September 23, 2020. 718-747. Madison Volunteer Fire Department. 748. Kalia 749. JN

 Good morning to each one of you.

Last night was a wonderful evening.  

718-747.  Three of the firemen came to accept the quilts that we made for them……..29 of  them.  We had several minutes of prayer for them before they packed them up and took them with them.  What a delight it was but we need to give God the Glory that we were able to do this……it is not about us…….

City of Madison SD Fire Department

 “The West  Center Baptist Church quilting group donated 30 handmade quilts to our volunteer firefighters. From what I have heard, this group has donated over 750 quilts to people in our area. Well done and thank you for the gifts!”

We also prayed for two more …..

for 748.  Kaila who will be 8 in Oct.  Kaila lives on one of the chain of love homes in Brazil…she was adopted but then turned back in to the authorities.  Pray for all of these young children who want to have a Mom and a Dad…

749.  we prayed for another special lady with medical problems.

There are 5 Tuesdays in Sept. so it will be three weeks before we meet again on Oct. 13^th (Jim’s birthday).  If anyone wants to bring a treat let me know.

Thank you ladies for putting up with me.  You continue to do homework which has kept us so we are able to give the quilts when we get a request.  We still have 20 quilts that are completed and several in the making….isn’t that amazing.  With our new source of getting fabric cheaper I can really crack the whip.  I love buying fabric when you can get a good deal.

Continue to pray for each other.  I talked to Shonda and Joy is doing fair.  Pray for the Schuberts as they continue to not feel well and have 2 foster  children to care for. Pray for our country as the election draw closer.

May you CHOOSE JOY on this another wonderful fall day.

Love, Joyce

Glorifying God means being occupied with and committed to His ways rather than preoccupied with and determined to go my own way.  It is being so thrilled with Him, so devoted to Him, so committed to Him that we cannot get enough of Him.  (Chuck Swindoll from his book Rise & Shine)

Good morning ladies on a cool fall day but it is going to get warmer.  My flannel shirt feels so good today.

We had a good night last night.  We got the ties tied and the 29 quilts all ready for the firemen……….we prayed for two

716. Dawn B. who has many health problems plus a nephew and a granddaughter dying…

717. Emily, Amy Brown’s cousin, who has breast cancer.

We enjoyed fellowship together and good food……a lemon dessert made by Karen….thanks Karen.

Our next quilt night is Sept. 22^nd.  The firemen are coming that  night to receive their quilts.  I hope that many of you can come and so we can show our appreciation to these men who give much of their time to our community.

Keep warm and see you on the 22^nd.

Love, Joyce

     But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.  O my Strength, I sing praise to you;, O God, you are my fortress, my loving God.  Psalm 59:16-17
