Good morning ladies on a beautiful sunny spring day.  The grass is green and the flowers are popping out of the ground.  God is good.

 We were a smaller group last night but it was very good.  I just cracked the whip harder.  We did quilts for

566.  Dallas and Sharon Tonsager, brother of Doug Tonsager…Dallas is dealing with lung and liver cancer

Pray for Marie DeBoer as she settles in to her new home at Edgewood Vista Assisted Living, Room 118B, 3409 East 5^th St., Sioux Falls, SD 57103.  Pray for Mary K. and Ann as they are on vacation…..safety in miles.

Good morning ladies…….we have winter again but we hope it will pass soon.

(Winter storm Wesley)

Last night we had a good and busy night.  We prayed for

559. Paul & Melissa Ewing…..they are missionaries in Japan that we support….Paul had a pace maker put in while in the US but got high fever and infection when he returned to Japan….they removed the pace maker and will put another one in later this month……Paul remains in the hospital until they do the surgery of putting in the pace maker…..

560.   Dede…Amy Meehan’s friend…Dede is going through radiation treatments after some breast cancer……

 561.   for Carissa Lewis sister Sarena who has stage 4 Ewings sarcoma cancer…..Sarena is a young Mom with three children….

562.   Rev. Joel Kim…..the President of Westminster Seminary in San Diego……He spoke at church on Sunday.

Sometimes things happen in our lives that at first you wonder why it happened and then  you start to think…God does not make mistakes.  He allows things to happen for our good and to get us off our duff.  After some hours of laying in bed and wondering what can we do in this community to make a difference right now…..not two years down the line.  ……..Well here goes we are going to make quilts for each of the men in the police and sheriff departments first.  I really think God wants us to push ourselves into caring for people outside of our church…….so how can we make a difference……so here goes I will continue to crack the whip harder.   This is just a start of what we can do.

Ladies you are the best.  Thanks for putting up with me and my ideas.  Remember it is not about us it is all about how God blesses us.

Love you all, Joyce

       Knowing Jesus is the greatest gift we can receive;

            Sharing Him is the greatest gift we can give.

555.  Brett Moser and his 4 daughters….his wife is in prison 

556.  Barb….Jeremy Peter's sister…..her husband has suffered long with cancer

557.  Jeremy and 

558.  Jackson White…close friends of Stephanie’s….their father died when garbage truck went into the river.

Thank you to each one of you for making this mission possible.  It takes many hands.

Our next work night will be April 9^th.  Does anyone want to make a treat?

Know that each one of you is special to me.
