lost the presence of two uncles and 3 aunts. The aunts were very close to Sylvia’s age, one four years older, one two years older and the youngest 3 months younger than Sylvia. These were her play mates. This devastated a little 5 year old girl, leaving her extremely lost and lonely.
It shows how God pulls her from this experience and courageously continues, Although she was made to believe she could do nothing, went on to marry, raised three children and at 57 began her service of sheltering homeless women and children.
Her life from child to adult and to senior citizen, prove unmistakably, that life can be lived victoriously at any age. She has helped change the lives of 1061 women and children since she began, an now at the age of 82 still continues. Which proves, conclusively, that life does not end at 62 or 65, but can be just the beginning of a long and fruitful life.
This story can prove that to retire from life is to stagnate and have no reason to live. To find a new meaning in life is what gives you life. This is a story that will forever change your life.
