Miss Laura Joiner called.  She is using a wheelchair in her home and will soon be able to do her job with the Council of Aging from her home.  Miss Laura likes it when she can talk to people on the phone.  I hope you will call and encourage her while she is homebound.  Her next appointment is June 4th.

Have a great day!  We have rain this morning.  It is coming out of the hose pipe and providing nourishment to the flowers and the plants in the garden.  I’m thankful for a good supply of water to help when plants are dry.  I’m also thankful for the one who is holding the hose in the dark this morning.

Thank-you, God, for allowing my family and my church to cross paths with this awesome family.
