Why do you do what you do?

“My mother-in-law resided in a health care center for 5 years with Alzheimer’s and the church continued in all that time to visit and care for her.  I was so touched by their dedication and feel that God has led me through Stephen Ministry training and serving shut in communion into a time of service to those who need a loving touch and smile.  I am rewarded many times over with dear friends who teach me and love me in return.  God is good!”
