The day after Mary's surgery, Molly and Emily were going to help Marlene and Anne as they all together helped Yvonne (far right) and her sister, Linda (in the wheelchair.)
I stayed home to care for Mary who was recovering.
We know Linda through the Special Ministries program at church.
Both Anne and Marlene are known for impacting the lives of others in the best of ways. They planned this project.
Well....Em and Molly went to Yvonne's house (where Linda lived) to help bag pine cones and pick up sticks.
I heard it was quite a task -- as in Anne even brought over a 12 year old boy and his teenage brother as they realized how much work was needed to be done.
They started their together time with a devotional at Anne's before heading to Yvonne's.
It is June.
In the Deep South.
Hot.
Humid.
Dare I say - sweltering.
But this passel of girls, women, and boys got the job done.
They showed love in action to these 2 sisters.
They were encouragers.
Yvonne has been the care giver for Linda - who is a special needs adult.
I think Yvonne - herself - may have a form of MS, AND her husband has been in the hospital critically ill.
I'm so proud my daughters could be a part of a team like this - last week
Because
Linda went home to heaven a few days later.
Oh my.
What an honor for the group to serve this dear soul mere days before she met Jesus face to face.
She's whole.
Healed.
And we are so blessed to have known her on this side of heaven.
Thanks Marlene and Anne.
Thank you precious Emily and Molly.
Thank you for giving of yourselves to some of God's most prized possessions
