I made a delivery today!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys
At the last workshop we completed about 20 completed bags. This morning I completed 10 more. I made a delivery to the medical Center I first went to the 4th floor heart ICU to my surprise it was an empty room I never seen that in all my years I left 15 bags. I then went to the 2nd floor ICU and boy was it packed I went around and gave one bag to each family I started with 15 and ended with 2. I had a chance to visit with the patients rep. Tonya as we visited I noticed a little girl around 6 yrs old I had given her mother a bag the child was pulling out and examining all the contents of the bag when she came across the tooth brush and tooth paste she got up and headed straight to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. What a nice feeling god allowed me to stay behind and visit so I could see the rewards of our work.

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 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.

The Passing of a friend
I'm sadden to write this blog. A friend Tim Dupree was killed in a car accident on Easter Sunday afternoon. Tim was a kind and gracious man. He did so much for our community, he will be truly missed. Some of you may not know this but he worked for the company that we get bags from as backup to our homemade ones. The first order that we got Mr Dupree would not let us pay for he stated that he believed in this ministry and wanted to purchase them for us. I was so touched by this.
I love you Mr Tim and you are truly missed!!

What a fabulous day the weather was perfect We were at the Depot and had all the doors open sewing and enjoying the breeze. We were making baby blankets for the Baskets of Joy ministry. We completed 43. We also completed and packed 27 ICU bags that I will deliver tomorrow to the Houston Heath Care Hospital. Thanks goes out to Glenda Myers, Karla and Kenneth Micheal Chidester for all their hard work. What a blessed day that will continue to bless the ones that receive one of these bags, and the baby's that get the blankets.

A letter from Baskets of Joy
January 22, 2010
Dear Para Vinson , Byron Bobbins ICU Ministry;
Our baskets of joy project began fourteen years ago when we learned many of the children who were living in local children Home did not receive Easter baskets. Over the years our project has grown to include Georgia Industrial Children Home, Hephzibah Children Home, Masonic Children Home, The Elizabeth House, The Dove Center and some local foster homes. With the help of family, friends, and churches, organizations and businesses along with lots of prayer, we have provided over 1,725 children with Easter baskets.
Having grown up in a children home and knowing the feeling of not being able to experience some of the joys other people experience has made this project very closes to our hearts.
Each basket will contain a small bible, a stuffed animal, a chocolate bunny, small gifts, candy and treats. Most of all, each basket will show a child someone cares about them.
We are requesting your help in making our project a success by donating baby blankets. Baskets of Joy is affiliated with Kids Yule Love and can provide a tax ID number upon request.
Your kindness and generosity in making the difference in the life of a child will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to hearing from you before March 8th. You may contact Katie at 578-836-5413.
Thank you
Clay and Katie Jones

A letter fom Ms Claudia Johnson's
We received a letter from a lady who received a ICU survival kit. She stated that her mom was in ICU for 5 weeks her and her family lived out of town and someone stayed there at the hospital 24/7. The kits were much appreciated she wrote. But the most important thing were that the bags were filled with prayers meant the most to this family. Our work is so important and will continue as long as I'm breathing. God is good.
Prayers to all
