<div dir="auto">Dear Mary Lou,</div><div dir="auto">I know that things are more confusing for you especially since the assault and then Covid. That’s why you have Richard and Theresa and Michael and Vince and me and others who really love you and want to help you in whatever way we can. I do love you too and having worked with you for so many years I feel like I know the Mary Lou before the brain injury. But you know what? I love you as you are now. That’s the Mary Lou I really know and love. </div><div dir="auto">I encourage you to trust the good friends that God has provided for you. They love you and want what’s best for you. And so do I. </div><div dir="auto">As for God’s plan in all this, perhaps it’s all perfectly fine with God just how things are. We think things need to be perfect but God didn’t make life perfect. Sometimes the rose is a bit bent but it still smells beautiful! Just like you and all of us. </div><div dir="auto">See you at bible study, Catherine </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 17, 2023 at 2:02 AM Mary Lou Jorgensen-Bacher via Sundaycommunity <<a href="mailto:sundaycommunity@lists.integralshift.ca">sundaycommunity@lists.integralshift.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px">Catherine, </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px">Where can I go in todays way of "LIVING the GOSPEL"???
