Getting the Word Out

One of the difficulties of a physical move

or a ministry change is finding a place again.

Since I do not work outside of the home,

I rely on ministry and personal contacts to keep me busy.

Many people feel that if they ask for help, they will be a burden,

so I have to "get the word out" that helping is my job!

While I plan to continue local visits to folks and writing encouragement cards,

I am excited that I am starting to find outside ministries again.

I have the opportunity to help a young mother this week by watching her children.

I have the opportunity to help at a print shop field trip next week.

I am going to start what has become an annual event of painting again - 

it seems that I rotate between church or home each year.

I don't know how long each ministry will last,

but I will try to be grateful for each one.
