Yesterday I went to the funeral of Debbie Bickings' mother. I sat in on a conversation between Bev Hickam and Debbie as they talked about cleaning out the apartment her mother had at the Lutheran Home. Bev told Debbie she could leave all the clothes there; she said that there were many people there who only received enough money to pay for their care and that St. Andrew's Lutheran had three people who went over and sewed sweaters, etc. to keep them from being threadbare.
I have been upset all night and this morning I laid out all kinds of clothes for Debbie to pick up to distribute where it is needed. I included the dress I wore for Colin's wedding; I never really liked it and someone may need a holiday dress at the Lutheran Home. I will do a better job in cleaning closets and I won't forget those people who are wearing re-sewn clothing for want of something new.
Opportunities are everywhere around us.
Just take the rug off your head and open your eyes! And that means me, too! Above all!
