• The L.O.V.E. Club was like an oasis of God's Smile when I arrived in town just a year and a half ago. Not a good move for myself and my husband, it was one of the first things that jumped out at me when I read the neighborhood newsletter. It was by far the most positive group I joined in my very short stay in the Chicago Area. The ladies were loving and so very kind. The leader was very well informed about the Bible, yet never harsh in her guidance and direction. Because of my experience in the L.O.V.E. Club, I have already looked for and found a neighborhood Bible study group I will attend this week in my new home in N.C. My husband and I have already joined a church here and have already begun our involvement in it as well. I hope I can be God's Smile to someone here in N.C. because of what I received from the L.O.V.E. Club in Chicago

• Through the L.O.V.E. Club I have learned to study and read the Bible. The discussions and books we discussed have helped me to become closer to God. I always want to read the Bible now. The Holy Spirit is definitely a part of my life.

• I want to thank each of you for the LOVE and kindness you showed to Judy and I over the past few weeks as I went through my surprise heart bypass surgery, and then recovery in the hospital and at home. Obviously the experience was quite traumatic to me, but then I slept through the worse part, so it was even more traumatic for Judy and our daughters who probably felt powerless to do anything but stand by, watch and pray. Fortunately during this time we were able to lean on the Lord for strength as many friends joined us in prayer. The Lord was truly faithful to us as He blessed us with early detection of the problem and a great team of doctors to fix me up. I am recovering extremely well and getting stronger each day.
  
  We also were blessed by the meals which many of you brought to our home. I know it lifted a burden from Judy by her not having to worry about planning meals, and it also allowed her to spend more time "babysitting" me. You will be pleased to hear that because of your meals, I have regained the weight I lost in the hospital - and then some.
  
  From one who has personally experienced the LOVE of the L.O.V.E. Club, I think I can say that the Lord would be very pleased with your outreach to LOVE your neighbors.
  
  Thank you and may God bless each of you.

• I wanted to share with you a beautiful poem that was written for Bucky, my dear friend, mentor, and fellow worship minister who has gone home to be with the Lord. What a beautiful testimony to God and her love for Him.

  God's Dancer Returns Home

  With reverent step on slippered feet,
  She makes her way down golden street,
  Eyes wide with wonder at it all
  Until at the Master's feet she prostrate falls.

  With jaded eyes and quiet feet
  She looks toward the Master's face,
  In thunderous roll He speaks her name,
  The one He gave before she came.

  "You've faithfully served, my little lamb,
  For many will folow you to this land,
  Upon your head I place this crown
  For souls reclaimed and lives unbound."

  She spoke in words, but realized
  The Master heard her heart's deep cry
  To ever, ever worship Him
  With heart and hand and dancing limb.

  Unable to speak, the awe so great,
  She simply looks into His Face,
  And in whispered breath come words so true
  "Master, I saved the last dance for you."
