Good morning ladies on a beautiful summer morning.

We had a small group last night but it was good.  Thanks Joanna for coming to help us.  Come back again.  Joanna is Holly’s 5 year old daughter.  Only had Karen running a sewing machine.

We prayed for 5 quilts….

591. for our own Ann who is recovering from surgery….

592. for Rene’ and Bill Brunner….Rene’ is limping around with a big foot and for their retirement….

593. for Adam & Amy Hutchinson…Adam is John Barcanic’s brother-in-law…Adam is at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls suffering from Brain cancer…he is a young dad and husband…..
Message from Kathy Barcanic:  Karen, I just received this message from Amy and wanted to pass this along to the ladies that do the prayer quilts. You are such a blessing to so many people, thank you!            “I wanted to let you guys know we got a package here at the hospitality house today. I opened it up and found a lap-sized quilt from the Prayer Quilt group at West Center Baptist Church. It made me cry. One more person (or group of people) praying for us and caring for us who don't even know us.”

594.  For Matt & Kelsey Stone…praying for them in what direction their life will lead them….

                                        

595. for  little Titus (almost 2)  who will be having some brain surgery…..he is the son of Joel’s cousin…..they are expecting their second child.
                                         

Thanks Holly for the delicious cookies……and I did not have one for breakfast.

Pray for Ann as she continues to heal, for Mary K. as she helps Andy move into another place in Texas, for Mary H. as she packs to leave her present home, for Maria’s little grandson as he grows stronger, and for Nikki as she prepares to teach at the high school.  We all have joys and needs.  May we pray for each other that our group may continue to be a mission to bring joy to people that need a smile.

You are all my special JOY.

Good morning ladies,

We had another good and busy night last night.  We prayed for several people.  We prayed for Amy who was giving her testimony at the women’s potluck, for Sally Bates who is having a hard time adjusting to her new home in the nursing home in Arlington,  and for Ann who is having a hysterectomy on Monday.  Continue to pray for each of these special ladies.

We did quilts for 
586.  Becky…my daughter’s church friend who has breast cancer…Becky is a single mom with two boys…she was raised by her grandparents who have died….

587. Dave Skoglund from Sun Prairie….Dave is a around 70 year old farmer who had a very serious farm accident……

588.  Maria’s little grandson, Adrian,…who had surgery for burst appendix…..

589. William…my grandson’s father in law who is dealing with Parkinson’s…….

590.  Dan….Holly’s cousins father in law who was in a very serious biking accident.   

Continue to lift these special people up in prayer.

Take a minute to drop Sally Bates a card.  She is unhappy and lonesome……Arlington Care) Center, 120 Care Center Rd., Arlington, SD 57212.

Thanks Holly for the delicious rhubarb dessert and it really was good for breakfast too.

Thanks ladies for your faithfulness.  We can’t touch everyone but we can do our little bit one bit at a time.

Always remember every part of making a quilt is important so that miakes each one of you important.

Love you all,

Joyce

May you always have work for your hands to do.

May your pockets hold always a coin or two.

May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.

May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend always be near you.

And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
