 Last night was our last quilt work night of 2022 and it started out really slow but as the night progressed you ladies showed up and the goal of the night was met.  We had a rack of quilts to pin and a big pile to put ties in…….then we prayed for six… 

1042. Keith and Peggy Bundy mourning the loss of their son Louis….

1043. Addie, a five year old who has been sick with pneumonia and scarlet fever…

1044. Brad, a friend of my son Tom, dealing with the death of his mother…

1045. Rhonda (Joyce’s niece) & Eric mourning the loss of both Eric’s parents in the last couple months…..

1046. Dean (Sonya T. brother-in-law) who has had a stroke….

                            Mary Van Der Werf: “My sister came into town for Thanksgiving and she came with a                             special delivery for Dean. Ladies from her church in Madison, SD made him a quilt and prayed for him as they tied it. So thankful for those who care so much from afar and pray for us. BTW they made sure to incorporate orange into the quilt for Dean’s Reese’s cap.”

1047. Jim (Marian’s nieces’s husband) who will be having open heart surgery at Mayo in January.  

Continue to pray for Mike, Ann’s husband, as he heals from heart surgery.

God has blessed us so much with this ministry….so far in 2022 we have prayed and have given quilts to 141 individuals and couples.  With God’s blessing may we continue in 2023.  Remember it is not about the quilts or us but the prayers.

Dec. 10^th at around 11 is our Christmas brunch.  Bring a special treat.  Remember to bring items that we can give to Domestic Violence.

Remember to thank God for our many blessings.

CHOOSE JOY

Love and thanks,

Joyce

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Gratitude can transform

Common days into thanksgivings,

Turn routine jobs into joy,

And change ordinary

Opportunities into blessings
