Giving & Receiving: A Note from the Care Team

My favorite part of our mission statement is to “Care for Each Other.” Members of our Care Team show up to provide for others, just as they have been provided for themselves. My favorite columnist, Sharon Randall, said it best when describing a time in her childhood when her family received the Care they needed.

Quoted with permission:

“Some good and caring people from our church came to our door with a ham and a tin of cookies. After they left, my mother handed me a cookie. Life, she said, is a bank. Sometimes you put in. Other times you take out. Either way, it’s all the same bank. You need to remember how hard it is to receive, because someday you’ll do the giving.”
