Party Party!
I've been wanting to blog about my sunday school party I had at my house. The ladies in my class are the absolute best! Each one loves the Lord soooo much and are so compassionate, caring and kind. As a class we minister in alot of different areas in our church and in our town. One of the things that I am very proud of is our Empty Arms Ministry. We make baskets as gifts to give to Mother's who have lost babies or children, or miscarried. The baskets are full of little thinking of you items plus a book on dealing with grief of losing a child plus a letter from our pastor. Most of the baskets are left at funeral homes to be given to the mom. If we know them personally we deliver ourselves and we have mailed quite a few. Normally we do not have contact with the families, it's a gesture to let them know someone cares. If they contact us afterwards, then we can follow up. We have received the sweetest heartfelt thank you notes from them. This time we just relaxed and ate, we had salads and deserts and lots of laughter. These ladies are a real hoot! It's really fun to spend time with girls that love the Lord!!
