A Little Relaxation

 Bridgenna and Dexter enjoyed a Christmas gift given to them.

They each picked out a plain mug to paint.

They put a lot of thought into what they would do with the plain white mugs.

Here  are the results.

Can you figure out whose this one is?

So pretty. 

They sure did great. 

February Fellowship Meal at OCC

 So very glad Joy sent me these fun photos from Fellowship Meal time.

What a joyful wonderful looking bunch of people. 

Sony included and loved.

Please remember at this week and month of ❤️ to look for someone who may feel not part of the group or sad or lonely and share your visit a song or a cookie. 

Arnie and Pastor Josue visited my dad,  Walter, when I was away and last evening when I was there with him he told me 3 times about it.  He was so happy.

Even in his sleepy state it meant an awful lot to him as he can't do much on his own right now. 

Alicia Stapleton Benoit came to help him twice a day and accompanied  him for an ambulance ride and visit to KGH one evening.  We appreciate her kind ways so very much and Naomi for providing for Alicia and her children while she took care of Dad.

Everyone shares love and needs love given.

I am thankful for a safe and good trip to Idaho and Washington for my uncle's funeral service.

I was able to see my auntie who is my mum s youngest sister and my cousins.

Also saw some friends which enriched my life.

My friend from grade 3 Trudy Perry Martin made this beautiful afghan for her stepson. 

Their cosy home near Sand Point Idaho.

My dad s brother in law....who was 97 and loved a clean great car and a beautiful yard...similar to my dad and loved ice cream too and family and God. 

My auntie Marion and her 4 grown sons. 

My auntie and me. She reminds me of my mumma.

Business Meeting

 4 pm started the OCC business meeting. 

20 people came out and enjoyed supper together while holding the meeting.

Soup, buns, sandwiches, pizza, oranges and cookies were provided and enjoyed.

It was a very good meeting with lots of reports and responses.

Till next time...

January 27th at OCC

 Bright and early the Sabbath School lesson started.  GQ lead it while about 10 people joined in the lively discussion. More people came as the lesson went along and it was a very nice learning time together.

Mission Spotlight came next.

Then Beverly took some pictures for me as Alison and I had to leave to get my sister from the airport as my dad was very ill.

Thank you for the prayers for Walter. He is still quite weak and sick but is starting to feel better slowly.  It meant alot to have Arnie come to visit him and Shirley and Jody came to see him too and brought juice and gingerale as he is dehydrated and not eating much. So thank you very very much.

Having Alison here till Tuesday and Sandra here for the week has been very helpful and good for Walter.  One aide told Sandra this week that she prayers for my dad every night. 

A PT assistant who came to put a different mattress in Walter's room asked which church I go to. When I told her she said she has come there once before but usually goes to Kelowna church. 

The nurses and aides each take time to encourage  and try to do something to help him feel better.

Sabbath recap.from a distance... praise team + Kim E.  Kids song peace, joy, love... Lea childrens story.. personal adventure on a river with a strong wind and how Jesus uses people to hlp us when we ask Him for help. Pastor J. On Revival, the book of recommended reading for this month.

Thank you very much Beverly for taking these pictures and sending them in. 💜 

 

Something special...Pink fog.  Just for a few minutes the other day some saw pink, purple or blue fog.  For me it was bright through my bedroom window shades and made me go outside for a better look.  I saw pink off my deck.

 

Yesterday at OCC

It is a pretty view.

New Snowdrops blooming...
