Summer Draws to a Close

Well, summer is almost over and that causes a range of emotions in me!  I will really miss the sweet faces of the children who have been attending our card making classes. They are always so much fun and I love watching their creativity, but soon they will be back in school.

 

 

On the other hand, fall is going to be an exciting time!!  We are adding mini-retreats for couples and singles, fishing events, a family day at the LBJ State & National Historic Park, a weekend art class and more to our regular respite weekends and ongoing card classes at Fort Sam Houston.  Say a prayer for all of us who work in this ministry.  We need energy, wisdom, discernment, and health to serve the wounded warriors .  Yahoo!!! Fall here we come!

 
 
 

Cards & a Birthday

Sharon, Dan & Genette

Summer is always slow when it comes to warriors and their families coming to Nebo for a respite weekend. Everyone is vacationing, entertaining visiting family & friends, etc. However, last Saturday Dan and Genette Burgess brought their two daughters out for the day.We also had several "local" women joins us.

Vedena, Sharon & Jackie

Vedena, (from Doss) is one of the local women
that joined us for the day.

Jackie, set aside her designing talent and focused on
providing lunch.  It was wonderful!!

After lunch Gracie, Kaylee & Christopher got acquainted & made bracelets on a loom.

 It's always a blessing having children join us.

 Oh yes, they also made cards with us. In fact they are more experienced & skilled at it than I.   But they are very patient and helpful when I "stumble".
