Donna's Story...
"My husband and I were lay leaders in our church. He served in
whatever capacity his talents could be used...music, teaching, writing.
Together we led a Couples Class and shared our lives in Marriage
Encounter. We often reached out to those in need, as a couple.
When his enthusiasm seemed to dim, I tried to be encouraging and
strong. When he started repeating himself, I worried he was having a
stroke and instead found he had an inoperative brain tumor. Four
weeks later, he died and our lives changed forever.
We moved to Colorado, because a job I had recently started would
relocate me and my Elderly parents and my big, loving family live
here. Taking over the head of our house has certainly been a
challenge. Because we were used to reaching out to others, it was
very difficult to be on the receiving end. But I realized, every time I
have to go to Home Depot, I leave in tears because now I
responsible to care for the maintenance on our house. Some
projects have been small and I have had to ask for help with those. I
know I can maintain landscaping, but I cannot get it started, even
though I have tried. "

AFTER...
| “ O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones." Isaiah 54:11& 12 |
A big THANK YOU to our volunteers!
