Vera May 2013

Vera is Gloria's sister.  She is in Mitchell doing Rehab and  recovering from a stroke.   We pray for healing from the stroke and a broken foot, and that she can return to a functioning level.  We also prayed for her husband, and for Gloria who helps take care of her and visits whenever she can.

Tori May 2013

Tori is Sandy M's friend from Dell Rapids.  She has recently had surgery for double mastectomy.  We
prayed for her physical and spiritual health and for healing.  We also prayed for her family; she has 3 sons.

A note from Joyce: Ordinary People

I found this lyric from a song in a book that I am reading.  I thought it fit our group so very much.  We have a ministry and it takes just ordinary people like us to make the quilts.  Every step in making the quilts is necessary and important from cutting out, sewing, pressing, pinning together the layers, putting in ties, sewing the binding, and praying.   Oh and I forgot Amy even straightening the pins.  Everyone is important and needed.

     Ordinary People

Just ordinary people,

God uses ordinary people.

He chooses people just like me and you

Who are willing to do as He commands.

God uses people that will give Him all,

No matter how small your all may seem to you;

Because little becomes much as you place it in

      The Master’s hand.

Oh, just like that little lad

Who gave Jesus all he had;

How the multitude was fed

With the fish and the loaves of bread.

What you have may not seem much,

But when you yield it to the touch

Of the Master’s loving hand, yes,

Then you’ll understand how your life could

    Never be the same.

I just wanted each one of you to know how important you are.

God bless and give you a good week.

Love, Joyce
