Thank you

Thank you to all who came caroling!  What a blessing to those who heard you and got to visit with you.  Thank you for spreading some joy during this Christmas season!   The kids had a wonderful time handing out treats and homemade Christmas cards!  Thank you to those who brought treats, prepared music, prepared & cleaned up food.  Thank you also to the children's church volunteers and kids that helped make 160 (yes, 160!) Christmas cards to share w/all the residents.  The cards were beautiful and the residents really enjoyed receiving the fancy art work. 

Merry Christmas!

Prayer For Faith's Mom

My mom (Darlene) and dad (Dean) are in Florida right now.  Two days ago my mom had a fall which left her with severely bruised ribs.  Movement of any kind and breathing is extremely  painful for her - but she needs to breathe fully and deeply to ensure that pneumonia doesn't set in.  My heart is very heavy for her, especially since she is so far away and I can't tend to her myself.  My mom also has MS which poses it's own struggles.  Please pray for her - For rest, comfort, and healing.

 

Thanks :)  Faith
