Springfield Friends
Go Quakers!
thank you from Kerry Jean!
I want to thank everyone for thinking of me during this past month and celebrating my birthday with me! I truly felt overwhelmed with love! I have never felt such a gift as what you all did for me, and I can never thank you enough. When I walked into the fellowship hall and saw all your smiling faces, I was so surprised! I am amazed that the children were able to keep the secret from me! They all did a wonderful job! I feel so blessed to have such a great group of FRIENDS!

In Proverbs, we are reminded that “A friend will love you all the time.” (Proverbs 17:17)

Tis the season to thank God for friendships and to thank God for His friendship too!

“Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.” -Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Thank you for your ongoing support and kindness. May this next year provide you with lots of love, happiness, and the enjoyment of many friendships….here at Springfield and beyond!

Lots of Love,
Kerry Jean
Inspirational Quote
Imagine darkness so thick that you can't see your own hand in front of your face.  Darkness that covers all light, all efforts to guide and direct.  Total darkness is consuming and terrifying.  In such complete blackness, one thin sliver of light is the equivalent of hope.  It provides a direction to look towards and the hope of an escape from the darkness.  It is quite simply, a comfort. 
When the circumstances of life weigh heavily on you, drowning out all joy and hope, what do you do?  Some people turn their faces to the wall and hide, some run around blindly, and others become completely immobile. 
Are you able to look around for the thin sliver of light that offers hope and comfort in the darkness?  It is always there - in the tenderness and promise of God's Word, in the words of a song, in the smile of a friend.  God always gives that hope.  Look for it.  Find comfort in it.
