We’ve had a lot going on lately with major family sicknesses and deaths of loved ones recently and I’ve been in White Plains a lot.

Connor’s grandmother passed away, a friend of mine and Carol’s lost his wife to dementia, Mr. Stanley passed, Papa Taylor passed away and my dad spent a week in the hospital but will hopefully be getting scheduled for a quadruple bypass soon.

I say all that to say that Jesus is working and walking right there beside me and I’m so grateful. I have been on a spiritual high through it all and I have been amazed at all the times I say. “Lord, I don’t think I can do this.”The Lord’s response is, “But I can.” So, I take His Hand and we keep on walking it out.

He’s also got some amazing people to help me. 🥰. You all have made it possible for me to be able to share little Jesuses from White Plains to Madison, to Watkinsville and to 3 hospitals in Athens. I had to order more because I only have about ten left. PEOPLE LOVE THESE!!! and I’m always generous with them and give them extras to share with others. They love being able to give!

You’ve all also made it possible for me to make several meals and/or desserts for friends that are shut in, unable to cook or just too busy caring for another. After spending all this time down at dad’s, I have to say, check on your grandma’s and grandpa’s because they might just be sitting on the front porch eating beanie weinies straight out the can! (Mine was) 🤮🎂

This week I’ll get Roger (his wife passed and had dementia) and a shut in female senior citizen with no family, some chicken and dressing and hot ham and cheese sandwiches on sweet Hawaiian rolls. Of course I’ll throw some vegetables in somehow;)

Again, thank you all so much for obeying God’s Word and looking out for the burdens and needs of others. Thank you for helping me plant seeds at every opportunity I’m given. I love you all!

There are updates on Nana Taylor’s meal train. Please volunteer if you can. Should you need help with the website, please message me and I can input your info for you.

Thank you so much!

My heart is filled with so much joy tonight as I got to do something I’ve struggled to do while I’ve been recovering from the brain blast of 2022.

I have been praying recently for God to use me more than what He currently is. I asked Him specifically to let me get back to taking meals to the sick, shut in, elderly, unable or anyone He puts in my path.

I put the word out in the last week or so and asked supporters to please provide funds to help me meet this need. In less than an hour, I collected $250 to cover this trip and 2 more. Thank you so very much to those of you that made this possible! I could not have done it without you!

I made macaroni and beef cheesy casserole and garlic cheese biscuits today. I had to take a break between casseroles and biscuits. So what took me maybe an hour to prepare before, took me about 4 hours today but I got it done.

Since I maxed out my brain cells for the day, Connor had to drive me to the houses and it felt surreal and a bit nostalgic. When he was little, he rode shotgun in the truck on many (probably all) kdeliveries with me and always had the best time.

I cannot express the excitement in the voice and in the face of the caregiver spouse that’s been living on frozen corn dogs and pizzas, and ham sandwiches for more months than could be counted. Thankfully, we delivered it straight out of the oven, because they said they were starving and ready to eat. No time to stand around chit chatting today. 😂

As we rode along to all 4 stops, my heart just filled with joy and gratitude that the answer to my prayer was unfolding right then, with my beloved son and my beloved Mason witnessing it.

It didn’t look as easy as it once was. Nor did it feel as easy as it once did. Some things had to be tweaked, my scheduling and planning is nonexistent now and it all made me very tired. But my prayer was answered. I didn’t ask God to make it as same as it was ten years ago, but just to give me the opportunity to try.

Thank you Lord, for allowing me to be Your trusted casserole deliverer. I was reminded tonight why I always felt so blessed by it. Because it is more blessed to give than to receive.

As most of you know, Lovelight Charities is a very small operation receiving no grants or anything like that. I only have one recurring monthly donation and it has been a great blessing to the Fowler Court residents.

However, there are needs outside of Fowler Court that I have been trying to meet on my own and that is making meals for people (mostly elderly) that are just going through difficult times and would benefit greatly from a homecooked meal every once in awhile.

I have an elderly friend whose spouse is battling dementia at home so they are the primary caregiver and are completely exhausted and overwhelmed. My friend lives off of frozen corndogs, ham sandwiches and frozen pizza because there’s no energy left to cook anything else.

There’s a legally blind elderly friend that can only make the simplest of things such as a sandwich, a bowl of cereal, or a can of soup. Being legally blind, they cannot drive to the store. Also, they can barely work their phone, so ordering delivery online seems impossible.

There’s an entire assisted living home that has been near and dear to my heart for over a decade now. Before Covid I enjoyed ordering Captain D’s or KFC once in a while for the 6 (max #) residents that lived there but it’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to do that.

Those are just a few of the senior citizens I know that would benefit from this. If you remember, long before Covid, I delivered meals on Thursday nights to people that were sick, shut in or handicap. I thoroughly enjoyed it and they certainly appreciated it.

I don’t know that I will ever be able to deliver weekly again since my brain tried to k?!! me that time in 2022, BUT, I can do what I can do, when I can do it.

You all are so very generous and faithful to this little ministry when a need arises. I am so very blessed that God has always provided through you for every assignment he’s given us.

So, here I am again, asking you for monetary support for these needs. If you can and would like to donate you can Venmo me at Bonnie-M-Ellis or Zelle or Lovelight’s paypal. (Cash App also but I’m not very good at working it for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣)

May God continue to bless you as you have been such a blessing to so many others!

I’ve watched this 5 times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t get a lot of pics today because we hit the ground running, but our Fowler Court friends were blessed with some necessities as this ice storm comes into our area.

A couple of them went to the store earlier today and couldn’t find bread, so I’m glad I grabbed about 20 loaves for them.
We also had:
Cases of Juice boxes
Boxes of mixed Potato chips
Cookies
Crumb cakes
Brownies
Bananas
Oranges
Tangerines
Gallons of water
Cases of water
Candles
Matches
Flashlights
Toilet paper

As always, they were all so very appreciative and were happy to see me and my crew of handsome young men. I was able to catch up with a few, pray for some that desperately need it and had one pray for me. I loved having Dylan along for the first time. I think he enjoyed it.

Thank you so very much to each of you that so generously supported this effort. It truly made a positive impact on our grateful friends.

What a sweet, sweet feeling as I watched my grandbabies and my grown babies put together care bags for our friends at Fowler Court. When I made the decision to truly follow Christ, my prayer was simply, “Send me, Lord, I’ll go. Use me, Lord, as a living sacrifice. Let all who come in contact with me see You, Lord. Not me, but You.”

For 10 years I had not only my kids, but friends, family, fellow church members and friends of friendsout there with me feeding the homeless in Atlanta. God gave me a new assignment in my own corner of the world that I will admit took me months to accept. I remember crying to my friend, Heather, and telling her how I felt like I was breaking up with my homeless friends that I’d spent a decade coming to know

With much prayer and tears, I gladly stepped into my next assignment which brought me to my senior citizen friends at the Covington Housing Authority apartments.

For over 16 years, there have been countless care bags made under the roof of this house. There has been more food, hot chocolate, sandwiches, and casseroles baked in this kitchen than I can even remember. More Christmas gifts wrapped and goody bags made than I can count.

As I was going through some old pictures on FB from this 16-year assignment, I realized that God’s response to my simple prayer was, “I’ll send you, my child, but you’re going to be taking some folks along with you. Your children, your grandchildren, friends, family, and people you never would have expected. I’ll use you, but I’ll use them also; to support you, walk alongside of you, serve with you, make care bags with you. Because it’s not just for you; it’s for all who see your light shine and give Me the glory and honor Me through your good works” ( Matt 5:16)

Do ALL THE THINGS; all those momentary “feel good things”; because we need more good people who do good in this world now more than ever! More Good, less evil. More Light, less darkness. More Love, less hate.

Just don’t get so wrapped up in doing good that you forget that your being a good person is not what gets you into Heaven. Jesus says in John 14:6 “ I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to The Father except by Me.”- John 14:6

So, keep doing all the good you can. Just make sure to nurture your relationship with Jesus Christ like it’s the most important one you’ll ever have, because it is! And It’s what will get you to the Pearly Gates!
