I don’t think it’s luck I think it’s my blessing to know Women that use their lives with grace. Many of us who are younger then our friends can sometimes learn so much on facing Life’s challenges by our friends examples. Extraordinary Women are Women that have their own personal lives they lead and then with any extra time give it to their church their community and their friends.
My friend Janet is such a person. Janet gives to her church by organizing a prayer quilt ministry. When my daughter was first diagnosed with MS Janet had a quilt made by her church and all the knots were prayers for my daughter. It was such a gift when we were all reeling from the shock of her illness. You can’t imagine how a simple quilt can bring comfort.
Janet volunteered to drive people around to doctor appointments in her community. How many of us when we have some free time drive strangers around out of kindness. Janet also is a volunteer as a Tip volunteer going to traumatic events to help people at a crime scene or crisis event. Police need help as they do their job with the family members who are traumatized and Tip volunteers are such people being on call once a month and on the crisis scene being a kind shoulder for total strangers. .Janet is not a spring chicken but instead of sitting at home in a nice sofa by the fireplace Janet goes out in the middle of the night to not so pleasant situations. Recently Janet has had one operation after another and now she has Breast Cancer. Janet is one of the strongest faith driven women I know and she will handle this latest challenge with biblical grit. I am sure I am not the only person in this world to know an extraordinary Woman .Prayers for a good lady you don’t know but you would love as a fellow rug hooker and Extraordinary Woman.
