“In every life a little rain must fall.” I’ve heard that statement all my life, but I have realized that sometimes it doesn’t just rain…it pours! This year was one of those times for me. That downpour became a violent storm, but that storm was replaced by the stillness of gently falling snow and the peace of refreshing spring showers because of my church family! I have been deeply blessed by your cards, gifts, and words of encouragement. Because of your prayers I am well on the way to an excellent recovery and getting stronger every day. It is with heartfelt gratitude that I quote these words, “I thank my God on every remembrance of you!” Thank you for the many ways you have blessed my life! —Rev. Carol Cloer
