Dear Loved Ones,
God bless you, yours and your ministries this week!
Our strawberry patch has been coming on like gangbusters for the past couple of weeks. Roger and I like to go out together to pick and it feels so right. Making freezer jam together for Father's Day is a ritual for us as a couple.
When we were newly weds and I did it for the first time, he remarked, "This jam is even better than my grandmother's!" (Wise words!) The next year when I did it, he sat down at the kitchen table, looked at the rows of jam with admiration and exuded, "I feel like I do on payday!" (Even wiser words!) You can see how it became a tradition.
I love going through the seasons with my loved ones, practicing our seasonal rituals which bring us even closer together. Life is awesome!
Love, Sue

New Job
Dear Loved Ones,
God bless you, yours and your ministries today!
I'm sorry for neglecting you all lately, but everything I've done lately, I've done lately.
The reason is because I am getting used to a new job after being a full time artist for 6 years. The good news is I have a pay check. The bad news is I have less time to paint.
The job is working at Sensations Memory Care Residence as an Activities Director. The people and the work are wonderful. I can honestly say that I love my job.
My stepson, Rob, owns the business so he is my boss, but really God is my boss. I try to do everything I do to please God. When I am comforting a resident I am comforting Christ.
I live for the smiles that the residents give. I love helping a person make something and then see them smile at it with intense pleasure. There is nothing like it.
Many of the residents are in need of guidance to find their way around the facility. Their non verbal responses to the love I offer to them is very gratifying. They eat up the least little amount of affection and kindness.
Yesterday we constructed birdhouses and decorated them. One woman absolutely fell in love with hers.
This feels right for this time in my life. I still paint at least one day a week and hope for the day when I can easily afford to do it full time again.
Love, Sue
