The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Her Life Speaks Love

I know a woman
who touches my heart
like no other has done.
She gives and thrives on
giving way beyond
the need of others.
It's her love of God
and love for others
that motivate her.
No need seems too great
for her attention
and desire to help.
It's not just for need
that she gives and does
with no thought of self.
Where there is no need
she finds a reason
to give anyway.
Her name is well-known
as the one who gives
so generously.
It's because of love
that her heart desires
to give to others.
There is no other
one that walks this earth
who touches my heart so.
Her name is Marilyn
and her life reflects
God at work in her.

Happy Birthday, Marilyn!
You are loved by me
 and many others.

You are truly a blessing
to all whose lives you touch!

We are so glad to have you
 in our family!

Thank you, with all my heart,
 for your love and kindness.
Jeannie
