The youth event is a beautifully simple yet powerful way to foster intergenerational connection. It's lovely to hear how your church enables service and participation. Thanks, Patricia, for this uplifting moment/read today.
So beautiful that even in dementia, you can play an important role in your community and in your church. Beautiful story. Can’t wait for your next post.
Your writing is an eagerly awaited treasure, and it always touches my heart deeply. I loved this combination of memoir and devotion, as I enjoyed the glimpse into your past, was reminded of the many definitions of "service," and it's key role in the church. Thank you for blessing us, dear friend, and God bless you both in your journey.
Growing up, my dad always gave each of us sisters a quarter for the Sunday School offering. I never thought about the implications of so many young ones bringing change that would, of course, have to be counted. These days, parents could set up pre-authorized giving or send an e-transfer. But that would take from instilling a habit of giving.
Doug has such a warm heart for serving others. I can easily imagine the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness he brings to his role as Potato Man! And Claire loved finding you two!!
Doug’s choice of shirt to wear for the food bank says so much about his character and personality. Thank you for including that detail.
Thank you for picking up on that detail, Lynda. ❤️

Thank you, Victoria! One of the things that attracted us to this church was its solidly intergenerational congregation. At one time, all churches were
like that. Today, I think it probably helps to have such intentionality. 💕

😭Thank you, Belinda. It encourages and strengthens me deeply to know you care to journey with us. ❤️
This made me cry -dementia is part of the Body of Christ - thanks for telling this so beautifully. Big hug
Thank you, Lorna. Hug received with gratitude. I continue to remember you daily as you walk through this valley of the shadow. 💕
