I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. 1 John 2:13 KJV
John was an old man by the time he penned these words, and travel for him was difficult. But one thing John could still do was write; and write he did. It may have frustrated John a bit, not seeing his friends in person, but that did not stop him from delivering a message to build them up. Today I am sitting home with Covid-19 and our nursing home meetings today and tomorrow are cancelled. So far, my symptoms are just a nasty sore throat and a light fever, but this made me recall another reason why we started Sunshine Newsletter and I started to make little song videos. I am also immensely thankful for the team of people who have come around me so that we can publish this every week. Sunshine Newsletter so far, reaches 9 facilities in three different states. God has not forgotten His people who are shut behind the doors of nursing homes, assisted living facilities and memory care wards. Sometimes we may not be able to go in ourselves, but God always will show us a way through an open door, where we least expect it!
I just recovered from Covid recently. It wasn’t fun! I pray that you will recover quickly. Blessings, Pastor Pete!

Thank you Cindy. Yes after 2 1/2 years, in spite of getting both shots and a booster it happened. Thanks for your prayers. My wife seems fine and can’t get tested till Friday so I am thankful that she isn’t going through this at the same time.

Thanks Patty. Your post was so perfect for our people. I appreciate your willingness to contribute. I hope you like the scaled back version as I didn’t have room for the whole post. So how are those sunflowers doing?
