Thank You!
My Dear Glendale Family,
This is a combination thank you/love letter and hopefully I will be able to fully express my gratitude for each of you individually and collectively.
I chose not to name you for a variety of reasons, but mostly for fear of inadvertently leaving someone out - I know you understand.
I am writing this Sunday morning after listening to Pastor’s sermon on being called - and to say I understand we can be called for a season - in sickness or in health. Being on the receiving end of so many of your gifts has been a mixed blessing. I am so grateful that so many of you heard the Lord’s admonishment to minister to our household.
So many cards and sentiments of well wishes. So many calls - to hear your voices and pass the time. So much food - so delicious and a special thank you to those who offered and were turned down and did not get offended. We literally have a freezer and refrigerator well stocked.
The visits and the smiles and the care that came with them.
The gifts - some bought, some homemade - each to be treasured in the days to come.
Those who shopped for me so I could gift my family at Christmas and my resident gardener (she knows who she is).
The live streamed video of the church services and those who enabled them - you can’t know how meaningful they are until you need them. Also to those who had the vision and knowledge years ago to gift the church with the ability to reach out.
I will mention Jim our sweet organist whose music lifted my soul and filled my Sunday mornings.
I’ll sign off now praying that I have touched everyone of you with my gratitude and His Blessings.
Your humble sister in Christ - Carol
