SHARE FOUNDATION WITH THE HANDICAPPED P.O. Box 400 ROLLING PRAIRIE, INDIANA 46371-0400 GOOD NEWS NEWSLETTER FOR THE OTHER ABLED NOVEMBER 2009 219-778-2585 share@sharefoundation.org VOLUME 36 #1 FROM THE DESK OF FATHER BLANEY... I understand that some parents of other abled people have listed in their wills that upon their death, I should be called to take care of their other abled child. I have never agreed to that nor will I ever agree to it. First of all, Sharing Meadows is a wonderful place. But it is not for everyone who is other abled. (We’re talking about our residential program.) There is criteria for acceptance. We have a proven program that really works. It has many facets to the program to reach a multiplicity of personalities. The one program simply does not encompass everyone so we have criteria for acceptance. A while back a father of one of our villagers dropped by Kathleen Kelly’s office and reported that he had worried what was to happen to his other abled child when he died. But, since she was living at Sharing Meadows, he was no longer worried. Shortly after, that father, in fact, died. And he died with great peace! It is a great concern for many parents of other abled persons. The concern needs to be faced. In general, the longer the other abled person lives at home, the more and more the parent does for them. It’s easier! But it is not healthy to spoil an adult. If a parent wants their other abled child to live at Sharing Meadows, now is the time to apply. WEBSITE Archived issues of the Good News, information about Sharing Meadows’ residential program, and dates of coming events are all available on our website: www.sharefoundation.org This month the website had a total of 80,970 hits from the United States, China, France, the Russian Federation, Germany, Sweden, Romania and Canada. HEARTFELT THANKS So much good has been accomplished at Sharing Meadows due to the providence of God and the generosity of our donors. During this season of Thanksgiving, we want to thank all of you for your faithful support and encouragement. We are joyfully celebrating the 15th anniversary of the residential program at Sharing Meadows and we realize that the successful growth of this program couldn’t have happened without your help. We are truly grateful to each and every one of you. Special thanks goes to Tom and Laurel Kuczynski, owners of McKay Printing for their continued gift of printing the GOOD NEWS for us each month at no charge. They have continued to print the newsletter even during these uncertain economic times and their generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you to all of our donors and friends. May God bless you abundantly at Thanksgiving and always! WISH LIST Occasionally we have a need for items at Sharing Meadows and we put together a Wish List. Now that we are in the midst of black walnut season we find we need: CORN HUSKER If you have one in working condition that you are willing to donate to us, call the office at 219-778-2585 and we’ll arrange to pick it up. GOOD NEWS • PAGE 2 • VOL. 36 #1 THOUGHTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR By Kathleen Kelly Thanksgiving. A simple word that speaks volumes. Most of us look forward to the holiday so we can spend time with loved ones while enjoying a spectacular meal. Who hasn’t looked forward to freshly carved turkey accompanied by tasty stuffing, sweet potatoes, an assortment of vegetables and of course, pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream? The only thing better than the delicious food is having family and friends sharing the meal with us. While I certainly enjoy Thanksgiving feasts, I need to look beyond the celebration of the holiday and reflecting on the many blessings I have been given and decide how I can give back to others. A few years ago there was a popular movie called “Pay It Forward.” The story was simple – when we are the recipient of an act of kindness, we should pay it forward and do a kind act for someone else. I was reminded of that recently when I received two handwritten and heartfelt thank you notes from two of our villagers. We had hosted a meeting in the Forcey House at Sharing Meadows that included a meal that was served to our guests and we had some food left over. There wasn’t enough food for the entire community, just enough for one village, so we told the two stewards from one of the villages who were on duty they were welcome to bring their villagers to the Forcey House and enjoy the food. The next morning I received thank you cards from two of the villagers that were straight from their hearts. One of them wrote, “Thank you for the party you gave us” and the other one scripted, “I do love you. Thank you for the dinner. I would like to do something nice for you.” Those villagers truly understand not only thanksgiving but the importance of showing kindness to others. We can learn so much from the villager’s gift of loving unconditionally. Thanksgiving Day will find me sharing time with loved ones and thanking God for the many blessings He has given me especially the love and affirmation the villagers share with me each day. May your Thanksgiving be happy and may you always know the joy of paying it forward! 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF GOOD NEWS 35 years of GOOD NEWS! This issue begins our 36th year of publishing and mailing our newsletter to your home each month. Many people have told me they look forward to the newsletter each month to see what’s happening at Sharing Meadows. Thanks to their faithful following, our newsletter has evolved from a simple mimeographed sheet to a professionally printed newsletter complete with pictures. It has been a pleasure keeping you up to date with our progress, successes and struggles and we look forward to many more years of sharing GOOD NEWS with you!
