Beds #72, #73, & #74
It’s been another hectic season in our personal lives. Between moving, renovations, surgery(s), kids, hockey, and the endless to-do lists that come with life. We’re all busy in one way or another, but I really appreciate when we are able to choose how we spend our time. With that being said, life sometimes has a way of catching us off guard, and we end up running in every direction- unable to slow down. We’re grateful, though, that The Sleep Mission had a quieter period, giving us the chance to catch-up in other areas of our life. ❤️
Just as life began to settle down, we had a request for beds and conveniently it came just days before I had surgery which will prevent us from doing beds for the next few months. Another example of God's perfect timing. This bed set up was another demonstration of the power of community and generosity. A few months ago Erin and Kelsey Hoffos donated a bunkbed that their son had grown out of. It ended up being a perfect match as we recieved a request for a bunkbed shortly afterward. The bunkbed went from one busy boy right onto the next! We are so grateful to Erin and Kelsey for their donation of the bunk bed complete with two mattresses. We also want to send a big thank you to Sherri and Alan Wenzel for their financial contribution, which covered the cost of three sets of bedding and pillows! Our kids play hands-on roles with each set-up by assembling parts of the bed frames at home and at times contributing some of their allowances. We make sure to prioritize time dedicated to teaching our children the value of giving and the joy of serving others- the foundation of the Christian faith. If they get one thing right in life, I hope it's their faith.
Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that we’ve recently partnered with a Canadian mattress company- GoodMorning.com that has generously committed to donating brand-new mattresses to The Sleep Mission. Their consistent, unconditional support speaks volumes about the integrity of their company, and the quality of the mattresses is outstanding—truly top-of-the-line comfort. We are so happy that these mattresses will provide such deserving children with the rest they need, and we know they will sleep soundly and peacefully. Thank you Goodmorning.com! One of their mattresses completed bed #74.
We are so excited to see this mission grow, and we are blessed to share the journey with people like you. Take care and as always, God bless.
