Thanks to my wife for putting all of our new plants in the garage, so as not to get "frosted" last night. Good move !

Shawnee UMC had 39 servants volunteering their time to serve 178 families at the Mobile Hope Food Pantry. We were blessed to have a donation of cereal boxes from the elementary students at Shawnee. We also had plenty of laundry detergent from P&G. We are grateful for P&G for awarding us a $5,000 grant to help us serve families in our community!

My boyfriend had a rough week at work so I stopped by the Indian grocery store to get one of his favorite snacks. Only I forgot what it was called! I tried describing it to the cashier, but not very well, so he was confused. But then the customer behind me chimed in "galub jamun?" And that was what I was looking for!

Recently I reconnected with an old friend - I was visiting from another state. Upon returning home- my car literally died in my driveway ! He actually ordered a part for me and on his day off a few days later which was a rarity in itself… he drove 2 1/2 hrs to install it and make sure I was up and running - my car was actually misdiagnosed so he also found the real problem and had to send the part back ! Free of charge. Just because he’s a good guy.🥰

Went to a new restaurant and spent 2 hours getting the best, friendliest service I have ever seen. To me and my 3 friends, this above and beyond kindness was very impressive. Please visit The Boilermaker Restaurant and Bar, hosted by Chip Pugh and Lelah Johnson. Kindest bar in Lima , with great food
