PSM Update 5-13-11

Happy Friday the 13^th to all.  As I don’t believe in superstition, it is going to be another fantastic day here in the Kingdom.  One reason to celebrate is that God has sent us a new member!  Sheree has joined our group and wait until you meet her – she is amazing!  She is in the process of making a beautiful shawl out of some new yarn recently purchased with donation funds.  I hope you will welcome her into our group when you see her.  I hope you all will also keep praying for God to send more workers into our ministry.  We could definitely use some more as we have room for many more and need for even more than that.  God please expand our ministry with workers, with donations, and with desire to serve those who are in need.  What a blessing this is!  No matter if you crochet, knit, buy yarn, deliver items, or join us in prayer, we treasure your participation in this ministry. 

We had a pile to pray over again this week.  God has been very good to grant us so many blessings.  We are pretty much approaching our minimum and beyond for our Costa Rica mission and still have many to place on the altar rails next Sunday.  With 9 days to go we can even add on more than that.  Yes! The Costa Rica items will be packed up by late June for the initial shipment and if we need to send others, they will be shipped the following month.  Try to make them light weight, open weave patterns to make it easier and less costly to ship as well as to accommodate the warmer weather there.  I am doing most of mine in V stitch, 2 foot wide by 5 foot long rectangles. 

Well, I must run off to high school where I feel like I am going through a second teenager experience.  It was hard enough to be a teenager the first time, but when you live at high school at age 55, it can be pretty ugly…and exhausting.  High school is definitely not for the faint of heart or body!  If you get bored, or need a change of pace, come see the Collins Hill HS Chorus show in the HS theatre at 7pm, tonight and Saturday eve.  You won’t be disappointed! 

Love to all, even when I am overly busy and way too distracted,
