What a wonderful busy night we had……..I praise God for each one of you.
We gave number 1000 quilt to Shan Reed. We gave her number 1 back in 2008 when we started this ministry……..never dreamed of getting to 1000!
God has blest our ministry with each one of you and donations to keep our ministry going. We have used around 5000 yards of fabric and around 1750 yards of batting…..and plus that we have thread, rotary cutter blades, thread for ties, labels, and much postage. I did a round figure on cost and came up with around $40,000……..so we did well for a bunch of fun loving, giving, and full of joy ladies. May God continue to bless our ministry……may we be humble. It has been a God thing. He has been with us every step of the way.
As we began our next thousand quilts we gave
1001. to Devonte Garcia who had leg surgery……
1003. for Troy who has struggled the last 5 years after losing his wife and needing to lose much weight to have hip surgery.
Our next big step is giving to Valiant Living. We need 120 quilts for them. It sounds like a big jump but we already have 20 ready and marked so we are on our way.
Thanks Holly for the wonderful dessert and Noah for taking pictures.
Remember each day to CHOOSE JOY.
Love, Joyce
Always remember you are braver than you know, stronger than you seem,
smarter than you think, and loved more than you know.
