God's Miracle in Valerie French

At 47 yrs old Valerie French had 2 massive strokes. She couldn't walk or talk and was bedridden. A lot of prayers went up for her. Valerie wants everyone to know that God works miracles. She couldn't talk but she worked in therapy and started walking. She'd walk and walk. She'd walk a mile a day. Even though she could walk she still couldn't talk very well. She also couldn't write. Every day she'd try to write the alphabet for hours to practice. Her strokes resulted in the non-use of her dominant right hand. She'd have her husband go to the library to get elementary school spelling books to learn to spell words again. She said she lost the ability to do everything. She had to relearn a lot. She didn't even remember the names of her own children. She relearned everything: how to eat, bathe, walk, talk, etc.

"God gave me the strength to keep working and working. I couldn't pray like everybody else. All I could do was moan, but God hears our moans. God heard me. I am so blessed. God told me He won't heal me completely. God wants me to be an example of His power and I try to be. I do what I can for other people. I want to show them God works miracles. I want people to know God still does miracles."

"I accepted the Lord when I was a child in Sunday School. My mother always took us to church. Mom was in the choir and had a beautiful voice. We were in church a lot when we were kids. I moved away from God in my later teen years and when I served in the Marines. My last tour in the Marines I turned back to God. I realized I needed Him. In 1980 I rededicated my life to God on Palm Sunday. I've always followed God ever since."

Valerie has been sewing since age 7 and says she cannot imagine not sewing. She does everything one-handed and has made around 50 masks so far! If you've met Valerie you've noticed she's such a positive person. Valerie, we see God in you and we thank you for sharing with us what God has done in your life.

God's Perfect Timing by Janet Myers

How often have you said to someone “your timing is perfect?” In the last 6 weeks, I have experienced God’s perfect timing. During a dinner conversation at a Wednesday Night Fellowship Supper, a church member, who I will call Lydia, shared a touching story about a special gift she received some time back. While Lydia had every good intention of using this gift, time passed, it only collected dust and took up space. Lydia listened that night as I shared about my love for sewing and how I especially enjoyed applique and creative sewing projects. Several weeks later Lydia approached me with a wonderful surprise! She wanted me to have that special gift that she had spoken about at dinner one night. You guessed it! It's a sewing machine! Not just any sewing machine, but a machine that has all the bells and whistles that a seamstress dreams about! Little did I know that this sewing machine would later be the work horse that has enabled me to sew over 400 face masks for first respo

An Alabaster Jar Matthew 26.6-13

Jesus is about to pay for our sins and restore us to the Father. In the next several weeks there’s a turn towards the cross. Matthew 26 is days before the cross. The setting is Bethany. Jesus and His disciples spent time in Bethany. Several times per year Jerusalem would swell with people because of festivals and events. For example, at Jesus’ birth Jerusalem was full. This is the scene. Jerusalem is packed. Jesus had friends in Bethany, outside of Jerusalem. The home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus was located there. They are in a different house close by for the final preparation for the cross. Luke tells us this is the primary purpose of Jesus’ coming to this world. In Matthew 26 the opening verses are a powerful demonstration of what it means to value Jesus. How do we value Jesus? How do you know what something is worth? We can search online to get a feel for what something is worth. How do you value Jesus? Who is Jesus and what is He worth?
