I hope your week has gone well, and I pray that as we enter this weekend of celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., you have some time to relax. One of my most favorite quotes from Dr. King is on faith. I love it because it captures the essence of the personality God made me be. I know you… It feels like yesterday was 2019 to me, but it’s not. It has been two years since I could make plans to visit foreign countries with not a care in the world. I gave no thought to the people I would meet; I was just thrilled to be able to meet them. I would go to India & Sri Lanka… As 2021 quickly comes to a close, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Prosperous New Year! With all of the challenges facing the world in 2021, Lutheran Social Services Southern California was blessed to move forward establishing new programs, refining existing systems and building for the future. I have had the privilege… Relaxation to me means not letting the grass grow under my feet. I love to see things get better, visualize the possibilities, take risks, and develop. I like being on the cutting edge of things and making things happen. I believe, if we try something and it doesn’t work, I say, Oh well, let’s try something else. LSSSC allows me… As we end this week and enter our weekend, I hope you will stop and take a rest. The holiday season is exhilarating for me, but I know that’s not the case for everyone. Yet, as wonderful as it is for me, I must force myself to stop and take a break. We might want to nd the perfect presents,… I hope you are well-rested from your holiday and pray this week was full of beautiful experiences. I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to this weekend. It’s Christmas Decorating weekend for me and I must admit, when I decorate, I am known to go overboard. Last evening, some items arrived at the house, and my husband… We have completed another busy week with gusto! I am so pleased with our progress in program development, fiscal processes, and overall organizational efficiencies. I have been watching with amazement at the work you do. Thank you for all that you do to serve the needs of the various communities. Here we are at the end of another week. As we continue to focus on gratitude, I cannot help but think about how challenging life has been for so many people over the last year. When I want to complain, I stop myself. Instead, I remind myself of just how blessed my life has been. Do you do the same? November is the month we set aside to focus on GRATEFULNESS. For years I have been intentional not to rush from Halloween to Christmas, and I take time to be grateful in November by focusing on joy! That is where I start today. Psalms 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad! I hope you have enjoyed your week. Thank you for the prayers and support you give to me and each other each day; I wish I could hold a function where we could all be together and laugh and enjoy one another. We continue to make plans, but the pandemic has different ideas. I pray next year we will be…
