FRIENDS…What Would You Do Without Them?
You never really know how many friends you have until something happens in your life and they all begin to gather around you to help. With my recent accident, I was hospitalized and then sent home to re-coup and truthfully I’m not the most patient patient in the world! I wanted the recouperation part of this whole ordeal to last a couple of days and then me be back up and around to my “ole” self. Well, that isn’t happening but slowly and surely I am making headway. Through all this time of slow recouperation God has used many many people to minister to our needs. The cards (and you know I LOVE cards and mail!) have been a blessing and touched us. The gifts such as helmets -(why would I need those?), monetary gifts, calls, visits and ect have really blessed us – not the size or amount but just to know someone cares and is thinking of you means MUCH. And then there is the food!!!! I’ve always said “if you live in the south one thing is for sure – every ailment, disease, problem and need can be cured with good southern food“! So many of you have been gracious to bring/send us some great food! Thanks!! One group of people who have really taken on this task seriously is the “Meals On Wheels” ministry from our sponsor church, Shiloh Baptist Church. THESE LADIES CAN COOK!!! We were totally surprised when they decided to bring us meals for the past two weeks to “help out”. Boy – did it help out!! Not only was the food great but getting to meet so many from our sponsor church was good for us too. Thanks Shiloh and to EVERYONE for anything you might have done to make this time easier. It’s our prayer that God will bless you for blessing others. Ministry is touching the lives of others – and we’ve certainly been ministered to! Keep praying for us and before long i’ll be back at full speed. Sure wish it would hurry!! Have a great one and thanks again — Pastor James
