GOD BLESS AMERICA

I made a delivery today!!!!!!!!!!

I delivered 50 bags to the Medical Center of Central Georgia. They were about 5 family's in the heart ICU, and about 12 to 15 families in the other ICU waiting room. Please pray for the ones that are there with their family's. And lets all be careful during this holiday weekend. Everyone is excited about Summer and they get in a hurry and accidents happened. So enjoy yourself but be SAFE!!

prayers for a special family

Please pray for the family of little Olivia. She is a little 6 year old who went to be with the lord yesterday afternoon. Loss is always hard no matter what age but its more difficult when they are are babies such as Olivia.
Please Lord lift her family into your arms today and comfort them through your strength and wisdom. A special prayer goes out to Julie Love a friend who made little Olivia a quilt over the weekend and delivered it to her just hours before she passed. Julie you will be blessed for such acts of kindness that you shared. It was the very first quilt completed and delivered from our Comforting Quilters group what a special gift to have our first quilt going to a remarkable family I just hope it will comfort that family during this time in their life.

God be with us all

God sent me an angel today

What a blessed day. More call came in today from folks wanting to donate and wanting to come help sew. But around 11 or so I got a call from a nice lady that told me she had some material that she would like to donate. We set up a time and about 430 she arrived with her car loaded and I mean loaded. The picture speaks for it self. She even included the plastic containers. Her name is Ms Nancy Hill what a sweet lady she expressed she doesn't normally read the paper that close and some reason she did on the 14th. God is good. We had a nice visit she sits with patients and is down to one day a week. So if anyone knows someone that may be in the market for a sitter or maybe a light house keeper no heavy lifting let me know see if we can pass along the favor... She lives in WR so would like to work between Byron to Perry. She was a blessing to us lets pay her back with some jobs.

delivery

At last weeks workshop we completed 62 bags/ It was a great day me- Karla-Kenneth Micheal-and Glenda all helped. The Macon Telegraph stopped by to do a story on our group. It will come out in today's paper. On Tuesday the 13th I delivered the bags to the hospitals in Macon. Its amazing my car was loaded and after I went around to the folks in the waiting room it only left about a dozen extra for days to come so we need to sew sew sew. I spoke to the Coliseum hospital about maybe doing a workshop at the hospital and getting the employees involved. I can feel we are doing a great service for our community.

Love to all
