Janelle laid up at UNMC for six weeks, then on to rehab.
Janelle and Bill working the Sturgis Aid Station in Missouri Valley, Iowa – for those trekking through on their way to the South Dakota Rally.
prisingly, came alongside us as well. All were there when we needed them.
Nebraska CMA Leadership was aware and reached out. Ruth Hale and her husband, Jim, Nebraska Area Reps at the time, asked Bill early in my journey if there was anything specific they could do for us. His response was YES!
I wondered if Ruth and Jim would make and supply us with the angels. She has the reputation of gifting whomever they meet with her angels. Those of you who know her KNOW that!
I wanted us to give angels to my caregivers during the weeks I was being cared for at both UNNC and Madonna. They
brought over 100 + angels they made, which were gifted to my doctors, nurses, aides, and therapists in appreciation for their care. Bill would relay for me( until I got my voice back) once the trach was removed that β€“β€œ This is aβ€˜ small’ gift of appreciation from Janelle, wanting you to know she appreciates all you have done and continue to do for her, and more importantly she wants you to know that theβ€˜ GREATEST’ gift you can receive is salvation through JESUS. Directing them to read the note attached with Romans Road scriptures and a Sinner’ s Prayer allowing them to acknowledge their sin and encouraging them to profess JESUS as their
Lord and Savior. I’ m unsure of who made decisions with the angels gifted but I do know – God does!
I have been in FULL recovery for three years now, trusting Him then and continuing to trust Him in our lives now, with whatever may come our way, this side of Heaven.
Jeremiah 29:11( NIV) says,β€œβ€™ For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord,β€˜ plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
IT IS ALL about JESUS! HE and HE ALONE is our HOPE! CMA
Janelle and Bill are members of the Second Mile Riders chapter # 197 in Omaha, Nebraska.
