A shout out to Willie and other blessings.

Hello friends.

I must say that I am spoiled by having the best job in the world. It can be so incredibly hard but it is so incredibly wonderful.

What a joy to report to you that the Co-op continues to be blessed daily.

New friends -

Willie - I was struggling to carry "stuff" inside yesterday. Willie saw me and jumped out of his car to help. He is a first time visitor to the Co-op. What a blessing he was to me. Thank you Willie. You are a true gentleman. May God keep you covered with His wings as you walk through these difficult days. The Co-op is here for you. Please come again.

Becky and Heather - Two women on a mission!! Two women who have discovered their true calling. And they rock! Becky started 5-2 Ministry and Heather started Clipping for a Cause. Wow! These coupon clipping warriors have blessed the Co-op in a big way.

Sixteen folks who attended the February volunteer orientation. Yes!! Thank you Lord.

Old (or shall I say familiar friends) -

Linda, Director of the Lawrenceville Co-op. A constant source of support and encouragement.

Matt, our awesome landlord/preacher man/ do anything for the Co-op guy. We are blessed.

Tatiyana and Irena - my sweet friends from St. Petersburg, Russia. (most beautiful city in the world) Irena brings Tatiyana each month for food assistance. Irena teaches me Russian words and says that I am a natural talent in speaking Russian. Who knew?!

Marlene, our Assistant Director. All I can say is that everyone needs a Marlene in their life.

What a joy it is to Count Your Many Blessings!

Grace and Peace to you all.

Just not the same....

Ms. Dorothy is not here today. Friday was her last day. She has been a longtime volunteer at the Co-op. When I first started in this position, Ms. Dorothy worked with our clothing mission. A huge job. When we decided to eliminate the clothing due to a lack of space, Ms. Dorothy reinvented herself. She became our greeter. Ms. Dorothy always welcomed folks with a smile and helped them to log in at the front desk. We will miss her terribly, but we all know that the Lord has plans for her in her new home.

"The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Numbers 6:24-26
