Coronavirus Heroes
There is such a huge need as far as the shut-ins. People who cannot leave their homes because of quarantine or weakened immune systems are at the mercy of others. We decided that if our mommas were stuck somewhere away from us, we would hope and pray that someone would come along to help them through this difficult time. This is where the Lord is leading us now. There is a gap that needs to be filled. We have also been calling everyone in our database and praying with them and seeing if they need anything. This is how we found out Wayne was much better at keeping up with the database than we are. He was always updating phone numbers and addresses. We have many people in our database without a current phone number. We will look into updating after the busyness passes. If you are struggling, we believe in taking care of our own. Please call our office and leave a message. We don’t want anyone to be suffering through this time. We are blessed with a huge food pantry in Norfolk and we are happy to help. Call 757-498-4700 if you are personally struggling.

Helping Widows!
Everyone knows we love helping widows. Our ministry had an opportunity this last month to help repair a fence. Even Vernon with stage 4 pancreatic cancer got in on the action as he and Steve helped put things in order for one of our special widows.
Happy Mother’s Day
This is not always a happy time for mothers or children. In this ministry we see many situations where mothers are apart from their children. We have mothers in jail or prison and some that have just walked away from responsibility. Some of the women have turned to drugs. We also have some mothers that have children in jail or prison. This could be a time of grieving over what could have been. There could be mothers struggling to find forgiveness for abortion. Please keep this in mind while loving on people this month. If it is in your ability to offer the kindness and love to someone struggling, by all means, please do so. There is no condemnation in Christ. There is also no shame in a comeback. Sometimes we can be the helping hand of compassion to help someone heal from some of these devastating things. I know when I had a hard time getting over my past and all I could do was remember the bad things, God sent someone. A kind lady told me “That is not who you are anymore.” I couldn’t seem to see myself as forgiven and loved by God. It took hearing it from someone else to make it real to me. Let’s reach out and let people know that Jesus loves them, no matter what they may have done in the past.
