She was frantically looking for “just the right picture frame” for a piece of paper that she held tightly in her hands. She shared that this piece of paper was the very last thing her son had written before he died and wanted to put it in a frame and display it. He had died of cancer only 3 weeks prior and she was clearly hurting. We shared some prayer and hugs. She shared the letter with us, which brought tears to our eyes. He spoke of how he did not want anyone to be sad for him, how he was beyond blessed in his life, and to continue to praise God in all we do. It was his letter to his family to ease “their” pain. Everyday, God brings people that will touch us all through the doors of the store and offices. We are able to pray with those who are hurting, or be blessed by others. This is something we never take for granted! Working and volunteering at Love INC, with help from our churches and community, is so rewarding! Car Care Saturday April 25th, Ottawa Reformed Church held the biannual Car Care Saturday. The event runs smoothly with church volunteers who serve breakfast, give hair cuts, check blood pressure and service cars to clients who signed up.
