A Devotion of Thanks
Read
Psalms 23 and 91
On
June 9, 1962, Bud and I transferred our church membership from St.
Mark's to the friendly little Methodist Church in Grosse Pointe. We
have enjoyed being a part of it, and watching it grow, but always
maintaining its friendly and caring ways.
I
have long believed that our Lord works through people, and I know
that a lot of His workers are in our church family. I know this is
true because of the care extended to Bud and me during the past year
and a half.
Nothing
prepares us for what lies ahead in our lives. Certainly Bud and I had
no idea of what was ahead for us health wise. Through it all,
however, we had you, our church family, to hold us up with your help
in so many ways.
First,
there were your prayers and the many phone calls to offer help and
express your concerns. Then there were the visits that cheered us up.
Also, the many cards and letters that we enjoyed, especially the
hand-made one from the Logos kids. Then there was the gift of the
beautiful Prayer Quilt that Pastor Bob delivered to us, and that we
each wrap around ourselves. The delicious dinners and jars of soup
were always enjoyed. We are grateful to the drivers who took us to
our doctor's appointments and hospitals. We also appreciated very
much the loan of a wheelchair that we each needed to use several
times.
Bud
and I are both humbled by your caring and generosity, and proud to be
members of our friendly, little GPUMC. We thank you from the bottom
of our hearts. God bless you all.
