 Good morning friends.

Last night we were a small group but it turned out to be a night we will not forget.  A night with many tears and joy upholding a family who is facing the future with many unknowns.  Tim and Jen Schut and Tim’s mother Pam joined us for the evening.  Tim has a very rare disease of the brain (PPAOS; primary progressive apraxia of speech) that will leave him speechless and with a short life.  God blessed us with their presence while they told us what they are facing and how they are facing each day.  

925&926. We did a quilt for Tim and Jen and also for Pam……

                       

                                          

927.we also did quilts for Keith Nelson who is facing some medical problems….

928.for Dave & Laura Johnson….Dave had a brain aneurism and is in a coma in a Sioux Falls Hospital…..

929.for the Moore family…..one of the Moore boys is a good friend of my granddaughter Lauren…..their Dad committed suicide last week.  

930. for Pastor James and Dorothy Christopherson….James fell and broke his hip and shoulder.  James and Dorothy are  Mary Hunter’s parents.  They have been living in an assisted living facility in Sioux Falls.

931. Benedetta is a foreign exchange student from Italy who is attending MHS this school year and living with the DeBerrys.  She discovered she has a brain tumor and will be returning home to begin treatments.

Continue to remember these very special people in prayer……also pray for our quilt ladies who are sick.  Pray for our ministry as we reach out in prayer to many people…….may we continue to give of our time and of our love.

Next quilt night is February 8^th.

Thanks Marian for the treats.

May we CHOOSE JOY through the tears and laughter of each day.

Love, Joyce
