June 14 2023 1153.Tim. 1154-1166.Chain of Love.

 Good morning dear friends.  The sun is shining and we are ready to live this day for the best.  God is good.

Last night we did a quilt 

1153.for Tim who is dealing with cancer.  


1154-1166.We bagged and prayed for 12 quilts that Holly is taking to Chain of Love in July.  These quilts will be given to the house parents of the children.  Remember Holly and her family as they make this journey.  It is such a great mission…..making homes for many homeless children in Brazil.






They really liked them! It's chilly here and there's no heat in the buildings so several of the ladies were using them during our time together!”


“I gave the quilt to the boy our family sponsors, John, and he loved it! He said he will use it tonight!”  -Holly 



Last Thursday afternoon, June 8th, was a great afternoon as eight of us went to Valiant Living to help distribute 80 quilts to their clients.  God blesses our group in so many ways……it gives us new eyes into the lives of people with disabilities.   They are so special.  Each person is different so it was so fun to watch them and their leaders pick out what they liked.





Remember each one of you is special and what ever part you have in this ministry is important.  We are all different and have different gifts.

Our next work night is June 27th.  Thank you Karen for the treats.

CHOOSE JOY

Love, Joyce

Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down,

shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. 

For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
