56 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2021 It's SO good to be meeting together again as pre-COVID! We meet every Friday morning from 10:30 to 11:45 am in The Lodge Game Room. If you are interested in joining an amazing group of Godly women, please come join us. We know there are lots of new ladies who have moved in during the quarantine, so now's the time to come and share the Word together! We are a non-denominational study, and any version of the Bible is acceptable. In July we completed studying Chapters 12 and 13 in the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament. We have studied this book verse-by-verse, to help us understand the amazing lessons in this beautiful book. We have learned so much, and have so enjoyed learning and growing together. On Aug. 6 we will begin a new eight-week series focused on "How to Be an Amazing Daughter of God." This will be an interactive study of eight life and gospel principles beginning with the letter "C." In addition, there will be lots of amazing handouts. So, calling all members of "Believe…" as well as ladies who have put off joining a Bible study — now's the time! Come join us… we'll be looking for you! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine, (951) 922-6829 or egcellent@msn.com "Believe…" Women's Bible Study Intercessory Prayer group Greetings intercessors, friends, and neighbors! We welcome you to come and join us in the Game Room on the first Monday of each month at 9 am. Feel free to come in and agree in prayer. We know that prayer changes things. Approximately three or four months ago, we were asked to pray and come into agreement with other intercessors for a young boy who lived in Texas. For no apparent reason, he was unable to walk or speak; this condition came on suddenly and baffled doctors. After running tests, they were unable to diagnose why his body shut down in this way. How could this happen? He was a seven-year-old boy who was healthy and active. We began to pray and come in agreement along with the other intercessors for the child's condition, not knowing what to pray for. We just believed by faith that the boy would be healed. It was touch and go for a few months, but I called to see how he was doing and received exciting news the child was doing much better. The doctors decided to give him a trachea breathing tube before going home and he will receive 24-hour nursing care. The doctors did not make a diagnosis, but with prayer, love, care, and parents who were able to take turns staying with their son encouraging him praying with him, not allowing themselves to give up, we all received a miracle. We all believe that our faith and prayers changed things. Mark 11:25 says, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

According to Webster's Dictionary loss is "an instance of losing someone or something" and "the partial or complete deterioration or absence of a physical capability or function." Typically we think of a bereavement group related to the first definition - losing someone or something. This could be a spouse, close friend, parent, child, or beloved pet. However as we age, the second definition comes into play. Suddenly our endurance isn't what it was or we are not as strong as we remember we were. Pulling a muscle may take longer to heal. We may need a cane or walker to help us get around. Writing lists may become more necessary as our memory wanes. We have to accept that there are physical and mental changes even though we still see ourselves as we were when we were in our 30s, 40s, and 50s. Sometimes these changes happen slowly over time and give us a chance to adjust, but other times things happen and we are suddenly thrown into a crisis that we have to deal with. These are all losses and the bereavement group is here to help us get through these changes. It helps to share what is happening with others who may be undergoing similar issues. So if you are ready to join a supportive caring group of people, please feel free to join us on Mondays 1 to 3 pm in RCN Room 3. The group is facilitated by Laurie Larson Zeldin and Becky KG. For more information please contact Becky at (951) 524-0215 or email at beckykg_1@yahoo.com. All contact is confidential and we look forward to seeing you. ~ Becky Kotzin-Gustafson
