Good morning ladies.

We had a great scrambled up night…but we got much done. 

We did quilts for  

1488.Kevin L. dealing with physical problems

                                                                             

1489.Carson Vennell who graduated from high school

 

 

1490. LaVonne Hass who had her 100th Birthday

 

We enjoyed treats made by Joanna….thanks so much. 

We are not going to meet again until July 8th.  We just need to give 9 more quilts and we will reach 1500 so on July 8th we hope to have 9 names.  We are just going to pray for these people.  We are not going to do other work……this will be sort of a celebration of reaching a new goal…bring an Hors d’oeuvre  (treat) to share.  We will enjoy our time of prayer and fellowship together. 

 These special times of working and fellowshipping together is so special. Pray for each other. 

  

CHOOSE JOY. 

Love, Joyce 

When you feel like frowning, SMILE.

Love never fails.  

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; 

but the greatest of these is love.

There were only six of us last night but we got lots done.

We gave and prayed for quilts for 

1454.Bob (Rapid City) dealing with prostate cancer.

                                         

1455.Jeff who has leukemia….

1456.Lauren & Kevin (Texas)… 

                                           

 

1457.Lauren dealing with cancer …

1458.Sharon (Virginia) who has aggressive breast cancer…. 

1459.Sara (Brookings) dealing with many medical problems 

1460.Patty & Bill (Idaho)…both dealing with cancer.   

So much pain and sadness.  Don’t forget our goal of praying for them and for each other.

Pray for Mary and Ann as they travel….give them safety.

Our next work night is April 22nd.   We will be giving quilts to our high school seniors that night so we need help.  Would a couple of you like to bring cookies or bars so we have a treat????

On Sun. night April 27th we will be giving quilts to the college seniors before we serve them their meal.

As we draw near to Easter may we remember the true meaning…..it is not about the bunnies and easter eggs….it is all about Jesus who died to save us from our sins on Good Friday and hallelujah he rose again on Easter.

Choose Joy each day.

Love, Joyce
