Coronvirus Prayer
Jesus Christ, healer of all, come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care. Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders. Amen.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
As we stay in our homes to be safe and keep others safe, stay with us as we endure, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace. and heal us. Amen

Hello Everyone,As I begin this month's newsletter I am reflecting on how fortunate we were to have the opportunity to attend the events that started off our 2020 event calendar. Beginning with the Catch Your Breathe Luncheon then on to the Let It Snow, Let Us Glow Luncheon, then on to the 9 to 5 Musical, then the Valentine Day Dinner, and on to the Wretched Access Tea Party and then the March Fling Luncheon, before this terrible and dangerous virus came to our country.
Our lives have certainly changed in the past two weeks. Some of us have friends and family who have contracted the virus and now in the midst of trying to get through it. Many of the events that were slated for the upcoming months have been cancelled. Some will be rescheduled for next year.
We are now asked to stay in our home and only go out when absolutely necessary. Personally, the last time my son and daughter's family was on 3/15 to enjoy an early St Pat's Day dinner. I am thankful that we were able to have the day together. Facetime and Google Duo have become part of every other evening for Paul and I when we can check in to talk with them and see our grandchildren. I keep in my mind that we will all get through this.

Words to Ponder -
Bits and Pieces
Superior Cleaning and Maintenance Service
Marian's Puma's daughter, Adrienne is self employed and out of work like most of the workforce due to the virus. For a nominal fee, she is willing to do things for others who are not able to do for themselves.
Her business was called Superior and they did cleaning and maintenance service.
She and her partner have done all kinds of home and building maintenance including electrical, plumbing, painting. cleaning, and landscaping.
She is willing to run errands, shop for others and do almost anything else they need. I know we are all social distancing but perhaps some of us have a need she could help with while still avoiding any close contact. If you are interested in any of the services that Adrienne could help you with, her information is below.
Contact: Adrienne Puma at 518-221-7008
Phone is answered as Superior.
Leave a message if no immediate answer.
Thank you
Linnie

On the Lighter Side of Life
Note from Linnie
I don't know about you but I am trying my best to keep busy but there is just so much cleaning a person can do😊.
I don't know about you but I am trying my best to keep busy but there is just so much cleaning a person can do😊.
So far,
Since my hairdresser is closed, I dyed my hair, a little on the darker side, but it did cover the grey!💂♂️
I signed up for an online course with Babbel - and I am learning how to speak Italian!
Since my hairdresser is closed, I dyed my hair, a little on the darker side, but it did cover the grey!💂♂️
I had a home spa day, did a relaxing pedicure, watched an old movie and had a glass of wine!
Cleaned out my filing cabinet, no need to keep any work related followup papers!
Been face timing with my family almost everyday. It lifts my spirits to see and hear Athena and Jensen voices and see them in person. when we are on line.
What have you all been doing to keep busy and your mind off having to stay home?
It would be fun to know what every one is doing while we on staying in

In Closing:
Please pray for each other and our family members and our neighbors, for our president, our governor and for our country and our military and police, first responders, and correctional officers, for all those who are required to work at their jobs during this crisis whether is private industries or in the food supply and retail areas and in the sanitation and housekeeping fields. For the members of our communities who are kind enough to be making a supply of the much need face masks and donating them where there is a need.
Special prayers for the nurses and doctors in and outside of the hospitals and for all those in the medical field, especially the retired nurses and doctors who are coming out of retirement to assist in the hospitals. There are so many more to mention and I apologize, for anyone who I neglected to list.

That is the news right now.
My thoughts are with you. Please stay healthy and safe and strong and positive.
