Tara's Thank You!
 |
To the entire St. Blase Community:
I cannot express how much I appreciate EVERYONE'S hard work
from the first meeting regarding Kingdom Assignment 2 to
the Treasure Sale on Thursday till now. I appreciate everyone's
sacrifice of time, talent and of course, treasure! I know
that many of us were hoping for a bigger turnout, however,
the fact is that so many people came out in the Spirit of
God and that in itself is something to be so happy about
and touched by. Walking around and talking to the community
made this experience, alone, a memorable one and quite the
blessing!

Thank you, Fr. Randy, Mary Dumm
and the entire parish office staff for all of your support in answering
questions that so many people had, spreading the word, and everything
else that all of you did to make this a success for St. Blase. Fr.
Randy, a special thank you for coming through on the weather!
Last Thursday turned out to be a beautiful day and helped those
ice cream sales sky rocket! :)
Pat Lenkner...you are an angel
for organizing this and pulling it all together!!! Your heart is
so big and your spirit touches me beyond belief! You have shown
me yet another way in which to follow Christ and I am blessed to
have you in my life. Thank you!
Joyce and Fred Kuspa, Pat Byrne, David
Bushe and Tony Lenkner...your work as the Logistics Committee
was impeccable! Thanks to Dave for getting those bright T-shirts
from Bob Artymovich! I know it made it very easy
to see who was working that day! What a fashion statement we all
made!
Barb Francis...thank you for
contacting Coach's Ice Cream and arranging
for us to have the ice cream cart for the day of the sale as well
as the hots dogs from Dodge Park Coney Island.
Since the weather turned out perfectly, I know that everyone enjoyed
the ice cream...I know I certainly did! The 160 hot dogs were great
for all of us to eat and enjoy the whole day. You are wonderful,
my sister!
Much appreciation to Denise Porcasi
and all of the women who served the hot dogs, sloppy joes and ice
cold water all day long! We all would've passed out if it wasn't
for all of your wonderful efforts!
Beth Clay, Waylon Thacker, Danielle Willman,
Allan Willman, Carol Barrido, and everyone else that helped
making the Kingdom Assignment 2 a wonderful, blessed project; I
thank you so very much!
Last, but by no means least, thank you so very
much to all of the buyers, sellers, everyone that donated to this
project. I cannot even explain how overwhelming it is for me to
witness the Spirit work so profoundly in this community. So many
people have come up to me and said, "Isn't this wonderful?"
My response every time is, "It's absolutely unbelievable!"
During this entire project, I have firmly believed
that the focus was never how much money we would make during KA2.
The fruits of the Spirit were what made this such a success: $100,000
or $1.00. Isn't this what God is always telling us everyday of our
lives? We are all called to open our eyes to His
Spirit and follow that no matter what. Every person, every experience,
makes my life complete and fulfilled. I thank God for all of you.
It doesn't matter what you do, or how big or small your part is
because EVERYTHING is big in His eyes. To be who He called us to
be is such a beautiful thing and for all of us to have witnessed
that is amazing! Thank you again for showing me His love through
all your prayers, support and efforts. I will never
forget how much this whole experience has touched my life forever,
and the beautiful example of Christ's love each and every one of
you has shown.
God Bless to all,
Tara Revyn
