Senior Program
Senior Program The Gift Wrap and the Jewel Currently, many JOYs members have been making plastic mats for the homeless. As a group 18 mats have been made since starting this project in September. Focusing on being kinder and more thoughtful, we are sharing the skill and craft of the gifts God has given. 13 mats have been donated to the Five for the Homeless and two have been given to an individual who assists the homeless. The Salvation Army will continue to distribute the mats to clients as needed. Thank you for all your hard work! (photo on page 2) By Wanda B. Goines “I looked in the mirror and what did I see? But a little old lady peering back at me, With bags and sags and wrinkles and wispy white hair. And I asked my reflection, how did you get there? You once were straight and vigorous and now you’re stooped and weak, When I tried so hard to keep you from becoming an antique. My reflection’s eyes twinkled and she solemnly replied, You’re looking at the gift wrap and not the jewel inside. A living gem and precious of unimagined worth, Unique and true, the real you, the only you on earth. The years that spoil your gift wrap, with other things more cruel, Should purify and strengthen and polish up that jewel. So focus your attention on the inside, not the out, On being kinder, wiser, more content and more devout. Then when your gift wrap’s stripped away, your jewel will be set free, To radiate God’s glory throughout eternity!” “A healthy reminder for of us not to forget the “jewel” inside of us when we have to face life’s disappointments.”- Antonette Reese As this new year is rolling in, let’s All try to remember to keep our focus and keep our actions and words kind to and about one another. The more we surround ourselves with positivity, the more it spreads and we all reap the benefits!
