you ever read them. It is currently March 15 and I am behind on get- ting this written and turned in. To- day is the deadline! The last few weeks have really been challenging for me. On February 20, my father passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. On February 27, my husband tested positive Covid and on March 6, I too tested positive.  I share these things because it is a part of my testimony.

I am sure most of you are familiar with those words, “For everything, there is a season…” and Mat- thew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” My father knew that Jesus was his savior, and he was prepared for his future in heaven. That gives me comfort as well. John 16:16 says, “A little while, and you will see me no longer, and again a little while, and you will see me.” This was Jesus talking to his disciples, but I like to think about it also as our life here on earth being a little while and it will be another little  My husband Tony and I were blessed with relatively mild cases of Co-

Since becom- ing more involved in Women’s Ministries, I have met so many Christian women that have impacted my life in ways they don’t even know. It is like an expanded family. If you are not involved in your local Women’s Ministries, I encourage you to start. If you have never attended activi- ties or events hosted by your Presbyteries, I encourage you to start. Fi- nally, if you have never attended a Women’s Ministries Annual Meeting at Bonclarken, I encourage you to attend this summer. It is more than just a meeting. You will make lifelong connections.
