The Kitchen Table The kitchen table is covered well to protect its top from harm, the family, friends and food around are happy, safe and warm. Mom creates the odors there that draw us from our coves, to harbor in that happy place where laughter comes in droves. My children come, my brothers too, as noises reach a crest, and Dad repeats a blessing known to all who love it best. My hands and arms caress each one and pass…

Thank You Dear Lakeview members,Thank you so much for your lovely, thoughtful cards and “Inspirational Book”.God Bless Each and Everyone. Sincerely, Anna Albert I want to thank the many angels who have done dozens of things to help me since I broke my arm.

A letter from a loved one Dear Brother David,    And if you are receiving this, you are indeed a friend.  I just wanted you to know how very grateful I am that you were a part of my life.    It has been a wonderful life; thanks to my parents and sibs; my good husband, Ted; our five wonderful children, their families and friends like yourself.    Keep on growing, glowing and knowing that we will meet again.  But…

Dear Lakeview Congregation, Today we received your THREE wonderful checks.  They came just at the right time to help us make this week’s payroll.  Your generosity from the Mission & Outreach Committee; the United Methodist Men’s Group, and the United Methodist Women really saved the day for us.  We are so very grateful to have friends like you.  I am looking forward to coming to TNT on October 10 to share with you what is happening at the Justa Center. …

 I wish to thank everyone for the support shown me during my recent illness.  I am grateful for the prayers, cards, phone calls,      and the prayer shawl.  I am especially grateful for the homemade grapefruit juice when I was unable to eat.  I still have treatments to undergo but know all will be well because of the love continuing to be shown to me. Know you are all in my prayers.         May God continue to bless you…

Back in 1956, Pearline was a single mother with a boy (4) and a girl (5) and was living in Oakland, California.  She was offered a promotion but this position…

Friends A Friend is one, who “know us” – our guilt and our shame – Regardless of our many sins Friends love us just the same. Years ago, I wrote those lines trying to describe “Friends.” Tell me:  what is your version? – “Your wisdom, never ends.” “A Friend in need, is a friend, indeed” – as the old “saying” goes – Friendship is much more than that – as anybody knows. – We have all kinds, so many Friends…

In tribute to our youngest daughter who left early (March 2019) to be in the middle of the Heavenlies. Hearing the patter of her small feet, I glanced at the glowing clock.  Five a.m. it read.  Instinctively I slid over to the center of the bed knowing that our little morning visitor was on her way.  She was too big for pajamas with feet in, so she claimed; and with lowered night temperatures and a nightly ritual of kicking off…
