More Thanks!

Another Friday came and went! Such a busy time! Seraphina and sister Megan, went through more toys and brought over a box...and even put new batteries in whatever needed batteries! James' family left toys and toothbrushes, sorry I missed your drop off, thank you (!), Olwyne did my laundry (!!!), encouragement and affirmations and folded laundry...see how good GOD is? Liz Jones, the servant w/ every task done before I knew it had to be completed, Judy Harris, coordinator/lifesaver, thank you for your emails, phone calls...I hope it's all making sense. Natalie MacCallum for pictures and taking the time to get them posted (Liz for Natalie), Wally McCall for the conversation and interest in UGO4GOD, can't wait to meet you, Dr. Tom McCarthy for a box of much needed gloves, and Kathleen Waltenspiel Cook (!), friend from high school (2 years ago...j/k)...thank you for being the Stonecasters Event Planner! I love how God is using all your gifts, each of you, gifts of mercy, gifts of helps, evangelists, administration, crafts, thank you that "every good and perfect gift comes from above."
I also want to thank EVERYONE who made it to Spa Night! Especially, Eddie Brascia! :)
It wouldn't have been a fun night w/o the Brascia boys crashing the party! For Jessica Adams and her willingness to lead the Mary Kay night and donate commission (!), Kelly Marshall for her donations of Pampered Chef products (come see!), Esther de la Torre for her foot massages and help, Cathy, my new best friend (!), Georgia Simpson and Donna McMorrow who believe in this mission, thank you for contributing (!), Olwyne, for fun & music , Kathleen Waltenspiel Cook for joining in the fun and bringing labels, fliers and love, Lisa Broyles for making it just in time, Dinah Mattos for her generous gift (!), Teri Bennett for cookies and brownies, Jenifer Smallwood & Katie Donaghy for getting the party started and making it fun...and Rudy for allowing a fun girls night! If I forgot to mention your names, you know me, that's something I'm good at. Oh, Heather Brascia, for holding my hand. AGAIN.
Lord, thank you for girlfriends! For fun fellowship, makeup, face scrubs, foot rubs, money to buy and money to give, thank you for laughter, prayers, JOY. And thank you that Katie's makin' me over...in your timing (!)....I lift up these women who spent time together with me and I ask God, that you continue to bless the friendships that are being made. How good it is to have a friend. Thank you God, for meeting us in our home tonight! In your name, AMEN!
