Mission Moment for Wednesday.

Well, we spent 5 days at my friend`s cabin on sugar creek last week. It was amazing. All the weather was amazing. The warm sun, cool mornings, rain, all of it was wonderful. I was sick but it was better to be sick out there than at home on the couch.

So this post will be for all this week. As I was too tired to post, from recuperating from being sick.

We went to Lebanon Walmart and got an entire van load. Somehow everyone knew and everything was gone in a few hours.

A caseworker used our supervised visit room.

We picked up at C-ville Walmart on Tuesday. All that is also gone from the cubbies. Please remember that those items are for everyone. Do not take an entire box of items. If the cubbies are full that means no one has been there yet so do not be greedy.

We picked up bags of used clothing in C-ville, then picked up some blankets.

We delivered food in C-ville.

A mom picked up food on Tuesday.

We got a knee scooter returned and someone already needs it.

All that was Monday and Tuesday.

Today, an older lady came in for a shower chair and toilet paper.

A couple picked up a couch.

A gentleman picked up a lazy boy chair for his handicapped son.

A young mom of 2 came in for pjs, jeans, shirts, hoodies, shoes, and socks and food for her kids.

An 87 year old man just moved to Ladoga from Montana. All he had was a bed. So with help from our good friends Drew and Donna, we took him, a couch, lazy boy chair, 2 end tables, 2 lamps, pots and pans, silverware, sheets, comforter, set of dishes, hangers, 3 hand towels, bath towel, 6 wash cloths, 3 baking dishes, walker, shower chair, and food.

Then a caseworker brought in a client, mom of 4. She was given, crock pot, 6 sets of sheets, 10 pairs of socks, 2 pair shoes, 8 pair of underwear, lunch bag, 16 rolls of toilet paper, 3 body wash, 5 pairs of jeans, shampoo, conditioner, razors, dish soap, sponges, 3 deodorants, laundry detergent, a cleaner and food.

An older lady came in and took a couch and 3 blankets. They put the couch on top of their van. Hope they made it home.

Our food pantry is very low. We are trying to hold out until November when several companies have food drives. Please give to these drives as they help all of Montgomery County by providing food to several pantries. Or you can leave food items at the Ladoga Gas Station and Dollar General in the donation boxes. You can also call us for an appointment to drop off or we will pick up.

We could also use silverware and bath towels.

All that involved loading, unloading, recording, and putting away.
Messages were taken care of and appointments made.

We were very busy. Wore me out. We have no appointments tomorrow or Friday. But I will check messages and that could turn into a 6 hour day.

We now have 2550 followers.

Until next time: Pray for someone who does not know Jesus.

Mission Moment for Monday.

So Saturday we worked. We went to two yard sales for a couple pieces of free furniture.

I have been sick since last Thursday but wanted to get everything that could possibly be done since we are going to the creek Tuesday afternoon through Saturday.

Today a young mom of two came in, our only appointment. She received 4 leggings, 4 shirts. 20 pair of socks, winter coat, hat and gloves for her daughter and winter coat, hat, and gloves for her son. And they also were given food.

I had the pleasure of speaking with AT & T yesterday. Spoke with two different people on chat. Both told me something different and did not help with what I was asking. All I wanted was two return address labels. So I called them this morning. The lady sent me the labels and it took about 3 minutes.

We went to Roachdale to send ups packages. Then went to New Ross to pick up aluminum cans.

I prepared end of the month mailings for my board and got those in the mail.

We unloaded the van from the yard sales and got those items put away.

There are more fresh pears and cucumbers on the veggie table.

Until next time: we will see you Monday. Spend some time with Jesus.

Mission Moment for Thursday.

So we took yesterday off. Did some shopping for ourselves.

Today we had one appointment. We took care of that, then spent a lot of time cleaning and straightening our garage. We have more furniture coming so needed more room since our furniture room is full.

We also straightened our food pantry and cleaned there. Put down a new runner we found in the garage.

We put the rest of the desserts in the cubbies and more popsicles. There are men’s jeans, clothing, books, and a few other things out there.

If you have anything else in your garden or pears, apples, squash, or pumpkins to put on the veggie table please do that. We will be putting the tables away soon.

Reminder: we will be closed Tuesday afternoon through Friday. If you need anything please let us know before Tuesday.

We continue to get new followers. Just so ya know we have a box for donated food at Ladoga Dollar General and Ladoga Marathon for your convenience. Sometimes we are hard to find. We also have boxes for your monetary donations at Ladoga Marathon and the Laughing Cow diner.

If you have not signed up at Kroger Community Rewards, please consider that.

Until next time: always be kind.

Mission Moment for Tuesday.

We picked up at Walmart this morning. They gave us a bike. While we were in the parking lot after lunch and a friend came up to me me and said her friend just got a job but she does not have a car. So guess what. Yep, she got a brand new bike on the spot. Now she can get to her new job. I found more $4 and $3 backpacks. Bought appointment book and 2027 calendars for the office, and furnace filters. We have 8 furnaces. Takes a lot of filters. And one of them takes two.

There is Walmart stuff in the cubbies, desserts, popsicles, books, men’s jeans and other stuff there too. I saw a young man in the cubbies that visits them often. I went out to talk to him. He cannot drive for a few years because he got in some kind of trouble. Anyway, he rides a bike everywhere. It was looking a little worn out. So I gave him a new bike too that Walmart had given us another time.

A few more pears on the veggie table.

We delivered a bed frame, sheet sets, and a kitchen wastebasket to the siblings that had been homeless. Now they just need a king mattress. The other things they need have been located just need to get them there.

We received 7 bags of food for the pantry. Thanks Jenny.

Got a clothing donation. Thanks Sharon.

We unloaded the van, processed all donations and put everything away.

Took care of the office work and recycling went to the bin.

We do not have any appointments tomorrow so will not be in the office. We will be there Thursday and Friday for a short time. Then we will be in Monday and Tuesday. We will be taking the rest of next week off if the weather looks good. Going to my happy place before it gets too cold.

Until next time: always take time to recharge. Even Jesus went to the mountains to pray.

So tonight our furniture was delivered.
We have a 20 min. Parking space in front of the mission. Someone is parked there. I’m sure a lot longer than 20 minutes. And a truck pulls up and Angela asks if they could park somewhere else because we had a delivery. They said no. So our furniture comes in a trailer and they have to unload in the street! They had several end tables, lazy boy chairs, a couch, and other things.
Some people only think of themselves and some cannot read.
But without their cooperation we got everything inside.

Mission Moment for Thursday.

I had my yearly check up with my doctor this morning so had a short day.

We gave a single mom clothes for her two daughters. They received 13 shirts, 2 hoodies, jacket, 6 pairs of jeans, 2 pair of shoes, and 3 leggings.

My two friends picked up a load of furniture for us. Thanks Drew and Tim.

A young lady is bringing us furniture from her grandmother tonight. Thanks Rachel and thanks Angela for taking care of that.

Took care of phone messages, worked on my end of the month report, and put donated shirts on the shelf.

Angela took out recycling.

A lady came in for some warm clothing. She got a shirt, 2 pair of jeans, sweatpants, and two hoodies.

The people who we picked up furniture from yesterday told us they had a stove if anyone would come in asking for one. Well, that happened. I hooked them up and they will even deliver it to her. Perfect timing.

Since we have so many new followers I want to mention again that if you shop at Kroger, you can go to Kroger community rewards and fill out the form. Choose us as your charity and we will receive a percentage of what you spend. We get a quarterly check from them. Thank you to everyone that has already done that.

There will be food drives coming up. Please donate. The food goes to several pantries.

Angela has an appointment in Indy tomorrow so that will be our day off this week. We will see you on Monday.

Until next time: Jesus is the Great Physician.

Mission Moment for Wednesday.

Had a dentist appointment this morning.

Then we stopped at a home that is donating furniture. We told them which items we wanted. We put as much as we could in the van. The rest will be picked up by my volunteers that pick up the heavy stuff. They also had a washer and dryer. They will be taking that to the siblings that were homeless along with a dresser. Thanks Julie.

A grandmother came in for a mixer and can opener for her granddaughter that just got her own place.

Then we went to Roachdale and picked up a ton of stuff. It is all in the cubbies. Except for several men`s shirts. They were counted, processed, sorted, and will be put on the shelf.

We received a very nice blender. Thanks Rachel.

A donation of 3 bags of food was received for our food pantry. Thanks Rita.

Angela cleaned the veggie table and unloaded the van putting most of the stuff in the cubbies.

There are pears, apples, hot banana peppers, and cucumbers on the veggie table. Thanks Kelly and Candy. Do not who donated the other things, but we thank you too.

Until next time: Jesus said, if you love me you will keep my commandments.

Mission Moment for Tuesday,

So yesterday I did not go to the office. My eye was really sore and watery, so I stayed home to give it some tlc.

Angela was available to give out clothing that we had gathered for a young student. He got 2 pairs of jeans, 5 shirts, 5 pair of underwear, and a jacket.

She also accepted a furniture donation. Thanks Angela for stepping up when I couldn’t. Thanks Sherry and Mark for the donation.

We received a donation of 10 new binders. Thanks Jennifer.

We went to Walmart for donation pick up this morning. Of course you need to check the cubbies.

Got the mail and paid the bills, and had 8 phone messages. So our phone works. Returned all those calls.

While at Walmart I found dresses for $4, and backpacks for $5, $4, and $3.

My sister donated a big kitchen trash can.

We have tons of furniture to pick up. Will need help. I am looking at some of it tomorrow.

Have a dentist appointment in the morning.

Until next time: never ever doubt how much Jesus loves you.

09/25/2026

Mission Moment for Friday.

No day off this week.

We prepared items for a family of 5. They came in and picked up food, clothes, and diapers.

We gathered clothing for a young man that will be picked up on Monday.

I was privileged to speak to AT&T twice today, since we got cut off the first time. Several people have told us that when they call it says our number is disconnected. It is not, it works. AT&T says it is not their problem but the callers phone is the problem. At any rate I will still not respond to Facebook messages. So if your phone does not work when calling, please try with a different phone. I would be working 24/7 if I start answering Facebook messages. Sorry that is not going to happen.

We now have 2525 followers.

A friend brought in 6 new backpacks. Thanks Shawna!

Angela got the cubbies straightened up, that will last about an hour.

Got more tomatoes donated on the veggie table.

You all have a nice weekend.

Until next time: attend church this Sunday.

Mission Moment for Thursday.

Started off with no appointments. But I checked messages and we ended up with things to do.

We delivered to an elderly lady in Cville. We took her a cane, bath soap, toilet paper, shampoo, two cleaners, and 2 sweatshirts.

Then we took the formerly homeless siblings, hangers, two night stands, 2 lamps, 2 sheet sets, and a stool. They still need two full or a queen Matt and boxspring with frame.

After those deliveries we went to a home to check out furniture they will be donating when they move. There will be lots of items to pick up and we will need help. We will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Will check messages tomorrow, but we have no appointments.

We picked up money from our donation box at the gas station and one bag of donated food from our food donation box. Thank you to everyone that donates their change and food to our boxes there.

Until next time: Jesus is the light of the world.
