On Tuesday afternoon we had the opportunity and privilege to be able to go into one of the hospitals here and give out some dolls that had been made by a precious lady from Philidelphia Baptist Church in Connelleys Springs, NC. Sadly she has gone to be with the Lord, and so she isn't here to know the incredible blessing she was to 30 kids and their parents on Tuesday afternoon. I rejoice to know that she is with her Lord praising Him for the great things He has done.
We made a packet of goodies for the parents and the kids. There is no cafeteria at the hospital for the parents to swing into while they sit day after day at the hospital and so we wanted to bless their hearts too. We threw in some chocolate, water, pretzels, coffee, candy and tissue.
Hannah and Jessica put together a cute little coloring book and we got some crayons and candy for each of the kids to go along with their little baby dolls.
Because it is a state run hospital, they would not allow us to hand out Bibles or other Christian books, but we were able to set some up on a table in one of the physical therapy rooms.
You can see the little baby doll sitting on the bed by the little girl. Precious.
This little boy below was amazing. "K" had just gotten to the hospital that day and he is waiting to have two brain surgeries and most likely a kidney transplant. He was the most energetic little thing. He gave all of us chocolate and just talked and talked. After he walked us to the room with the Bibles so we could get one for his mom, he walked us to our car. Precious. You can pray for him today and tomorrow and pray that we will be able to visit him and the other children again.
Oh and so you know, all of the Bibles and books that we set out got taken by the staff and moms. Amazing! God is good. Pray that they will read them and that what they read will take root in their hearts to the glory of God.

If the precious lady from Connelleys Springs, NC fell asleep in the Lord, then while she isn't physically here to know the incredible blessing she was to 30 kids and their parents, I'm sure she was there spiritually. After all, Christ was there, she's in Christ, and so why wouldn't Christ allow her to see (or at least tell her)? I'm sure she saw the blessing she was, and is rejoicing with you all. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Mandy and all the others for spreading Jesus's word and Love.
This is such a Blessing to hear, and I know she would be very Blessed. She loved doing for others also.
I pray God continues to Bless and use each of you. Stay safe and keep on trusting Jesus.
Praise God for this. We are so thankful for your hearts and ministry to these people who are so precious to King Jesus!
