How can we Help???

I get this question a lot, so lets brainstorm together......

Pray, pray, pray....Our Father who art in Heaven...Thy Will Be Done....give us our daily bread....forgive our debts!

Praise, praise, praise....Thank the Lord for showing Himself to us through Jeanine...she praises Him at every opportunity!

Share good news...help Jeanine stay in touch by bringing her bits of "the outside world". She was so glad to hear about Sarah and Kevin's baby boy. She said "God is so good!"

Remember Dick....he will NEVER ask for anything. We have to just make offers...show up....I was in the room one day when Duane stopped in and said "Will you come to lunch with me?" And Dick did and he enjoyed it so much. Today Herb and I stopped in and I sat with Jeanine while Dick and Herb went to the cafeteria for a while. Dick will tell you if he doesn't want to do something....but he is an "iron man" when it comes to expressing needs. (By the way...Jeanine wants some distractions for Dick. She says they are "getting on each others nerves a little bit" :) Who wouldn't be, right??

Would someone like to start a posterboard card for her so that she can see who all has come by? Someone a bit more creative than moi? Or...if she is going to be hospitalized for a while we could decorate her room a bit. She can have flowers now....also balloons, streamers, etc make a room look great.

One other thing....Jeanine has not had income for a couple of months. Hopefully she will soon start getting some long term disability payments. Meanwhile, the fund is still open through Highland and every little bit helps at a time like this. I believe the fund is pretty well depleted. A few folks have faithfully contributed periodically and many others made one time donations. Just wanted to let you know that the fund is still available.

And now for YOUR ideas.....
