Happy Fall! Yesterday we were reminded by Eric Samuel Timm to "share our love." Whether that be families on the other side of the world or right here in our community, we need to spread the love and hope that Jesus brings to those that are hurting and in need. Small things can make a huge impact in the lives of another.
Yesterday, I heard of a single mother of 2 young children from Muskego that lost her home and belongings in a fire recently. Unfortunately, she did not have renters insurance and has now lost everything, including her car that blew up due to the intense fire. My heart breaks for this mom as she is working very hard to keep her kids in school and keep life as normal as possible for them.
Sara Wiesner's sister in law is good friends with this woman and they both have been collecting donations to help her replace the things that were lost. If you are able to donate anything, please let us know (nurturewfa@hotmail.com). This family could sure use our love and support right now.
Clothing sizes:
Mom - medium tops, size 9 pants, 9 shoe
Daughter - size 6/7, size 2 shoe
Son - 3T bottom, 4T tops
They will also need a couch, beds, etc. once they get back into their own place. If you have any of those items you would be willing to donate, let us know and we will keep that in mind for when she can take them.
Amy Prebil is opening up the Little Blessings meeting this Thursday to anyone who wants to come pray for this family. She is collecting cash to be given as a donation along with anything else you might have to give.
Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus with this family and offering them hope during these difficult days!
Our next playdate will be tomorrow - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 at 10:00 am. We will be meeting at RETZER NATURE CENTER (S14 W28167 Madison St) in WAUKESHA.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:35-40
